If someone's "solution" to someone putting something in their body (War on Drugs) which they reckon is potentially harmful is just having a cop bust down their door, shoot their dog, beat them up, and haul them into a cell where there is a good chance they'll be beaten, raped, or commit suicide (whether in the cell, even after they leave, there may be an increased chance), then maybe there is a very big problem with that "solution" indeed.

Also, tearing apart families (for however long someone is locked up for), which isn't good for their children's mental health or life prospects.

Locking people up is not a magic solution to social issues.
