The last refuge of scoundrel police, "disturbing the peace" and "disorderly conduct". Who cares?
If the police have become 10 times more scoundrelly after decriminalization, isn't that something other states should consider when passing similar laws?
Certainly! Too many bored cops are not a benefit to the community. Drug legalization laws should definitely have police force reduction measures, whether that's a direct population-ratio requirement or just a diminution of funds.
