> if the government knows about someone selling drugs and does nothing about it, you can sue the government.

at least in the US, there are only a few limited times the government is open to civil litigation - and nonenforcement of the law is not usually one of them




I didn't know, nonenforcement is a term. I thought it might be just negligence.

Should've left the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer.

Thanks for the clarification.
