He's also been known to bow down to the police unions, who have spent so long treating it as a major crime they can't begin to contemplate it as nothing. It's a systemic brainwashing.

Ugh. Private prisons should be illegal. That tidbit of info has definitely soured part of my Sununu views. Thank you for sharing. It's not even the potential family ties abuse that bug me, it's fact that he supports them at all.

God I hope that's not the case, that it's not pressure from police "unions." How much ongoing regression can this country lay at the feet of the police? If it's the case of waiting for a federal reclassification, then that's at least understandable on some level.

That swine chief from Bedford has multiple chiefs from other counties whinging about safety with no sources on it. Meanwhile buying alcohol EVERYWHERE is perfectly fine while they can bag anyone for minor possessions still and pocket it themselves. The amount of times my friends had cops catch them with weed and they take it for themselves to keep it "hush,hush" is so warped. Theyre smoking it themselves, that never hits an evidence locker or whatever the piglets are supposed to do with it

You don't think the police are heavily invested in marijuana staying illegal? They would actually have to do their job more if it was legalized and you know what kind of fits they throw when they are told to do anything.

Yup I 100% agree. And a perfect point is this. How many arrests stem from the car "Smelling like weed" thus initiating either a K9 or a search. If that was mute, and they could no longer use that as a tool to search and arrest it would completely shift the paradigm of traffic policing in my opinion.

They know it's nothing. No police officer in America believes weed is any worse than alcohol. They just enjoy having an easy way to skirt around the 4th ammendment.
