Are they doing the thing up there where legalization is actually much worse than decriminalization?
Here in MA it used to be a $100 civil fine to be busted with a bag of pot in the car and they could not search your car for the smell of cannabis because possession of cannabis was a civil infraction and not a crime.
Now that it is "legal" they made it so having a bag of pot in your car is like having an open container of alcohol, a crime, and now they can once again search your car for an odor, which is really a gateway to them searching whenever they want because they can always claim they smelled it. And since it is legal they are looking to all sorts of tests for drivers that they never had before to try to bust people for smoking and driving for some reason. As if suddenly being legal makes it dangerous when driving. There is no reason to believe it does, car fatalities drop in states where it is legal, but now it is a crime and they are ramping up enforcement.
I watched a COPS type show filmed in Boston prior to "legalization" and it was great, the cops had to let carload after carload of young people go who had nothing but pot on them, the cop was clearly frustrated. Now he could arrest all the drivers.
