When so many common, consensual and mostly-harmless activities are criminalized, especially in communities with less resources to keep things in private homes, "perfect enforcement" becomes impossible by design. Instead, law enforcement have a vast catalog of infractions and suspicions they can use to target people at their discretion. Before we can ever hope to have equitable law enforcement, we need to reform this culture of criminalization. And vastly increasing privacy rights, the same ones being gutted by the current Supreme Court, wouldn't hurt either.

What does enforcement of law look like to you? As in, how do we concretely deploy police resources and use them to improve public welfare?

Is the answer basically "officers only use force against individuals who are actively committing violence against them at that same very moment and otherwise just exist and don't engage with any particular person more or less than any other"?
