[CA] L.A. Sheriff: Pot Legalization ‘Not Going To Pass, Even If It Passes’

A sheriff that states publicly that he will refuse to obey the law. Lee Baca is a dangerous man and needs to be removed from office ...
L.A. Sheriff: Pot Legalization ‘Not Going To Pass, Even If It Passes’ October 16, 2010 - newsjunkiepost.com
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said on Friday that the voters don’t matter. His deputies’ enforcement of marijuana laws would not change even if voters approved Proposition 19, which would legalize cannabis in California, on November 2, according to the Sheriff. “Proposition 19 is not going to pass, even if it passes,” Baca said in a news conference Friday at sheriff’s headquarters in Monterey Park, reports Robert Faturechi in The Los Angeles Times.
The department run by Sheriff Baca polices 75 percent of Los Angeles County. His staunch opposition to marijuana — even if it is legalized — was echoed Friday by an announcement from Attorney General Eric Holder that federal officials would continue to “vigorously enforce” cannabis laws in California, even if state voters pass the measure.
Baca, who is sworn to uphold California state law, claimed Prop 19 was superseded by federal law and if passed, would be found unconstitutional.
Standing onstage with other prominent opponents of marijuana legalization, including Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, Sheriff Baca colorfully assailed marijuana use, users and sales.
Asked if he had ever experimented with pot, Baca left no room for doubt. “Hell, no,” he said.
Baca claimed legalizing cannabis would have far-reaching effects, including increasing the costs of drug rehabilitation (although most people in rehab for marijuana have been forced there by court order), causing traffic accidents (although marijuana is not a significant factor in auto wrecks), prompting labor disputes with employees getting high on the job (although Prop 19 gives employers the right “to address consumption that actually impairs job performance“), and providing a safe cover for drug cartels selling hard drugs. California’s laws for pot smokers are already lenient enough, Baca claimed.
“If you a need for an ounce or less… then use your marijuana, but use it privately,” Baca said. “If you want to do a joint in your house, do it. Leave the rest of us alone.”
Baca claimed personal users smoking at home were already a non-priority for police agencies, including the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. His department does target pot dealers, he said.
The sheriff came out against Prop 19 early on, joining with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to try to prevent its passage. Polls have shown California voters are almost evenly split on legalization.
Incredibly, Baca claimed on Friday that local law enforcement agencies — which, again, are sworn to uphold state laws — should abide by federal drug laws prohibiting marijuana, even if Prop 19 passes.
“[Prop] 19 has no effect on what we’re going to do,” Baca said.

Lol, what a dumbass. I am a bit curious however as to how the police are going to deal with Prop 19 if it passes. State police can't arrest someone for a federal crime, can they?

--- He looks evil doesn't he? Sounds like someone is about to get fired.  He claims to be a marijuana expert, but has never tried it. That is like claiming to be an expert on flying an airplane without ever even sitting in the drivers seat. Shame on him. Quote:
Asked if he had ever experimented with pot, Baca left no room for doubt. “Hell, no,” he said.
As in "Satan told me not to".
Even though Baca has never tried marijuana, he claims legalizing cannabis would have far-reaching effects, including increasing the costs of drug rehabilitation (although most people in rehab for marijuana have been forced there by court order or given the option of rehab or jail), causing traffic accidents (although marijuana is not a significant factor in auto wrecks), prompting labor disputes with employees getting high on the job (although Prop 19 gives employers the right “to address consumption that actually impairs job performance“), and providing a safe cover for drug cartels selling hard drugs (huh?). Beca is a failure.
“If you a need for an ounce or less… then use your marijuana, but use it privately,” Baca said. “If you want to do a joint in your house, do it. Leave the rest of us alone.” Wait, did he say "If you a need for" what does that mean? "use your marijuana" and "do a joint"? Leave the rest of us alone? What do you mean? Is he drunk?
Baca claimed personal users smoking at home were already a non-priority for police agencies, including the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. His department does target pot dealers, he said.
OK, so you don't target users who smoke at home without you knowing about it, but you target the people that sell the pot to the people that you don't target. You can't have people with pot, unless you have people to provide the pot. If you can't grow it yourself legally, then you have to get it from someone else. If someone else has to pay for it, they are going to have to sell it to you to get it. That is like saying "We don't care if you eat McDonalds food, but we will arrest McDonalds workers for selling you the food". So let's see, you arrest all the providers so that nobody is providing it, and you don't allow people to make their own, but you don't mind if people have their own. Your intention is to try to eliminate all the marijuana so that nobody has any at all. This means you are indirectly targeting people who use it privately in their own home.
Beca is stupid.
Again, it is the people who PROFIT (off easy targets), that are against Prop 19. They know pot heads don't put up physical fights, they know their generally very kind people, unlike drunks who can be dangerous to deal with. To them, busting pot dealers and pot heads is easy money. They don't care that they break up families and throw nice citizens in jail for just smoking a plant that doesn't harm other people or make them violent or more likely to commit a crime. They just want that easy money. Since so many people smoke weed, they have a high chance of probability of busting any random person they harass.

