A high-profile group of current and former law enforcement officials from the United States is calling on the Canadian government to reconsider the mandatory minimum sentences for minor marijuana offenses proposed in Bill C-10, arguing that the taxation and regulation of cannabis is a more effective policy approach in reducing crime.

The law enforcers on Wednesday released a letter outlining their concerns, addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Canadian senators. It is signed by more than two dozen current and former judges, police officers, special agents, narcotics investigators and other criminal justice professionals, all of whom are members of the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).

The letter strongly reinforces the failure of U.S. crime policies upon which those proposed in the Canadian federal government’s Bill C-10 legislation seem to be modeled.

I wish….but with our fucking morally deficient government in power….I highly doubt they will listen….they don’t take advice seriously unless it comes from corporate lobbies.
