One thing I don't like about LEAP

January 30, 2010 02:37AM
They kick out cops who say:
"I have come to a conclusion in reading the document I am sworn to defend: It is unconstitutional for the state to take action against a sick person who decides to use Marijuana to treat a medical condition. I will never arrest a person who possesses, uses, grows marijuana to treat a medical condition……. and neither should any other NH LEO who intends follow his or her oath. I won’t even take it from them. "

Here's the entire original posting:

And the response by LEAP:
"It has come to LEAP’s attention from the below blog entry, that you have
chosen to violate the oath you took on joining the police department; to
enforce all the laws of the federal and state governments in which your
police department has jurisdiction. And worse, you are calling on other law
enforcement officials to violate their oaths of office.

This is the opposite of what LEAP requires of our representatives. We have
always said that we will in no way ask that any law enforcer decline to do
his or her duty by refusing to enforce the laws as they are currently
recorded. That would be unethical and wrong. What we do call on them for is
take action on their off-duty time to help us change those laws.

Because you have so blatantly stepped over that line, your actions have
caused people to lose respect for our organization, which leads to a loss of
our credibility within the public, the media and the policymakers; the very
people whom we are trying to convince to change these laws."

While I understand their point of view on this issue, I disagree with their reaction.

Everything Officer Bradley said is true.

But in his opinion two of the legal documents he's supposed to uphold were in conflict.

PaulO January 30, 2010 08:00AM

Link within.

Agree - drugs are a health issue, not a law and order issue.

As long as it says Phizer on the side it doesn't matter how harmful or addictive it is! YAY! (n/t)

If it says Phizer it isn't a drug. "Drugs" are only things the US doesn't get to charge taxes on.

Edited to add, Damn, you were sarcastic! Still relevant info inside!

Sam January 30, 2010 08:47AM

PS I could find more if anyone wants. But yeah, pharm drugs are safe.

Sam January 30, 2010 08:48AM

Caffeine is more addicting than marijuana. Has mind altering effects too, but to a lesser degree. (n/t)

PaulO January 30, 2010 07:53PM

But the mind altering effects are to a MUCH lesser degree. n/t

Depends on the dosage.

hopelessdwarf January 30, 2010 11:07PM

Yeah, what he said. It's true.

Uh, it's true?

Nah I got it. We like to play dumb for jokes har har. nt

It should just be legal, we have enough taxes. (n/t)
