CONNECTICUT An organization representing over 7,000 law enforcement officers in the state has announced its opposition to Senate Bill 888, the proposed legislation which would legalize recreational marijuana use for adults.
In a letter delivered to members of the state Assembly s Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association said their opposition centered around the absence of any qualified roadside testing of motorists suspected of driving while impaired by cannabis.
