MA Attorney General Martha "Uh Uh" Coakley on CORI Reform

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wYg5yNVFXM

Check it, Jim Braude of 96.9 FM- Boston great job, asking a real question that effects working taxpayers. Martha Coakley the Massachusetts AG, shows she has no clue about how CORI (messed up, mismanaged, MA criminal datebase with lots of pot busts for a joint like me!) harms workers. I got arrested for one joint. What I found out is that it didn't matter for me what I did in court, the arrest was likely going to show up on my CORI forever no matter the disposition.

Innocent, continued without a finding, guilty, the arrest would show no matter what. It really didn't matter the outcome in regards to future work, the mark was there and will be forever, unless I wait ten years and find a judge to pardon me or some BS....Can you believe that? I need to kiss the ass of crooks that have criminally hurt me to get my record clean for nothing???

But then having it sealed could be even worse because the employer could see that I had been arrested but they wouldn't know the reason which was for 1 joint worths of medical cannabis.

Which means they would probably think I was a violent criminal or pedophile.

The only people that are really advised to try to seal criminal complaints are to cover real bad complaints, convictions, crimes?


You don't do that for one joint, sealing is worse than being, "Arrested for marihuana possession, continued without a finding, not guilty"?


The system is MA is stacked so that a first arrest for marijuana is shuffled out without a trial in most cases. Because for most working class people caught with a joint, the damage of having the arrest being reported on the CORI is done, without a trial or any recourse. To me, that is criminal!

AG Martha Coakley, you "uh haha'd" like you don't know and then passed on bad misleading answers and Jim Braude and the audience heard it. He called you on it.

The way the Government and Corporations use the CORI is criminal! Governor Patrick isn't doing anything for marijuana reform but he is right on CORI reform. He just needs to be more vocal and focus on it. Why isn't he touring MA about it!? Roxbury, Dorchester, Springfield, Lowell, New Bedford, Lawrence, Pittsfield, Holyoke, Worcester, people need jobs not to be penalized for life because of one joint 15 years ago.

It's tough, I know. I don't like the fact that she lies.

The best thing she could have done for Scott Brown was to campaign!

Here are some quotes of hers from the "campaign trail"

"I'm not going to stand outside Fenway Park in the cold"

"Kurt Schilling is a Yankees fan"

"There are no terrorists in Afganistan"

"We need to get taxes up."

"I support Medical marijuana with a doctors presrciption". (Because of MJ sched 1 status, it can only be "reccomended".)

[alexiproductions]

i cant even listen to her voice.

[GOPeconomyROCKZ]

Brown won? the abortion loving jobs bill voting independent from MA? terrific! I love Brownie! he's my man, he can do it yes he can!

I grew up dirt poor on a reservation with two alcoholic parents that were very abusive. I fell for the progressive/liberal line and it got me absolutly nowhere. When I decided that only I was responsible for my happiness and success, I completed my PHD and was able to get out of a cycle of poverty. I have never heard any conservative say what you claim they say unless the person had to hear it. A lot of people on the dole are lazy, some are not.
