Flint, MI Officials Call Decrim Vote “Symbolic,” Plan To Continue Marijuana Arrests
(420Times) Flint police and Michigan State Police troopers that patrol the city plan to continue to arrest people for marijuana possession, despite a vote on a city ballot proposal to decriminalize marijuana in some cases.
About 57 percent of ballots counted as of Wednesday were in favor of the proposal to decriminalize possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by those 19 or older, The Flint Journal reported. The city said in a statement, however, that the proposal is “symbolic in nature” as officials defer to state and federal law.
“We’re still police officers and we’re still empowered to enforce the laws of the state of Michigan and the United States,” said Flint police Chief Alvern Lock. “We’re still going to enforce the laws as we’ve been enforcing them.”
