Do you have a permit for that ziplock baggie?
Written by Lisa
Wednesday, 05 March 2008
This is arguably the stupidest story I have come across all day and a perfect example of the twisted logic employed by the majority of those who are sadly paid to determine the fate of their constituents. A city council committee in Chicago is recommending a ban on small plastic bags because they are used by drug dealers to traffic small quantities of their wares. As if the drug dealers won't simply obtain their supply of small bags on the black market, like they do their illegal drugs, or upgrade to a larger bag. No word on the strategy in the works to deal with large scale traffickers. The only losers here will be the merchants who sell small bags, who are essentially being treated as illicit dealers themselves. Lt. Kevin Navarro, commanding officer of the Chicago Police Department's Narcotics and Gang Unit, said the ordinance will be an "important tool" to go after grocery stores, health food stores and other businesses. The bags are used by the thousand to sell small quantities of drugs at $10 or $20 a bag. Navarro referred to the plastic bags as "Marketing 101 for the drug dealers." Many of them have symbols, allowing drug users to ask for "Superman" or "Blue Dolphin" instead of the drug itself, he said. Prior to the final vote, Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) expressed concern about arresting innocent people. He noted that extra buttons that come with suits, shirts and blouses -- and jewelry that's been repaired -- come in similar plastic bags. Burnett was reassured by language that states "one reasonably should know that such items will be or are being used" to package, transfer, deliver or store a controlled substance. Violators would be punished by a $1,500 fine.Cross-posted at The London Fog

The Yanks must like losing wars, because the "War on Drugs" has caused so much misery and suffering in that Country, it's hard to tell the allegedly "good guys" from the bad guys. Some are in jail, and some should be, like the shithead who dreamed up this one. This brilliance must have been conceived by some born again retard, who'll do anything to thwart the "dope fiends". Great, except the dope fiends are their kids, and like most kids who do dope, will grow out of using the shit, and get on with their lives. Some will even become Republicans, like the coke snorting chap in the White House as we speak. Yes, some will fall by the wayside, natural selection,maybe? We can't continue to pursue laws in anticipation of the worst case, using this logic results in other speciousness, like "Gun Control" and HRC's. Not to mention the many small businesses who'll be financially battered by fines for selling baggies. Great way to treat hard working people. I'm a big fan of ideas that work, but once again, another lawmaker proves that more of the best and brightest go into drug dealing than into politics.

Well in Kanadar if you wave that plastic baggy around in public in "a threatening and offensive manner" it is deemed a "weapon" in law and if you throw it and hit someone with it, it is assault with a weapon. We got all the bases covered..we're just so damn safe it isn't funny

Well we'll have to report that Don, the only thing/people who have a right to abuse you is the nanny state.

Purchases of drugs are often made on sidewalks - if we imprison the guys who built the sidewalks, we'll win the war on drugs.
