Help Fight Draconian Anti-Drug Measures
Congressman Sensenbrenner has introduced a mandatory minimum sentencing bill, which would hold accountable those who simply witness a drug transaction take place.
From the Drug Policy Alliance site:
If you "witness" certain drug offenses taking place or "learn" that they took place you would have to report the offense to law enforcement within 24 hours and provide "full assistance" in the investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of the people involved. Failure to do so would be a crime punishable by a mandatory two year prison sentence.
Here are some examples of offenses you would have to report to the police within 24 hours:
- You see someone you know pass a joint to a 20-year old college student.
- Your cousin mentions that he bought Ecstasy for some of his college friends.
- You find out that your brother, who has kids, recently bought a small amount of marijuana to share with his wife.
- Your substance-abusing daughter recently begged her boyfriend to find her some drugs even though they're both in drug treatment.
This is ridiculous, and simply must not be allowed to pass. Take action immediately!
