I have been wondering lately why people who gamble are often seen as irresponsible people and are sometimes arrested, a few weeks ago in my neighborhood so many young men were arrested in a gambling house for no reason and the police keep raiding casino houses But to my surprise gambling or playing bet is not an illegal activity in my country.
could it be that the police are just abusing gambler on their fundamental right or there is something am not aware of?
Since you said there were many young men in the gambling house the reason was probably they were underage or didn't have ID documents with them to prove their age. Of course in many countries the police is corrupt and use situations like this to get some extra money from these businesses. But if they have an excuse there is nothing you can do besides accepting the rules.
Rules and regulations had been set with these gambling places or any places that minor age shouldnt really be there and its just normal that they would really be penalized once theyve been caught.
If it wasnt legal on the country then those gambling places wouldnt exist on the first place but if they do allow then expect that there were set of rules which should be followed.
About the impression of the public towards gambling then its not something new on where citizens would really be seeing those gamblers to be that bad or something
which does have a disease and i dont know on where those kind of impressions that do last out through ages.
