>Is that our only metric for success now? Putting people in prison? Might as well shred the constitution

You just threw that straw man straight down a slippery slope.

>apparently we're ready to burn everything it stood for to prevent people from getting high

This falls under "punching Nazis". Do you want some guy going around punching people? No, of course not. But if he's punching Nazis, then hey, let him do his thing, man. Same logic here, except it's "tracking meth dealers".

>I know I sound dramatic

I was thinking "moral grandstanding"

I'm okay with the police catching a meth dealer and putting him away. Good job. Keep up the good work.
