Well DUH! It is a given the cops always have the best weed. It's the ones who use it that makes them different from the rest. Some even grow it, and some firefighters also. The good ones who run into the line of fire or into a burning building to pull someone they don't know out, I will give them some smoke for that. It is the "do as I say and not as I do" fuckers that I hate.
Man that vid is hilarious....whoever that dude was he was seriously getting OFF!!
I definitely agree, but I also believe that the career choice of police officer attracts a certain type "do as I say not as I do" personality.
Was his name Officer Lahey? Was he on official undercover business? Was Randy around somewhere without a shirt?
In Canada they seem to know the harmlessness of Marijuana especially when compared to something like beer. A friend of mine had an O of weed on him in Vanc and a cop found hsi weed on him, made him sit in the back of the cop car with his legs hanging out and made him smoke bowls of the weed. Then he let him go with his weed. Cops in Canada have a little more common sense and actually are professional enough to go after CRIME instead of good people.
HAHA... I wish it was like that here.
same over here, ive worked as a bouncer/doorman in nightclubs for about 10years and all the security guards around this way are the ppl who havent got the stuff to be a bouncer/doorman or who cant get into the police( even as a community support officer lmao) lol
In the end when police do things illegal we have a fiduciary duty to society to hold them personally and legally responsible. It is unfortunate, but it is our solemn duty as citizens of the United States of America.
We also have a fiduciary duty to do everything we can to ensure that the police who do Protect & Serve, and do aim their attention at protecting people directly and going after violent criminals, and criminals who steal get well taken care of. They are paid too little when they are truley doing what they can to make sure individual citizens live a better life. As much as I get mad at bad law enforcement, I do have to remember I know a lot of really really quality good law enforcement who do have the strength to be legit... however it bugs me when I remember seeing a policewoman blackmail my boss in front of me once to protect a guy who on camera broke business property and stole thousands of dollars just cause she knew the guy.
OK, I can respect that premise, so following that reasoning you should have no problem when any officer busts your for simple possession of marijuana...no matter how small the amount or petty the crime because they have a fiduciary duty to society to hold you personally and legally responsible.
An officer looking at a pot user when there are robberies, violence, and victim crime happening is also a break of that duty.... Especially when i'm legal!
Point taken, but your not actually "legal" until the feds changes the scheduling to schedule 2. Your in a "grey" area. The local law enforcement should be following local and state laws and yes, should leave you alone if your following the state and local laws. But don't think for a min. that your actually legal. If feds get involved, the local enforcement will be working side by side with them to take someone down.
I would say using resources to go after a medical pot smoker who does everything they can to be as legal as possible for their medicine would be a step below using resources to sit by crosswalks and wait for people to step outside the xwalk and leap to arrest them for Jay Walking. Given nobody has a license to do that of any sort. But I get your point. I do hold government to a higher standard then people tho, because people are supposed to define the standard by which government operates, being that in America the government is the property of the public. For the people by the people. Government corruption in america almost always leads to violence and crime by those who got screwed over in the corruption, because when people can't rely on their government to protect them they usually mistake that they need to protect themselves any other way possible if the government isn't there to help.
Being high while on duty as any kind of LEO just isn't worth it IMO. Could cost you your life real quick if something serious was to go down.
Indeed lol.
