RE: An Officer's Take: Thoughts on Broken Windows Theory and Legalizing Marijuana
I agree with your conclusion. However the reality is some state governments make more money by incarcerating people for the possession. Police departments get funding to fight the crime and the prisons get funds from the state to house the prisoners.
Thanks for commenting and reading! Agree that the funding is there, but if the state were to redefine marijuana as legal, users would no longer be subject to these laws.
I agree but those laws need to be changed on the federal level not state. No state wants cut off their money machine. We all should vote for a president that wants to legalize it.
Indeed!
