It so strange to me that other places especially more tourist types of areas don't allow drinking and strolling. When we were skiing in Breckinridge, CO a few months ago the people there were happy because they could sell to go drinks because of the pandemic. They had to plaster this goofy sticker to the cup which is weird. |

That is the problem I have: the fishing expedition. That type of law enforcement needs to be reined in. There are way too many laws on the books for any one person to know and follow, which leads to every person breaking some obscure law every day. That, plus police officers looking for a "big catch" and prosecutors looking to make a name for themselves, lead to over zealous enforcement. |

....and by more I meant significant violations of law, not necessarily the minor stuff used to effect the detention. |

Pot falls under all the same laws as alcohol and tobacco meaning you can drink more places than you can puff. Smoking is banned in all restaurants and bars as well as all public spaces, including sidewalks, parks, public buildings, shopping malls except in a few designated smoking areas. There are 91 DSAs in the city. Basically if you want to have a toke you do it in the privacy of your own home.

The Liquor Licence Act says that you can consume alcohol in or on private property, a common area or a licensed premise. Common area is the hallway or an apartment building or say the front lawn of your condo property. It is an offence to consume alcohol on public property, so the street or in a park, or in a motor vehicle. The fines aren't very big (except in a motor vehicle) and you'll also get your booze seized. Having said that, it's legal to smoke a blunt anywhere you like practically, so I suspect most coppers would ignore it but please don't leave your empties on the road or in the park. I normally cautioned folks when I got them drinking where they shouldn't, unless they failed the attitude test. |

No type of policing is ever reasonable in the hood. The mere use of the word is a misnomer.

As an experienced officer, you may be able to target certain areas, neighborhoods, car types, etc., that are more likely to contain the bad guys, but you will still catch good guys, too. The bad guys don't care if you use targeted enforcement, or your gut feeling, or whatever to catch them. They are used to being caught and dealing with the system. We good guys are not used to any of that, so we are much more likely to criticize or complain about the cop's "forceful" (my word) tactics. Which is kind of why we are where we are today. The public has a pretty low opinion of law enforcement these days. It isn't all because of cops shooting "unarmed" bad guys. Or because cops botch an arrest and the suspect dies. Or because the FBI does a no-knock raid on a guy suspected of tax fraud. Those are just high-profile, rare cases. I think that most people feel intimidated whenever they have to interact with the police. I know I do. Police officers aren't friendly. They are professional and direct to the point of being short, but friendly is not part of it. Also, like you said, many cops are searching for a bigger criminal. Maybe those cops push a little harder with the verbal judo to get a suspect to slip up, which seems like the cop is being a hard-ass to the person being stopped. |
