"I'm not gonna tolerate the police doing nothing about this."

Ok, you do something about it. Some people need to just shut the fuck up and move the fuck on.

Man! get this guy a doobie!

............because the cops are out policing the one area where the realeasy money is criminals are......traffic violations!!

In the dude's defense, those are bullshit reasons. Officer safety? I never hear officer safety being invoked when there is a real danger like in the case of a robbery or something. Imagine if that happend every time things got dangerous.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that those particular PA residents are allowed to smoke dope in public, what I'm railing against is the ridiculous ambiguity surrounding drug enforcement these days.

One symptom of it is that officers have to come up with disingenuous, bullshit reasons to not enforce a law they don't care to enforce. That's fairly minor and it's just an annoyance because I hate hypocrisy.

Another symptom, however, is that when inclined an officer CAN take significant action, make an arrest and so on - which does have a massive impact on people's lives. Sure, middle class Pennsylvania college kids are shielded from this, but it's definitely not across the board.

So come down on the issue one way or another. My vote is with legalization.
