ive talked to an actual uniform cop at my last job, we were both sneakin in a smoke behind a school, yes a school because neither of our jobs allow us to smoke in the “public eye”. we started shooting the shit about laws, whats real, whats not and i will never forget what he said…
on the topic of legal age (sexual)… “your father can leave your mother and start fucking a 14 year old girl and theres nothing anybody can do about it”
on the topic of how you hear about murderers only doing like 5 yrs in jail… “in Canada you will NEVER serve more than 1/3 of your sentence unless its a crime of special interest such as a serial killer, serial rapist, hate crimes, contract killing, 1st degree (planned). and since 2nd degree murder in canada is a 10-15 year sentace you often see guys getting out even sooner than 5 years because everyday you sit in jail waiting for trial counts as 2 days served towards your sentancing”.
on the topic of marijuana i asked “so what is it legal now or somethin”?.. he said “ahhhh weird topic, its not “legal” but your not really doing time unless your growing it or bringing it into the country. if i pull you over and u got a bag(1oz) of dope on you im going to take it from you and give you a ticket. if i find a garbage bag full, and a scale, and alot of cash, your getting arrested. oh and driving stoned counts as driving drunk now”… and he laughed.
ya ya, i dont have a link or proof but thats what was told to me, and i’ll never forget it. you guys can debate all you want about decriminalization
