They have already done all that. They don't arrest you anymore for either of those crimes. You get a ticket that you can promptly ignore because nothing will ever happen.

That is precisely what's going on.

Does anyone remember the Rodney King riots? Watts? What happens every time a big city wins or loses a Superbowl (sic) or NBA championship? The next time you are in a large crowd – at a downtown pop concert or metro station – look around and imagine how many people on the street, if the lights went out and the cops disappeared, would be pulling the gold fillings out of the teeth in your dead body.

Whenever I go to a concert, for at least the past decade, I have always picked seats near the exit and when I arrive at the venue, I scope out my escape route before the show starts. Especially after the massacre in Paris at the Eagles of Death Metal concert. I ain't going out like that.
