[schifferbrainz]

LEAP another distractionary organization.

[hgeny]

Looks like we have a don't ask, don't tell type problem here. You can think marijuana prohibiton is wrong but don't voice it.

[rory997]

we may have our differences - but we all want the same thing.

I still support LEAP

Law Enforcement Against Protest

[downlowfunk]

Medical Marijuana Laws are a scam. No Taxes no laws should ever be enacted against Hemp or Marijuana. All Hemp and Marijuana tax laws must be repealed. LEAP supports legalize and tax it (PUKE). Safer supports Legalize and tax it (PUKE) Most hippies support legalize and tax it (PUKE) Even Mark and Ian feel there should be some taxes on Marijuana (PUKE). We must end this false belief. the Colorado punks are all being taught its ok to tax Marijuana. (Double PUKE)

[theguyfromplt]

Half the times I was arrested, the officer (once we were at the jail) had to LOOK UP THE LAW in a book to know what to book me for! Now, THAT should signify a HUGE problem...

[NoLongerFooled]

He shouldn't have said he wasn't going to enforce those laws - why would you say that if you just got your job back?

[DJBudGreen]

Until NH has a MM system in place that addresses SPECIFICALLY how MM patients are to be treated by state LEO's then they are, technically, committing a crime. Bradley should have been willing to work within the system for change. Stating that you will not enforce the law as a peace officer is a dereliction of duty

LEAP does not endorse breaking the law.

PEACE

[DeraJa]

Obedience, the supreme virtue of statists.

[SSILENTNATION]

In the end it doesn't even matter - I just learned he resigned on Monday anyways....he isn't even a cop anymore. LOL.

[SSILENTNATION]

I think, Ridley, what this man is trying to say - is that regardless of what one person feels about one law or another - we can't have police officers making the individual decision to outright swear to NOT enforce particular laws. Jardis should have kept his mouth shut - and just used skillful discretion - instead of blatantly saying he wouldn't enforce law, since that is his job to do. This will, no doubt be dissected nine ways to Sunday - but I think you get my drift.

nuts

[christianpatriot125]

I thought his argument, as you reported it, for refusing to arrest people for drug offenses was a bit tenuous. If the wording of the constitution made prohibition of narcotics clearly illegal I would have a different attitude.

It might have been better had he said that he would use his discretion not to enforce anti-drug statutes. Thus he could, (perhaps under protest) follow direct orders on a case by case basis.

I'm not against prohibition, but am for obeying the law, (i.e. constitution).

*christianpatriot125 "

The tenth amendment says if the constitution doesn't clearly give the feds the power they aren't allowed to do it.

Your argument is the exact opposite of what the founding fathers meant the constitution to do, clearly define what the feds can do and prevent them from doing anything else.

[christianpatriot125]

Buffalo122333

I don't disagree with your basic position.

However, it was the NH constitution that was quoted in the Ridley Report where the policeman's argument for refusing to arrest people on narcotic charges was given. My comment did not refer solely to the US constitution, but principally to the NH constitution upon which the policeman in question was largely grounding his position.

NH was a free nation at the US foundation & remains free to prescribe or permit within NH law, doesn't it?

[Buffalo122333]

@christianpatriot125

I believe the U.S. Constitution does not stop states from passing laws to control substances.

I don't know what the NH Constitution says , I spend too much time trying to learn about the national constitution to start on a state one.

However if a constitution does forbid the state from doing something any laws passed that do that thing do not actually have the force of law.

Damn, I'm starting to talk like a lawyer.

[christianpatriot125]

I take back "Not on the whole a US federal issue perhaps."

The US Constitution forbids the US government and legislature from doing all sorts of thing!

[underdogmilitia]

In the first min of the video I was expecting them to say the cop was expelled for arresting people for drugs.

But it was the opposite!

I guess this is the end of LEAP.

[FlowCell]

Jack Cole needs to resign. This is just as bad as when Keith Stroup narked on a Senator who was his political enemy.

[josda1000]

Honestly Ridley, this may be one of the most important stories you've covered in a long time, IMO. Keep up the good work.

[truthadvocate]

When the laws are unethical, breaking them is ethical.

There are far more than 100,000 pages of laws. It's impossible to enforce them all. & impossible to follow them all. The result of a coercive monopoly passing laws without weighing the cost & benefits to those forced to pay for them, has resulted in a system out of control. Too complex for a person to make any rational sense of it. With mercenaries ordered to violate laws all the time. By passing countless laws we've achieved chaos.

[jbudd]

@truthadvocate seriously pretty soon I wont be able to fart in public without the fear of getting arrested

[highwaysong007]

He IS enforcing the law...just not all of the statutes and acts and CORPORATE POLICIES (many of which ARE unlawful) Therefore... He IS upholding his oath to uphold the law. Cole's actions hopefully will have the effect of publicly bringing this to light... hopefully that is to shine a big light on the difference between 'legal' and 'lawful'.

[klaptongroovemaster]

I just lost WAY more respect for their organization than Jardis ever did.

Nazi Officers Against Jew Burning (NPAJB) does NOT endorse the non-burning of Jews while der Fuhrer is in charge. We want our officers to beg der Fuhrer to change his mind during their off duty hours. Therefore, Officer Has-a-conscience, you are officially expelled from NOAGB.

Sincerely, Herr Arschlok "Just Following Orders" Buttmuncher.

You beat me to it.
