This will be before or after they pull over motorists in the narrowest part of Littlemoor Road?

This will not reduce cannabis use at all. This is more likely to cause a greater loss of respect between the youth and the police.

The Police should be targeting crime, working with the kids. not cracking down on cannabis, a harmless plant that the government brainwashes mindless folls like yourself into seeing it as bad and justifying spending OUR money on silly operations.
Seen a few Police Documentaries and the amount of times you'll see 20+ officers busting a house to only find a small quantity of cannibis. but they still sayt job well done!
Fools!
