And in Chicago decrim news... There remains a lack of progress. We started this site to watch news on proposed marijuana decriminalization in Chicago, but there just hasn't been much of it lately. The Chicago Sun-Times breaks that trend today, but its story, titled "Tickets for pot smokers? Sgts. don't think so," isn't too encouraging.
It doesn't mean much, since the sergeants were just engaged in a training exercise.
The sergeants, whose study was part of a training exercise to groom them for promotion, suggested that officers fill out their arrest and evidence reports in their squad cars -- using computerized forms -- instead of doing the paperwork in the station, Cline said.
Police squadrols could transport the offenders to the station, keeping the arresting officers on the street, the study said.
Same old injustice, dealt with in a slightly more efficient manner.
Still waiting...
