What are your beliefs and do you believe that it is in our best interest? I personally believe that they are opinionated and that they are made in the "higher powers" interest not ours well at least some of them.

Isn't every law technically an opinion of someones and that someone has to make people believe their opinion...unless it's a common sense law?

Laws are basically the so called 'higher powers' enforcing their morals on us.

Who is this 'our' of which you speak. Your laws might be quite different from my laws. Or are we talking about all laws...
laws in general

It's really dependent on which law. I don't agree with every law and there's plenty of laws people hate that I whole-heartedly support. I'm not going to go through all the laws around the world though.ahh so what your saying is that it is in our best interest to a certain extent? excuse me if im wrong

Some laws are just common sense.
Some are going to be subjective for what people believe is the greater good.

Do I believe laws are opinionated? Yes.
Do I believe laws are made in our best interest? In the most general of sense, yes. More often laws are made to protect in some degree those making the law.
Do I believe that law makers are opinionated and that influences the laws they pass? Yes... hence every political conflict over law making. In the U.S. Congress there is a primarily two-party system and the law makers are extremely opinionated. Welcome to politics.

Laws are not opinionated. Those that interpret them, however, are. A law maker and a law enforcer may see a law in two drastically different ways and have different intentions. What is this higher power that you speak of? How are their morals so drastically different than your own? The point of a law is to protect citizens from themselves. There is a reason why murder is illegal just like there was a reason why in the old testament shellfish was unclean. You try to protect your people as best you can and that is the very purpose of a law (assuming your leaders are sane...). It's so much easier to argue a point when we know exactly what is being argued because there is no real accepted definition of law. I can't help but feel from the wording of your post that this entire topic was made out of the feeling of oppression so getting down to the actual subject will be helpful.

Isn't interpretation solidifying the fact that laws are opinionated?
It is, yes, but I was trying to make a point that there's a difference between the interpretation of a lawmaker and the interpretation of law enforcement therefore emphasizing the power in the enforcement and not the laws themselves. I apologize if that was confusing. A good judge will try to look at the intent of the law, not just what the law says. So in that respect, power lies with the enforcement officer. I'm not sure what your exact position is in law enforcement, but I'm sure you, for example, may see someone break a certain law, but let them go because in your opinion, they had good reason to do so or it wasn't severe enough to justify enforcement other than a warning. In that way, the power lies with you, not the law, not the lawmakers. That's why I asked what their interpretation of "higher power" was.

Ugh, I feel like this thread is about weed legalization still. OP has so little perspective on life that all he can think of is "OMG stupid government won't let me smoke weed!!11"
