I see you've never been to Ohio.Funny thing about cars getting pulled over, (and whatever may come of it.)
Often folks find that when they no longer get intoxicated and drive, the cops no longer "pick on them." Huh?...

They aren't profiling. They are pulling people over for whatever they can.Is it the “war on drugs” that caused this or is it the openness of drug usage? I see it the other way. It’s like much of the other ”in your face crimes” that occur today. Theft, rage, threats, violence and so much more. IOW, if the police were not successful in their drug profiling maybe it would stop; however, I do not think it is as bad as one makes it. What percentage of cars are actually profiled and out of that what percentage are let go versus those who are actually busted?
I believe most LEO’s are leaning towards leniency. Besides, how many do you know are in jail for weed? Maybe fined for the crime they committed.
Likewise, how may further break the law by completing a 4473 when they know better?
Yes, it’s a mess. Until the law changes, it is still a law and the LEO is obligated to do their job. We are obligated to follow the law or suffer the consequences.
One answer, change the law - both in the state and federally……..then watch the real problems arise.
Most of the people on here against this nonsense don't even use the stuff.As this subject keeps reappearing from time to time, I notice that the same people who insist they just want to use at home and not while out operating a motor vehicle seem to be complaining about encounters with police about drugs when they are ... yeah, you guessed it ... operating a motor vehicle
Wasn't our latest William Wallace wannabe complaining about officers scanning a motor vehicle for plainly visible drugs or paraphernalia DURING A TRAFFIC STOP? As in the vehicle was being operated with drugs in the car? Why would contraband be in plain sight if it was not being used?Most of the people on here against this nonsense don't even use the stuff.
Ok….I’ll let you win.Ok, this is my last comment to you, since you are not discussing openly. You have ignored several questions. I suspect because you know can't really make your case logically.
You can drive home with alcohol in the car and not get arrested for it.Wasn't our latest William Wallace wannabe complaining about officers scanning a motor vehicle for plainly visible drugs or paraphernalia DURING A TRAFFIC STOP?

Folks like to say it is no different than alcohol, but you're not allowed to drink and drive either
Neither, (channels @Leadeye) it is the allure of forfeiture cash…Is it the “war on drugs” that caused this or is it the openness of drug usage?
They aren't profiling. They are pulling people over for whatever they can.
How do you explain away civil forfeiture? People getting pulled over and having cash stolen just because they have cash.

The stars have aligned!Great minds, or something like that…
In the real world, the police will sometimes use their discretion and not be "Barney Fifes", obsessed with any tiny thing they can get you on.Very interesting. When should a LEO follow the law and when should he break the law?
According to you, when he follows the law he is a bast*rd (creepy one) but when he ignores the law he becomes a criminal himself.
Don’t be criticizing the LEO for doing his job, instead respect him for doing it. I think there are more creepy basta*ds in this world than creepy LEO’s.
Not if the container is open/visibly in useYou can drive home with alcohol in the car and not get arrested for it.
Better yet, just think if we went back to conditions closer to what prevailed after our founding - where you could pursue most any vice you wished privately but the respect of your peers was desired and necessary and you would be shunned and ostracized if you allowed such 'hobbies' to interfere with taking care of life's necessities. Where you would feel shame for being exposed as weak willed if you allowed your vices to rule your every day life and would be allowed to starve if you wouldn't do the necessary work to provide for yourself and your familyJust think if nobody drank and did drugs. Some would think what a messed up world that would be. But can you imagine?
I agree. I also believe that happens more than we know. It’s rare to hear a good cop story. People who have disrespect for the law and cops will almost always tell a different story.In the real world, the police will sometimes use their discretion and not be "Barney Fifes", obsessed with any tiny thing they can get you on.
In the socialist country to our west they have legalized pot for any use according to state law. The Illinois state police have taken the position that one may possess and buy firearms as long as it does not go through an FFL where a 4473 is required.ATF: Until recreational cannabis is federally legalized, pot users cannot own guns
The federal agency that regulates the firearms industry sent an advisory on Tuesday warning that Minnesotans who use marijuana cannot legally own firearms, despite a new state law legalizing recreational use.www.cbsnews.com
Then share an Andy good cop story…I agree. I also believe that happens more than we know. It’s rare to hear a good cop story. People who have disrespect for the law and cops will almost always tell a different story.
I’ll help you out this one time. The internet is your friend! This is an older one but just google it and you’ll find many many more. Sorry, his name is not Andy.Then share an Andy good cop story…
People forget that as long as it is illegal on the federal level, if you use it, you endanger your second amendment rights by being a habitual user of illegal drugs.The only reason Indiana hasn't gone down that path yet is the coffers are in the black. States like MI and IL were in the red and needed the revenue.
