To: Know your rights

"parents of those 18 years and younger would be notified of the infraction." How is leaving punishment to parents rather than the government "liberal"?

They aren't leaving the punishment up to parents, are they? The fine is a civil penalty for anyone, regardless of age. All this is is a parental notification provision in a law that will otherwise treat teens and adults the same. That makes sense to me, I'd want to know if my teenage child was caught with pot.

True ... I overstated my position.

Agreed.
