A pilot program testing AI-powered weapons scanners inside some New York City subway stations this summer did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times.

      Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.

        It’s gonna be fun when it’s legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.

        Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It’s going to be bullshit.

            “I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior,” she said. “Actually, this is not a new position for me. I have felt for a long time we need to legalize it, so that’s where I am on that.”

            As San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris oversaw over 1,900 convictions for cannabis violations, the San Jose Mercury News reported in 2019. Still, only a small number of those people ended up in prison.

            Harris “put over fifteen hundred people in jail for marijuana violations”

            As attorney general, Kamala Harris would not have personally prosecuted drug cases. Local district attorneys would generally prosecute such cases so to say Harris “put … people in jail” as state attorney general is not accurate.

                    When it’s a first past the pole and electoral college game to get elected, discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

                    Same as encouraging 3rd party voting in a system where they are mathematically prevented from winning.

                    You either don’t understand the system we have, or you’re a disingenuous troll for Trump.

        That is up to the state’s attorney general whether to go after drug offense or not

          I guess tell that to the federal agents seizing legal cannabis.
