You know how it is. All dope heads are perfect individuals that just want to expand there horizons while they relax on down the highway. It's not like anything bad ever comes of that, right?
I dont believe in this "war on drugs". To begin with you should never be at war against the people you are supposed to serve and protect. Another thing, and far more important, whenever you make a "war" you start fighting it with numbers. And then the entire thing becomes a BS numbers game. And its big money too. Getting caught with weed in your car will either make you lose the car or have to pay big $$ to get it back. And it goes on and on. Big numbers = big money.
I know we have to go against importers to this country but as far as im concerned, unless they are putting the public at risk, individual use should be between the citizen and their doctor.
When it comes to petty victimless crimes (especially ones conceived and perpetuated with lies), we free americans like the police to focus on more serious matters. This being the mentality of many a civil officer.
The problem with that is with "pick and choose enforcement" eventually some officer is going to pick one you dont like.
And thru all this nobody mentions the fact that the real ones responsible are the knuckleheads all of you elected. To acknowledge that would mean to acknowledge that each of you hold some responsibility for a crap system. Of course its much easier to blame the ones in perma-press who are on the lowest rungs of power in the system.
LEO's have nothing better to do than pick of 2 types of people...Poor and Poor/Stupid...because anyone with enough money for a lawyer can get out of anything...its the American Dream
Actually, and you would know this if you knew anything about being the Police, the system is set up to get $$$ from the poor working schmucks who pay all the Bills and actually work for a living. You really think "Homie from the Hood" is going to pay his legal fees and his bills?
Ive caught them with 10G $ in their pockets and still the court gives them free representation because the money we confiscated and Homie doesnt have, nor never has, a legit job he has paid taxes with.
