Currently your officers spend an average of 100 hours on enforcing drug laws, processing paperwork for drug cases, going to court to testify on drug cases, etc etc.

The pool of time does not increase with out more officers or your current staff working more hours, hence the other 300 hours of work your police do on burglary, rape, assault, murder, traffic accidents/violations, theft and general mayhem, one or all of them will suffer as a result of spending more time and energy enforcing one facet of your duty.

Do you think people are going to just show up turn them selves in for something they did at a party, process their own paperwork for your officers, take a deal from the DA plead no contest so your officers don't need to testify? etc etc etc

I'm not being tongue n' cheek about this, I really do think you need it layed out this simply to grasp.

I have come to believe your not actually typing and posting when messages from you show up, you are simply channeling stupid through the ether and they splat on my screen.

I would agree with this breakdown.

He's still wrong. When you have small towns which have small police forces you have smaller crime rates and most of those will not be violent crimes. A few as examples.

Longwood Crime Statistics and Crime Data (Longwood, FL)
772 total crimes with 48 officers. Thats crimes 2.115 crimes a day for those 48 officers. It breaks down to .0440 per officer per day.

http://www.casselberry.org/documents...210/Annual.PDF
1082 total crimes with 52 officers. 2.964 crimes per day. It breaks down to .057 per officer per day.

I can give you more for florida but its a bit harder for other states due to not knowing the areas to look.


Orlando has 750 officers covering 18858 crimes last year. Thats 51.665 per day. It breaks down to .0688 per officer per day.

So as i said its a false argument and the following still applies.

Hemp: The Trillion Dollar Crop

Your really going to give that site as your evidence? Im not denying it has uses but its far from being able to solve the deficit and job market.

BS?

Maybe.

But I don't care. The national debt never gets "solved". It's not like eradicating polio, where once it's gone it's gone for good.

It's like eating right and working out, where every day you have to do it again. You don't get to solve it once and for all. You have to solve it every day.

So it's not about the end game. It's about better and worse.

That judge made some good points. In spirit, I've agreed with what he said for quite a while now. I won't say there aren't downsides, but I think that on balance the prohibition is the path of worse.

And we need better.

If a little bit of the money that's currently building private armies for an international narco-baron mafia gets diverted into state treasuries, I'd be ok with that too.

Cheers,

What good is that little bit of money when the government spends more then it can ever take in? LOL even better what good is when they haven't even been able to make a budget in 3 years? Its simply generating revenue to continue spending more then you take in with no accountability.
