POLICE ENFORCE THE LAWS

I'd like to remind readers the police are supposed to enforce the
laws, not set them. ("Grass users in for pot luck," Sept. 6.) The
Canadian Police Association lobbying to keep pot prohibition in place
is more of a "back-to-school gift for drug pushers" than the Senate
report, since the black market is what fuels organized crime.
Sometimes I worry that police and bikers have infiltrated each other
so deeply, it is hard to tell the difference between them.