To douchecop:
If it's legal under state law you can take it from me anyway and that's not theft? I fucking hope you're telling the truth about not targeting personal users in their homes, because if it's legal and somebody other than the Feds themselves comes in to take it from me there's gonna be gunplay just like if you walked in my house and tried to take my 1000$+ LCD tv. I am not gonna be missing with a pump down my hallway, either.

I don't see how they can claim that employers would be forced to let employees smoke on the job. A business is private property and property owners can say what goes on their property. I worked at a factory where you could be sent home if you get caught smoking on factory property.

first off i feel like this guy has never smoked weed in his life, and i feel it is necessary to know what your talking about in order to have an accurate standpoint on the situation/topic. secondly he says its ok to smoke pot in private, how does he expect the people to get the marijuana? grow it in their hoses? would they not be going after them for intent to distribute? thats ridiculous these people are going to their local pot dealers, which apparently are the bad marijuana users he is targeting, he isent makin any sense-this guy is a fucking tard. the fact that its even being considered for legalization is a great sign, to me anyway nothing anyone does will ever stop people from using drugs

Scary. I'm starting to worry for this prop again. Those who used to be in power support it for the most part, but those who ARE in power oppose it. We need more support in california, immediately.

This Sheriff is a coward.
Guess what Baca?
You have the upper hand in your county. The Sheriff is the highest law of the land. Not Eric Holder, the DEA, FBI, and not some piss ant police chief. If the people vote in a state law, it is the sheriffs duty to uphold that law, unless of course it violates the U.S., or state constitution. If the DEA wants to come to L.A. county guess what? It is the sheriff who is supposed to grant or deny permission to the DEA. It is not the other way around.
What usually happens is the feds will give the sheriff new toys, or money to buy new toys and pay himself, and his deputies bonuses. That federal money is not free, It has strings attached like free reign of the county. A bribe to get their federal boots on the ground.
After watching Bush steal the election in 2000, again in 2004, and Obummer brainwashing the masses. Id have to say that prop 19 will probably be hacked in the favor of the alcohol and tobacco corporations.

I was reading the comments on the LA times site, and most of the people are in support of 19, and recalling this Sherrif.
One of the posters made a real good point: He has no jurisdiction over federal law, and if he tries to arrest anyone for anything allowed under 19, he will be laughed out of court. Can you imagine if he tried to arrest someone for buying a beer because he didn't agree with the 21st amendment?
I was once at court, and remember seeing a court situation go like this: Judge: You are charged with minor in possession? Defendant: Yes your honor Judge: Care to explain yourself? Defendant: It was my 21st birthday, and the ticket was issued at 1:05am Judge: You were given a ticket for drinking when you were 21? There is no crime here, all charges dropped. Next case.
I'm more concerned with people pointing to the RAND study saying that it won't affect cartels, and therefore is a reason to keep marijuana illegal (wtf?).

Or shot. Not like you can just kick down a door for no reason and walk into somebody's house and expect not to be. Since no judge will be signing a warrant if it does pass, I don't see what puts him different from anybody else who would kick a door in and rob someone.

Can anyone find contact information for this guy? I'll happily email him with my thoughts on his ridiculous stance.

Perfect! Thank you. I might even save that page to my favorites so I can frequently remind them how absurd Mr. Baca's stance is. Sending them a complaint now.
