Police unions routinely lobby and have a big influence on what should be legal or not. Marijuana is a big one, cops are against any type of legalization. Why? Because it allows them to search any vehicle, all they have to say is they smelled pot. And then there's the forfeiture aspect. Cops look out for themselves, not the people they are hired to protect.
