Police: New British marijuana law hazy
    #7495609 - 10/07/07 06:21 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

LONDON, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- British police are criticizing the government’s decision to downgrade marijuana possession from a class B to a class C crime.

Downgrading marijuana possession sends the message that marijuana use, which has “ruined people’s lives,” is not serious, said Ian Johnston, president of the Police Superintendents Association of England and Wales, The Independent reported Sunday.

It also has created confusion amongst law enforcement officials about how to enforce the law, Johnston said. In some areas, police prefer to issue cautions to people caught with the drug, while in others they practice a zero-tolerance policy.

Cautions, which do not result in a permanent criminal record, increased 28 percent to more than 81,000, the newspaper said. This year, the Association of Chief Police Officers issued guidelines recommending warnings instead of prosecution in marijuana possession cases.

Do cops keep records of cautions, or can you be 'the first time' each time and keep getting cautions?

Awesome, I wanted to see some of the sights blazed last time I was in London, but was afraid of being caught, but if it's just a warning, woohoo!

WTF are the police confused about? just quit arresting pot suspects.

Do they mainly hire retards for police officers like we do here in the states?

"To do right is to know what you want. Now when you are dissatisfied with yourself it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. I don't meant that if you chose to pursue the objects you most value, you will attain them; of course not. Your experience will tell you that. But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana
