Drug use, prostitution, and drunk driving records should be sealed!

The law should not push people to the opposite side!

During this time, the hottest topic is undoubtedly the issue of sealing drug use records. It started with the media in Yunnan, and later major mainstream media and universities joined the condemnation of this law. Unfortunately, I feel they are wrong, and wrong to an outrageous extent.

Their original intention is good; public records can help deter crime, shrink the drug market, and reduce the sacrifices of anti-drug officers.

However, they overlook that many people fall into this due to curiosity. If the law labels them as criminals, it is equivalent to stepping on them again, ultimately pushing them towards complete degradation. Such a law is an evil law. The side effects are too great; it is like the fallen leaves of a royal palm tree can kill people, and then all the trees are cut down.

In fact, prostitution and drunk driving are the same. Prostitution is a moral or private virtue issue, and drunk driving is similar. You cannot have a law that brands a person for life, even affecting the next generation's chances. Such a law is undoubtedly an evil law, excessively punitive. For individuals, it is like a cockroach crawling on a pot, and then throwing away the pot and the rice.

I personally support sealing records; every individual has the right to live equally. Regardless of whether they have ever used drugs, engaged in prostitution, or driven under the influence. If equality cannot be achieved, then where do you want to push them?

The law should not simply punish excessively; it is like saying you cannot execute those who fight just because they pose a potential danger of killing. Although social security has improved, we should not also throw out the children.
