    But that falls into people being harmed and as awful as it is and shouldn’t happen that becomes something they probably need to report. You could say the same argument about getting drunk or going hiking. People are targeted there as well but that doesn’t mean the police can just not let you engage in those activities based on that.

    Statistically on top of it all more people die and are maimed driving by a massive amount, more people die in barfights and arguments on the street, more suffering comes from other sources so to say it’s a big problem just isn’t true. It comes down to people can do what they want to do

      I asked because you specified physical danger. Ignoring other forms of harm would allow the things I mentioned, as well as cases I think we all can agree are wrong, like abuse of a position of power for sex.
