The instance where a non-violent, otherwise inactive citizen is found to be in possession of illicit materials is still the observance of criminal activity and the self-serving disregard for what a law-making nation may deem as preferred behavior.
Such as in a family setting, the alcoholic significant other may say, "what are you giving me grief for, I wasn't doing anything wrong," when confronted with the contentive act whilst truly harming no one other than themselves, the same may similarly occur in the aforementioned circumstance. The person was minding their business, pursuing their happiness.
But do we really want to excuse this type of behavior to just exist around us, unscrupulous individuals working outside the norms of society? We may resign to say corruption is too widespread and therefore the inclination presents to just give up. All the while such individuals and behaviors mock the very system that we subscribe to, at whatever level we reluctantly or submissively choose to do so.
