Hell pussy, you might as well just move to the Bay Area where cops completely ignore it.
Meanwhile, in Braintree on Monday night, police spotted a suspected perv smoking pot in a car filled with coils of rope, a pair of handcuffs and bottles of NyQuil.
perv?!

I think someone awaiting trial for child molestation out cruising the streets with rope, handcuffs, and bottles of Nyquil with which to drug his next playmate would qualify as a perv.

• In East Boston, four teens spotted in a “smoke-filled vehicle” unabashedly told a cop they were “just smoking marijuana.”
Teens, in a vehicle no less? Not OK.

• In Arlington, a public works employee was cited by the local police chief for smoking a pot pipe as he stood next to his town-issued tractor.
Even less ok - Heavy equipment does not mix with the pot pipe

“If we send an officer to court, it’s going to cost us $250,” Upton said. “We’re not getting a lot of (citations) written.”
Right there you have the reason for "getting tough on drugs". Once you remove the states ability to make fine money from persecuting drug users, the whole house of cards comes falling down. They can no longer get money from fines, increased officer head count, court and prison budgets, etc. So what's the use?

Regardless, when legalized pot should and will be treated like alcohol. The teens and the city worker are definitely not the outcome anybody wants...

If the keys were in the ignition, I would think that the teen-ager in the driver's seat could have at least been arrested for Driving While Impaired. The Public Works employee could have been (And, likely was even though there is no mention of it in the story) re-ported to his supervisor, and fired.
