In america the police are dicks, guns are legal. What more can I say? I think over here you are allowed to be under the influence, as long as your not driving or in possesion

huh...thats interesting. Fleeing the scene of a crime when no crime was initailly commited. I always thought a charge would have to be pressed before deeming a location the scene of a crime. I dont think cops are really out to get people who are under the influence anyways (unless they are driving a car of course) if that was the case then they could go to a Dead concert and "detain 95% of the crowd.

Drug breathalyserin the works - Marijuana law makes device necessary, says Solicitor General
By Amy Pugsley Fraser / Staff Reporter
The federal government is pursuing development of a breathalyser for illegal drugs, the Solicitor General told a national conference in Halifax on Sunday evening.
The initiative goes hand in hand with the government's upcoming marijuana bill, Wayne Easter told a group gathered for opening ceremonies at a meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
There is not yet a reliable, non-intrusive roadside method to test drivers for drugs as there is for alcohol.
"The Mothers Against Drunk Driving have complained consistently - and that's their right - about there not being a (drug) breathalyser in place," Mr. Easter said.
The government's upcoming marijuana bill would make possession of up to 15 grams of pot a minor offence that would carry a fine but no criminal record.
With the new legislation, $910,000 would be set aside for public education, better drug-detection training for officers, and research and development, the Malpeque MP said during his 25-minute speech.
Part of that money would go toward developing a special drug breathalyser for use in roadside stops.
Mr. Easter, a P.E.I. farmer before he was elected to Parliament in 1993, assured the almost 800 gathered under a huge canvas tent on the Halifax waterfront that such initiatives show that Ottawa is treating marijuana seriously.
"We don't want our kids smoking marijuana," he said.
"We've had an anti-smoking campaign in terms of tobacco, and the strategy here is to use funding to help."
The former Liberal backbencher, who replaced fellow Islander Lawrence MacAuley as Solicitor General last October, said the government is relying on the courts to follow along with its national drug strategy.
"We expect the courts to impose those penalties because they must if we are to deal with those marijuana grow operations in a big and effective way."
Mr. Easter also said police have a big part to play.
"We have to recognize that, in Canada, the enforcement in terms of marijuana laws across the country is not uniform, and we're hopeful that through this bill . . . we'll bring some uniformity and consistency for laws across the country and we hope that the law enforcement community will act on those laws."
The MP congratulated the chiefs of police - and their organizations - for their "pretty darn good" work and said Canadians should be proud of their worldwide reputation for showing police officers respect and trust.
The government is keen to work with police organizations across the country on key issues such as organized crime, border enforcement, citizen security, Internet child pornography and the new threat of identity theft.
"We have to bring all parts of the justice system into a united front to protect public safety," Mr. Easter said.
The Solicitor General's office is in charge of the RCMP, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Correctional Service of Canada and the National Parole Board.

smelling like pot is not a crime.
it can be used as reasonable suspicion, but is not a crime.

you are sadly mistaken. police do whatever they want. your websites with rules and rights mean nothing. they can illegally search you, but if they find something bad, guess what, you're fucked, no matter what. you must think that cops are good people, or something. but no, they want to make their cash and bust everyone they can. end of story. you must not've ever been arrested by a real cop before....

I agree, reminds me once of when I was younger. There was maybe 5-6 of us at this playground/park thing smoking and a cop came. All parephenalia was hidden, went over to the car and talked to him. Just said we were not allowed to be there after dark and we had to leave. I think he mentioned the car smelling like smoke (had been baking it out earlier), but didn't do say anything really.
