I would not think to offer the officer a bribe, No finacial gain for the officer other then a quick grand
If and when I get pulled over, I get the professional courtesy "warning" no ticket and I don’t even have to show my PBA cards.
For some reason you take offense when I or anyone says anything bad about police, Why?
You seem to have this ideology that all cops are good and do what the job is meant to be, a civil servant.
Ask a cop what his job boils down to, all or most are not going to say civil servant, most will say serve and protect. Big difference from a motto to job description.
.
I never said that, I'm simply pointing two ridiculous notions.
1. you can trust a drug user over a police officer. As a whole.
2. That we have more corrupt officers vs honest ones.
If you want a taste of real corruption get in a wreck in Latin America. And get in a bidding war with the cops on who gets the ticket.
And yes I'm sorry, but running around with the false notion that cops are bad and out to get you is wrong.

I can not get into CDS tolerance on this board since it maybe construed in way that its not meant to be.
I have read and partaken in to many lectures and class’s about it to know how the industry, government have to much vested other wise and utilizing the war on dr ugs as a money making machine.
It simply comes down to money.
Take prohibition as the example. The government placed a ban on alcohol and made it illegal to produce or imbibe alcohol. That law drove people underground and produced a market for it, the black market. People were dieing from alcohol and turf wars. Money was being made but the goverment was not making a penny. They appealed prohibition and the party started for everyone people were drinking and the goverment was making money. Shortly after the party died down and alcohol soon became as common as water. Yes you have people who have vices that can not handle or ingest alcohol and that’s an addiction. Not everyone drinks, some people don’t use it. Some use it socially. The same thing can be said for CDS.
While some argue that all CDS should be allowed, I have not really seen any evidence to lead me to believe that all cds usage should not be a criminal offence.
Lets say the government went and decriminalized all CDS. All CDS is lab made and avail for use.
Is everyone going to go and use a CDS? Answer, NO. Education and family values are enough to keep children to keep the majority of children and adults from using or experimenting. We educate and educate children to not use dru gs or alcohol while they are in school, does that stop them? NO some kids are going to use, try and experiment. That’s the way it is. The more you bad mouth “X” the more the kids are going to want to see what it is.
Another example of blocking kids from exposure. Ever go to Europe? Alcohol and s-x are so prevalent that I was shocked but to the kids alcohol and s-x were no big deal to them. Women walked around with barley nothing on and people were not even fazed by it.
As a country we are so excepting of certain thing and life styles but something that’s a DRUG we are aghast by it.
I could go on and on but im not since its pointless.
1 point to make relating to this alcohol is legal and that isn't a big deal.
How many people die in drunk driving accidents? around 15 to 20 thousand a year? I may be a bit jaded since I'm in the 18-25 age bracket so I may see it more, but binge drinking is a common place.
This whole the "attraction to the forbidden" argument. Just doesn't hold water. Mainly because you're dealing with something that is addictive. Where more and more are required for the same results. If you've ever been addicted to anything you'd understand.
When dipping was new and forbidden I dipped a couple cans a week. When I quit I was dipping 2 cans a day.
That being said, I've worked in rehabilitating recovering drug addicts, alcoholics ect. So I'm a bit more repulsed than most when it comes to controlled substances.
