What do you think about partying with rich people and calling the cops on them when you see illicit drug use?
-
Kinda fucking stupid how the war on drugs disproportionately affects poor people because poor people don't always have the means to do their drugs in private or "acceptable" settings.
It would be a good dose of karma if the kids from rich families who can do drugs without impunity had to suddenly face criminal charges like a poor person.
Maybe calling the cops isn't even necessary (they probably won't even show up, because cops). We could just record them doing drugs and submit that as evidence.
Cops won't move for some person using illegal drug in a private party

Dozens of countries have legalized weed in the last decade and I don't remember any rich people being inconvenienced by weed laws.
and I don’t remember any rich people being inconvenienced by weed laws.
How would you know? Do you keep up with this information?

Because I was hardly inconvenienced by the weed laws and I'm not rich.

Drug laws are evil and must not be acknowledged as legitimate no matter how much you hate some people

Okay, nice anecdote.

Those some people pay for the politicians that perpetuate the war on drugs because it doesn't affect them personally.

If they can get away with it
What about the people who don't get away with it?

Yes... so the laws against drugs aren't affecting the people in power that can change them.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Exactly. So waiting until rich people are "inconvenienced" is pointless. They won't be.
They don't get away with it because some petty kid isn't narcing on them, they get away with it because money buys legal outcomes.

That's fine, you weren't adding a lot of value anyway.

Ahh, one more thing before I block you.
You were just wasting my time with nonsense and clearly couldn't follow a basic conversation. I'm not continuing the discussion because you are not worth my time.
Goodbye now.

The only party i'll have with rich is when the third participent is a Guillotine for them

Nothing would be done about it
I think you're right. Even if the police did come out, the chances of arrest; charges being made and then; prosecution is slim if they 1) are rich enough that the police decide to NFA it due to internal politics, 2) the police deciding to NFA in case the person is friends, or perceived to be friends with city/council officials, or 3) have a half descent lawyer / barrister firm they have on retention.
As one copper one said to me: "yea, it's shit. But what ya' gonna do?"

You don't? Because all the people I knew queuing up to get "medical" marijuana cards had a lot more disposable income than the median.

Using state violence as a weapon against those you dislike is always wrong, no matter how hilariously ironic it would be.
