"A lot of them were picked up under Guilani's get tough on criminals policy. It worked. Crime in NYC went way down. So much for pot not being related to criminals."
And if we made wearing blue jeans illegal, the crime rate would go up. And then, after arresting all of them, the crime rate would go down. And it would prove that....blue jeans are related to crime?
Obviously you were not aware of his program to reduce crime in NYC. Arrest a known criminal on the streets for pot and you get him off the streets. It shows up as a pot bust but it was a burgler, rapist, thief, hyjacker that was taken down. It worked. Crime went down.
