I thank The Daily Collegian for publishing Sean Collier's columns. Without them, I would not know college is not a place for learning, or that police have better things to do than enforce the law ("Drinking citations cause more harm than good," April 5).

Wednesday's column states the police should stop working so hard to enforce the underage drinking laws and worry about other crimes. I hate to point out the obvious, but it's the job of the police to enforce the law. The drinking age is 21 and that is the law. Collier stipulates if the police backed off of underage drinkers, students wouldn't be afraid of police. On a day-to-day basis, students aren't afraid of the local police. It's when students are breaking the law that they feel the need to flee. It's not the police they fear; it's the punishment. Isn't the point of punishment to deter crime by making people afraid of the consequences?

As far as his analogy between drinking laws and seat-belt laws, it didn't even make sense. Finally, about Facebook.com: If you're foolish enough to commit a crime and write about it on the Internet, then you deserve to be punished.
