So you’re sick of cops kicking down doors? So let’s have no laws, according to your logic.
No one is forcing potheads to break the law. They are responsible for THEIR actions.
In any case, many of these allegedly bad policemen find that these potheads are not just smoking pot.
“LSD lollipops for kids, anyone? Oh: And don’t break down my door.” I wish more backsides were whipped.
Not going to buy the “if there is some restraint on law enforcement then we might as well have no law enforcement” meme you seem to be pushing. The only reason to “kick down the door” is if whatever you suspect is on the other side is worthing killing or dying for. Otherwise, you should accost the suspect away from the area, and/or serve the warrant while he’s not home. Politely. And don’t shoot the dog unless it actually bites (and i capable of actually doing damage to an armored cop).
Pot was not always against the law. The laws against were put place largely thanks to a racially charged crusade against pot by the rather corrupt Randolf Hearst in his newspapers (”Reefer Madness” ring any bells with you?). Didn’t seem to be much of a problem back them. As far as I can tell, making pot illegal was mostly part of a works project for cops put out work by the end of Prohibition. It doesn’t serve the public good and it remains works project for cops and prisons today.
Doesn’t matter if they find the alleged pot smoker was doing something else. The cops can feel free to get a warrant for whatever that something else is.
