So you think the police should expend the same energy busting pot smokers as they do locking up murderers, rapists?

No. I think the police should expend the same energy busting pot smokers as they do chasing down the hardened criminals going 50 in a 45mph zone.

The police will go to elaborate lengths (concealment, working in packs, helicopters, radar, laser) to catch a speeder, but they won't bust a bunch of potheads assembled in a large convenient group, openly violating both state and federal law?

This is an act of civil disobedience. It is a national tradition we have in this country to fight evil and unjust laws. The cops were outnumbered 10000 to 17. Not much they could do.

It would be like 10000 speeders all going down the freeway speeding at once. They wait until its over and then go back to picking them off one at a time.
