That isn't a straw man mate, the but about the crack epidemic in america can be called a straw man but not this one
Possessing weed, should not be a crime, we can all agree there right?
With random stop and search, the police can pull YOU aside at any time for no reason, and search you. Maybe on a trip back from the grow shop? Maybe after a session with friends? Maybe walking the dog with a smoke, when ever!
Now, most of us here are growers, so if we were randomly searched, and the police found weed, or anything to do with growing, that would give them the right to search YOUR home. and they will find weed there. Then you get prosecuted. You did nothing wrong in the first place to get searched, the police just thought it was your turn.
Right now, we can tell the police to pretty much fuck off! why you want to search me, ive done nothing wrong, I WILL NOT GIVE THAT RIGHT AWAY!! lol
Instead of searching random people and violating our rights, why not actually prosecute the people who commit knife crime properly? Stronger sentencing and better education towards the consequences of carrying a knife would be the first path to take.
