Cops of Lemmy?
I assume so, but obviously I hope not…
Oh buddy.
Oh, I know.
my sister dated a cop from a cop family a couple years ago. she said even long after weed had long been legalized in our state he still had a lot of harmful assumptions he’d make about someone if they smoked weed, along the lines of them just stright up being bad and immoral people, comparing them to more serious and/or violent criminals and vaugly dehumanizing them along with everyone else he saw as a law-breaker.
ultimately as far as I heard he didnt let these judgments significantly impact his work though, never heard a word of him doing anything more corrupt than driving a bit wrecklessly when bored on patrol. I mean I’m sure they did have an impact, but I mean to say he didnt do anything cartoonishly evil about it as long as he and my sister stayed dating.
Alternatively, my friend (the biggest stoner I know) married a cop. Our state never officially decriminalized it. His stance has basically been “as long as I don’t see it, we have plausible deniability and I don’t need to do anything about it.”
Before it became decriminalized in MA in a lot of places the worst that would happen is what stoners would call “the bowl tax”.
The cops would smash your glass. Basically to send a message that your being dumb smoking in an openly public space and making them waste their time on you.
I’m a law enforcement officer. I use marijuana to criminalize otherwise innocent and nonviolent minorities so that I can shoot them without consequences.
Pew Pew!
Nah JK I’m not a piggy.
I’d be very surprised if there were many cops here who would out themselves just to answer your question.
If I were to speculate, however, I imagine that they don’t really care that much. Cops have other things to worry about, too, including a wide range of other drugs they can plant on “troublesome” suspects.
Would they be outting themselves tho, look below in the comments to see what I mean.
Funny how you thought someone who works in the police force would be on the platform that predominantly hates them.
Sometimes people just make you laugh.
I’d love to know how cops feel, in weed legal states, having to go from busting weed producers and sellers, to protecting them.
I’m one of dem dare peollicy ofifimericers. I think, if it doesn’t have anything to oppressing minorities than I’m not interested, ya see.
Every time you speak it’s like an episode of Columbo
I have my fun.
