Yeah, what do those videos have to do with a meth user breaking the law by driving under the influence, then obstructing justice, and resisting by trying to hide his stash?
Oh right, nothing.

Either way, you are definitely a threat. If you are drug trafficking or selling, you are a criminal. Criminal is a frame of mind, not just an act. You know what you are doing is serious, wrong, and illegal, but you do it anyway. It takes a certain kind of frame of mind to engage in that. A disregard for law for starters. If you are using, that alone says you are a danger because you are incapable of making sound judgments. You are also prone to mood swings and violence depending on the drug. You are unpredictable.
Oh and don't give me that "it is because the war on drugs that they get killed" line. If you are a user, you probably cause the threat you cause unintentionally. A user might accidentally kill or injure somebody because they aren't mentally capable of making good choices. If they are selling/distributing/trafficking, it is because they are criminals, and if it wasn't drugs, it would be some other illegal item or trade. Human trafficking? Illegal weapons? Whatever they could get their hands into in order to make big easy money.

If you dislike the law, then work to change it.
Write someone...
Beyond that, the law is generally the majority rule of what is acceptable in this society.
The same is true for all societies throughout history.
Sorry, but those are the facts...

Ok...
Lets really simplify it for you...
You have the right to do anything you want in this country, UNTIL you infringe on the rights of another...
When you infringe on another's rights you are breaking the law.
Endangering others while driving under the influence is infringing on another's rights.
