50,000 Arrested for Pot Possession in NY! - GoFuckYourself.com

BFT3K · 05-04-2010, 01:00 PM

Most New Yorkers don't know that last year, the New York Police Department arrested close to 50,000 people for marijuana possession at a staggering cost of nearly $100 million. Even fewer know that possession of marijuana has been decriminalized in New York State since 1977. Yet over thirty years later, New York City has the dubious distinction as the marijuana arrest capital of the world.

I was reading about this the other day. It surprised me because last year I was told that they had really relaxed on it and that it wasn't a priority to arrest people for pot in NYC anymore. I guess my friend was wrong!

There is far too much money spent on marijuana prohibition.. In oregon possessing under 28grams (almost an ounce) is a fine and a slap on the wrist..

LeRoy · 05-04-2010, 01:04 PM

Cops dont wanna go after real gangsters because they'll get killed.

Weed busts are easy and non violent. Not many tokers are packin heat and the law knows it.

Smokin' one for my oppressed New York bruthas....

TeenCat · 05-04-2010, 01:14 PM

that is very low number

candyflip · 05-04-2010, 01:14 PM

I've never known anyone to get into any sort of trouble for pot in NY. Both times I was searched and had some on me, they just took our buds and sent us packing...probably enjoyed it themselves at bit later.

It's as "illegal" in the eyes of the law as driving 65 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. You get a fine of about $125 if you're caught carrying more than 7/8 of an ounce. My recent speeding ticket was twice that.

That sucks, they should legalize it and stop doing ridiculous arrests... I don't think that smoking weed is a crime

ProG · 05-04-2010, 02:12 PM

$2000 per person? wtf?

L-Pink · 05-04-2010, 02:18 PM

100 million in enforcement costs on decriminalized product and ZERO in taxes on it's sales. Come on everyone ... Do The Math!!!

I wasn't attacking your family or bringing your child into anything. It was a statement and i will stand by it.

V_RocKs · 05-04-2010, 05:45 PM

So what you're saying is that the NYPD stole 50,000 peoples pot?

Black Ops · 05-04-2010, 06:58 PM

Waste of time and resources. The "war on drugs" is a farce.

Arresting people someties can be cruel. They have made many arrests in Cambodia few years ago.

The Porn Nerd · 05-04-2010, 07:47 PM

Got busted for possesion back in '92. Cost me $25 in fines. Don't know what it is today.

Cops are the worst in NYC when it rains. They don't want to walk around so they stand in hallways and bust people in their own buildings.
