Rangel, "Doesn't remember last New York Marijuana arrest."

10/25/2009

0 Comments

 
Recently Congressman Charles Rangel stated, "I don't remember the last time there was a marijuana arrest in New York City." However that seems really odd seeing as how there's been more than 430,000 arrest for possession of small amounts of marijuana since 1997 in NYC. 2000 resulted in over 50,000 of these arrests, and 2008 resulted in over 40,000 arrests. This is also Kind of odd because these arrests were for the possession of small amounts, less than 1 ounce, which has been decriminalized in the state of New York since 1977 with the passage of the marijuana reform act. One can be given a ticket, and fined $100 for posession of marijuana, but not fingerprinted and jailed. New York State has formally and legally decriminalized possession of marijuana.
