“Would an end to these arrests put over 30% of our Police out of a job? Would an end to the tickets, paroles lawyer fees and fines paid by those accused of pot possession put a city at great financial compromise? I hope not.”
So you’re good with putting otherwise harmless people in cages, so long as it provides jobs and creates revenue?
Okay.
No. Not justifying it at all. I’m just wondering have the City Court and Legal systems become so dependent on this type of arrest as an artificial way of staying solvent given their expenditures that they would implode or crash without it?
If such is the case, they need to restructure their budgets and their priorities.
No it's just better to shoot druggies and dealers.
