As you may remember, when the bill was first proposed, Police Commissioner ramsey said he was going to enforce the state law. So i called up the Police Department, the commissioner was unavailable. A spokesperson told me once the law goes into effect next month, after Council Votes next week, their officers will abide by it and they wont be putting people in jail.

Reporter the mayor and councilman insist, young adults are the ones theyre thinking of, those who make a mistake, cant get a job or join the military. Lousy petty crimes are bogging down the court system and, therefore, anything that you can do to alleviate the backlog of court might be a good thing. Save jail for offenders. Reporter this would free up the officers time to some extent. Officers would have to write up paperwork on summary offenses and theyre the one thats confiscate marijuana in the situations, which means they have to drop that marijuana, that drug off, at the Police District as soon as it comes into possession even if in the middle of the shift.
