Vancouver Police Raid Dana Larsen's Magic Mushroom Shops in Vancouver
Just a moment...
The police in Vancouver seem to have an anti-drug stick up their ass lately...
Not only that, but going after the cleanest sources and largely ignoring the dirtier ones. Quite counterproductive.
Counterproductive is dependent on your objectives...
Want to lazily flex your power and bully people you don't like? Perfect.
Want to make society better safer and freer? Not so much.
No business license selling right now illegal drugs of course it was going to happen.
They will always have, they're cops. What changed is the friendlier political climate towards letting it show. With Ken Sim and the ABC having the council in hand, this is a second order effect. That's the "tough on crime" supposed to solve the shortcomings of previous administrations.
OTOH, traffic enforcement cameras get the "let's study this" death sentence, like bike infrastructure tends to have. When the matter is speeding or running red lights, the "tough on crime" energy disappears.
Spending money on infrastructure to prevent pedestrian and cyclist deaths? I sleep.
Spending money on raiding storefronts that sell clean drugs? REAL SHIT
Gotta justify hiring all those cops after the election.
