So what if it was pot? What a waste of police time and salary. If they have that much time on their hands, then lay some officers off. Most cops are WAY overpaid anyway, and we have FAR too much reverence for them.

The median annual Police Patrol Officer salary is $52,690, as of June 24, 2016, with a range usually between $43,886-$62,182, however this can vary widely depending on a variety of factors.
