How much do you think a lawsuit for violation of a person's first amendment right to free speech would cost this city for the actions of a city department head using his official position to silence free speech of employees would cost the city?
What will the chief do after October when he will be barred by state law from prohibiting his employees from smoking legally prescribed pot on the job? As the law is written, so long as the officer has a doctor's script for it, he may not be fired no matter how much spliff he smokes--provided he pulls over to the curb while he smokes it in his cruiser--because it can't be smoked in a "moving" vehicle. I guess the radicals in our legislature didn't think to give cops a blanket exception to the pot law like they did for giving cops the unlimited power to talk and text on cell phones while they drive their cruisers.
