It seems some people in the public think they know more about the law than those trained to enforce the law do.
Well, according to state statutes, marijuana is still illegal and if you possess it, especially 62 grams of it, well, I’m no lawyer, but that’s breaking the law, and when the acrid smell comes wafting through crack and crevice, nook and cranny, you might as well place a sign on the door that says, “Arrest me now.”
Maybe those who condemn law enforcement for doing their jobs would like a free pass, a Be Nice to Criminals Week, if you will.
I will start the lobbying.
Yes, you read correctly. It's only fair, in this land of freedom and opportunity, to give criminals a fair shake. After all, they're people, too.
With Be Kind to Criminals Week come some rules of engagement.
Number 1: Law enforcement shall call a criminal 10 minutes before arrival.
This will allow the criminal equal opportunity to hide everything — stash and cash, scrap metal and stereos, dishwashers and lawn tractors — and appear like the rest of the law abiding citizens, or high tail it for the hills to stay with an unsuspecting relative who believes you’re the good son or daughter when you’re really on the lam. It's only fair because it's Be Nice To Criminals Week.
Number 2: Give each criminal a one free crime card.
Everyone makes an error in life, even it’s just sitting beside an abandoned warehouse clearing your head or shooting at your cousin. It's not their fault they're new at the business and aren't good at being sneaky or just haven’t seemed to learn that they aren’t that smart because, and I don’t know the odds, even the good criminals get caught. Prisons are full of smart people. They deserve the opportunity because it's Be Nice To Criminals Week.
Number 3: Remove theft from our penal code. Theft is only a part of wealth distribution. We all need to do our part. We cannot allow some to have more than others. We cannot let those who work hard for the money enjoy it. It's just not fair because, after all, it's Be Nice To Criminals Week.
In this time of suffering commerce and economy, we need to support all new business because we are definitely supporting the criminals whether we want to or not. Just ask the latest robbery victim or the woman who did nothing to her boyfriend but got her jaw broken.
Crime is an up and coming opportunity, with the chance to employ many, especially in the prison woodworking or license plate shop. Freedom, opportunity, equality is what our country stands for and there are those who believe the ones who violate our rights should be entitled to them, too. OK, since it’s National Be Kind to Criminals Week, I’ll bite, and let’s see how those who complain the loudest like it when their car is broken into — William Eleczko
