Police Traffic Searches Dropped 70 Percent In Vermont City After Marijuana Legalization
The largest local police force in Vermont is reporting that traffic searches are down 70 percent since the state legalized marijuana.
A report from the Burlington Police Department set to be released next week will detail the declining searches, which law enforcement officials are attributing to the fact that possession of up to one ounce of cannabis became legal for adults last summer. According to a report from WCAX, the data shows that traffic searches plummeted for individuals of all races.
