    This bill says don’t trust law enforcement. The drug dealers have been given a bad rap. Almost every criminal says that they are innocent. Why increase the evidentiary standard for a drug offense? Again she is saying that we can’t trust law enforcement. Also, why does she want a racial profile of the arrest. Sounds like she is protecting her black neighborhoods from law enforcement pressure and trying to back it up with the protection of withholding of fed dollars.

    This is an interesting approach to the problems associated with this ineffective war on drugs, but I don’t see it as solving anything; rather, it encourages illegal behavior.

    Having no evidence other than a testimony from law enforcement is unconstitutional. A life-time felony without evidence is granting way too much power to the state. I agree that including the racial component is a mistake, but the issue that seems to be growing is the arbitrary power of the state of the citizenry.

    this bill is a joke and a slap in the face to all who are fed up with how stupid the war on drugs is. The only law that will stop the drug problem is the death sentance for those that make the drugs and those who sell and those who transport the drugs. This will make the stakes to high for people to be in the buisiness and no one can tell me that there would be more deaths than right now better that the drug dealers die than our kids. the law should allow for a fair and speedy trial then if guilty with no doubt, they should go from court room out to be hanged until dead for all public to see.

    The war on drugs is a fraud and a failure.
