Have you ever gotten a ticket as an adult for walking down the street with a beer in your hand as an adult? I haven’t.
So one is in general laws are enforced when a nuisance is created. Now one might argue that a nuisance is created by having people shoot up in the DTES. But it’s actually because you have moved people out of all the other areas through enforcement to reduce the problem elsewhere.
Ticketing or arresting just moves the problem around it doesn’t stop it. So it’s up to a city to either concentrate it or have it spread out.
