I see the three separate branches of government as almost completely different things. While I think drugs should be legalized (or at least decriminalized), the police aren't violating any fundamental human rights by arresting someone for marijuana possession. We need to lobby the legislature to fix the laws.

The fundamental human right to be free and their pursuit of hapiness is most definitely being violated when being detained. A police officer can choose to not detain someone or they can choose to detain someone. It is within their purview.
