ISSUE DISTRACTS POLICE OFFICERS
As a retired police officer, I know that every hour spent looking for an
ounce under someone's front seat means another drunken driver smashing into
some innocent person.
Public safety is seriously diminished as we in law enforcement spend
millions of hours nationwide chasing a drug that, though not harmless, has
never, to my knowledge, killed anyone using it. Many of us hope the people
of Nevada will vote for increased public safety through the better use of
their police force.
