Drug Possession: One Guy. 14 Arrests. No Help.
Drug Possession: One guy. 14 arrests. No help.
David Moss was arrested 14 times for drug possession and never offered treatment. He finally got clean on his own. How much taxpayer money got wasted arresting this guy instead of helping him fix the problem? Can California afford to keep spending so much on criminal justice while getting so little in return? This video was produced in partnership with the ACLU of California.

Blind. Forcibly trying? to prevent adults from taking drugs is the terrorist extreme of “babysitting”; your snide comment immediately contradicts itself!
If you have a few minutes, try to discover what “Prisoner Bonds” are. And, if you have more than a few minutes, look up “Secured Party Creditor”. When you are charged in a court of law, you are charged as a Corporation, not as an individual. That is why your name appears in all CAPS.? It is not you that is being charged, but your “Strawman”. Respect from an autodidact member of the lumpenproletariat in Michigan. Power to the Peaceful.
Private prisons are the scourge of humanity. As long as people can be locked up for profit,? the problems will only intensify. The prison industrial complex marches on, oblivious to the suffering and corruption.
Send this to the Prime Minister of? Canada. His name is Stephan Harper.
Have a gooder?
Preventive education would be a lot? more effective than mandated treatment.
I’ve a better idea … OVERTURN PROHIBITION. It didn’t work for alcohol, and it’s NOT WORKING for? ANY OTHER drugs being used for recrreation.
We can agree that they shouldn’t rot in jail where we will disagree is treatment. I’m not saying it will work for every person, but at least were a society that lends a helping hand to those who seek it. Judging by the state of our government now, drugs…even harmless ones like Marijuana will not be decriminalized or legal? anytime soon nation wide. A realistic solution again is to mandate treatment and if that doesn’t work they’ll keep falling down the rabbit hole, but help will be there.
I have read your other comments and I see that your views seem compassionate in a way I would not have expected when I read your first comment. You make good points about the difficulty of mandating help? for people who do not want it. And yes “why arrest people for drug use”, an interesting idea brews. Don’t legalize drug manufacture and sale but legalize drug use…..opens up a whole new ability to help addicts without helping the factors that create addicts. Hmmmm
Good video. Alas, there is? no profit in helping people…
Sorry if I put words in your mouth….I stretched your words from arrest and jumped to conclusions. Mia culpa. I should know better to assume as it is not a solution. And I appreciate your ability to respond without mal-factor. That is effective behavior modification that will make me more conscious of what I post in the? future.
