Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis
Lembot_0003@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agosave money for the police
No! It doesn’t work that way. Like at all. Legalizing will make police tremendously poorer. Found a joint? Got a few pounds in the pocket. The owner is released. Until next time. Next joint. And next banknote. Infinite money! Where the fuck would police get money if weed and prostitution would be legalized?

So what you’re saying, what you said is even less relevant? Corruption, which is what bribes are, aren’t a good thing, and doesn’t help anyone but the corrupt, greedy cops who accept them.
