Canadian police chiefs propose ticket system for pot

[Locutus]

Canada’s police chiefs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of reforming drug laws in the country.

The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, meeting in Winnipeg this week, wants officers to have the ability to ticket people found with 30 grams of marijuana or less.

Kentville, N.S., police Chief Mark Mander, chair of the association's drug-abuse committee, said Tuesday officers currently have only two choices: turn a blind eye or lay down the law.

Mander said officers could "either to caution the offender or lay formal charges resulting in [a] lengthy, difficult process, which results in a criminal charge if proven, a criminal conviction, and a criminal record.”

Mander said ticketing the offender would be far less onerous and expensive.

Tickets for something you already walk away from? Sounds like a cash grab to me. Hooray for cash grabs that save the children.

No criminal record, then not precluded from employment with many employers, able to travel to all countries. We know how the US frowns on such types of records.

They NEVER bust anybody with under an OZ in the first place. The cost of courts for unpaid tickets cost how much more than nothing?
