>>While some police will just toss a joint in the trash if they find it on someone, many (and by many, I mean most) will not.
Fair enough- once somebody reaches the point of being searched, they risk arrest if a joint is found on them.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
