God I hope that's not the case, that it's not pressure from police "unions." How much ongoing regression can this country lay at the feet of the police? If it's the case of waiting for a federal reclassification, then that's at least understandable on some level.

That swine chief from Bedford has multiple chiefs from other counties whinging about safety with no sources on it. Meanwhile buying alcohol EVERYWHERE is perfectly fine while they can bag anyone for minor possessions still and pocket it themselves. The amount of times my friends had cops catch them with weed and they take it for themselves to keep it "hush,hush" is so warped. Theyre smoking it themselves, that never hits an evidence locker or whatever the piglets are supposed to do with it

You don't think the police are heavily invested in marijuana staying illegal? They would actually have to do their job more if it was legalized and you know what kind of fits they throw when they are told to do anything.

Yup I 100% agree. And a perfect point is this. How many arrests stem from the car "Smelling like weed" thus initiating either a K9 or a search. If that was mute, and they could no longer use that as a tool to search and arrest it would completely shift the paradigm of traffic policing in my opinion.
