While those police are chasing people smoking pot in their own house they are distracted from catching car thieves, rapist, muderers etc.

If you have ever dealt with the police then you must know they are pretty worthless. They do a good job of chasing people to give out traffic tickets, but let some property crime happen to you and they will be the first to tell you flat out that they won't be able to find the person.

I am sick of government and the Police departments waste as much money as any other goverment department with their silly swat teams, helicopters, sat phones, camoflage etc.

I rather cut out the pot laws and give the police a real job to do or get rid of them too.

Heck put them on the border.

The police are pretty effective or bad depending on the level of unionism they have submitted to. In some areas the police do a fantastic job of policing and in others pretty horrible.

I would suggest (as others have) privatizing certain police functions like going after the druggies...that would free up some resources - mainly the time required to get the evidence.

So no, I would not want to surrender to THC addicts but rather do a more effective job in rounding them up.
