Despite hundreds of millions in proposed budget cuts for public services, Bloomberg continues to waste $75 million each year arresting mostly Black and Latino New Yorkers for possessing small amounts of marijuana, even though white youth have the highest rate of marijuana use. Moreover, current law says marijuana possession is only an arrestable offense if it is in plain view. Stop, question and frisk tactics, and the illegal searches that often follow, are driving these arrests.
