Whoa! What's this? I'd like some input.

Weed Watch: Denver Police Ignore Pot Possession Law
Jordan Smith | Austin Chronicle | 12/09/2005

Although 54% of Denver voters approved a measure last month legalizing possession of up to 1 oz. of marijuana by adults over 21, it appears local law enforcers are continuing on as though the law doesn't exist. At least that's how it appears to 39-year-old real estate consultant Eric Footer, reports the Rocky Mountain News, who was arrested by Denver PD on marijuana possession charges last month, one day after the election results were certified.

Footer was pulled over by police on Nov. 17, the daily reports, and, thinking the new Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative was in full effect, allowed the cops to search his car, which turned up a vitamin bottle full of pot and netted Footer a $200 citation. But Footer doesn't want to pay and, with the support of drug reform advocates, he intends to challenge the ticket in court. "I was just angry and confused. I didn't understand how the law could be in effect and not be enforced," Footer told the RMN. "It doesn't make sense. It either is or it isn't the law."

While legalized marijuana possession may be the law in Denver, it isn't the law for Colorado, note officials, who say they'll continue to prosecute pot possessors as they always have. "The state law is still in effect and cases will be prosecuted now, just like they were before," Assistant City Attorney Vince DiCroce told the daily. "We're going to just continue to do what we've done." And doing it they are: In the weeks since the law, ostensibly, went into effect, police have filed at least a dozen pot possession cases against adults who would otherwise have been protected by the new law.

Denver law makes it mimimal charge but it doesn't go for Federal law...

Fuck LEO, the US is so fucked up.

jesus fucking christ...what kind of world is this???

you know why they did that, right?..it was to arrest more people for smoking pot, because they woul think they are safe...its another sneaky move by the dickheads in office...

Maybe the Police Station forgot to hold their briefing on it. Stupid Non-Potheads! They forget everything, if we didn't remind them, or prove to them that it's harmless and productive.
