Actually I agree with Obama on this. Low level drug offenses are a State criminal law concern. I am against a massive Federal police force that has given itself jurisdiction over all kinds of offenses that have always been state matters. It’s a major step toward tyranny.

Most police powers belong at the state level. The feds need stuffed back in their Constitutional box.

You bet. Combine civil asset forfeitures (a major fruit of the WOD) with complete government data acquisition of all of your finances, and you have a very dangerous potential for arbitrary confiscation of property.
