I've got over 24 years in county corrections and I'm all for legalization. Quite a few law enforcement agencies have openly said they're all for legalization as well. It's the federal government and their stranglehold on funding that keeps feeding this bullshit among other factors. I've worked in booking for most of my career. I'll tell you straight up I'd rather deal with a stoner over a drunk any day of the week. It's a travesty of justice that one is legal and the other isn't.

  • Oh yeah....I know there are definately some law enforcement groups & certainly individuals that are on the right side of this issue. It's still true though that the law enforcement & prison employee lobbying groups are a couple of the largest organizations that are pumping money into the fight against legilizaton.

  • I haven't seen anything on that. The only exception would be privatized prisons, which should be outlawed. There was one case I saw where a judge was getting kickbacks from a corporation for handing out long sentences. I think he got a lot of time himself. I honestly feel like non violent/victimless crimes could be handled in much better or creative ways. I've seen a lot in my time and there is just so much that just doesn't make sense.

  • Right the real son of the country. Making a profit off of locking up non violent people. Obama just pardoned a guy in Missouri serving life for smoking some weed.
