Good for him - the Drug War is a farce, and most cops I have talked to won't even make an arrest on a marijuana possesion charge anymore.

Unless you have huge quantities on hand, or give the cop a lot of grief, IME most cops will simply make you throw it out, if that.

In Philly if the cops caught you smoking a joint on the street they would just laugh and tell you to put it out and finish it at home

This society would be intolerably repressive if most cops didn't have more sense than the idiots that write the laws.

GOOD!

A senior narcotics officer in the region, Mark Waters, was similarly incensed. "This is a slap in the face to all that we do to uphold the laws and keep the public safe," he said.

Safe from that evil narcotic...MARIJUANA!

As a drug officer, Cooper said, he made more than 800 drug arrests and seized more than 50 vehicles and $500,000 in cash and assets.

That's a big motivator for bad laws, who would have guessed cash and booty would be evil like that?
