Position Statement: A large percentage of crimes and the cost to taxpayers related to these crimes is due to drug abuse.
Description of Position:
|
If we could reduce the illegal use of drugs then the cost to taxpayers in life, property and court/prision cost would decrease considerably. The legal system has tied the hands of our law enforcement agencies making it difficult to protect society. We can t even defend ourselves when provoked in many cases. IT'S TIME to give our law enforcement officers the freedom to catch criminals and for the court system to prosecute them. By increasing the penalty for the transportation, manufacturer and distribution of drugs we can reduce criminal activity. Released drug abusers should be monitored for drug activity on a regular basis. |
