Broward Commissioners Pass Marijuana Ordinance * 1
    #22506839 - 11/10/15 08:04 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

It's not legalization, but it's a great step in the right direction.

Quote:


Broward County commissioners are moving forward with fines for misdemeanor marijuana possession, rather than arrests and criminal charges.

Commissioners in Broward passed an ordinance Tuesday that allows law enforcement officers to issue civil citations instead of filing criminal charges against people carrying 20 grams or less of marijuana. Florida state law makes misdemeanor marijuana possession punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The citations, which are up to an officer's discretion, will be for $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second and $500 for the third.

"We are basically alleviating the burden of going to prison where, as one of our speakers noted, that when you get into the criminal justice system that we have you come out and then your life spirals downhill and I need you more bad than good," Commissioner Dale Holness said.

"It is illegal, we are not legalizing marijuana today, you know we are not legalizing marijuana today, so the bottom line is you are delaying jail time," Commissioner Barbara Sharief said.

Commissioners decided that on the third civil fine an assessment would be required, possibly leading to treatment and or an education program, a critically important piece of the ordinance, according to Broward's chief misdemeanor drug court judge.

"At least they learn something, they know what marijuana is, what it does, how it affects their life," Judge Sharon Zeller said.

Civil citations would not be allowed if the marijuana is found in conjunction with other crimes, like driving under the influence, a domestic violence incident or any other felony.

Miami-Dade County and the city of West Palm Beach have approved similar ordinances.
