Reply #1: Obedience to the Law is Virtuous

In Amsterdam, nobody gets busted except people who are making a ruckus, or are "drunk and disorderly". Most of them are drug tourists. I think they want to be able to whisk the imbeciles off to the drunk tank for the night and discourage rowdyism.

Soccer also fosters rowdyism that the local burgomeisters are keen on suppressing. I can't say I blame them. An velvet glove, iron hand, a painful-but-fair fine and some well-trained cops, and I think it would work fine.

That's in theory, of course ...

Cut the cops a break. Stay home when you get high.
