Yup, you do it enough to the "undesirables" then you can do it to the general public with precedent

I'm curious, can you expand on that? How do people think it will work, and how do you think that differs from reality?

Or you just keep doing it to the undesirables because technically you’re still enforcing the law.

I wonder if this would fall under tax evasion, or tax fraud… which are punishable by up to 5 and 14 years in prison in canada. It still isn’t fair to those without the money to just pay it back when they get caught.

Yea. Or, you know, given the same punishment as every other person does when they can’t pay their debts. Wage garnishments. Not imprisonment

They treat drug dealing stuff differently than medical debt or a default car loan or mortgage.

He’s being punished for not being able to pay his court fines.

That would be like you being imprisoned for not being able to pay back your credit card bills.

No, court fines are imposed when you do something illegal. Not the same as not paying cc bills. Dude dealt drugs, got caught and got nailed. Would it be bad if they sicced the IRS on him to audit him and nail him for tax evasion for not paying taxes on his drug earnings? Like how they nailed Capone?

I'd say that's how you handle drug dealers. Put IRS auditors on them and see what's what.

So if he paid his fines then he would not have to go to prison? Yet guys who have a bit of weed on them don't have a choice and go straight to jail or prison? Wtf....

Damn wasteful drug dealers, spending all their money on avocado meth instead of saving it!
