my brother was poin ting out an interesting thing that i ddidnt even think about until he metioned it he says if you know someone is selling weed and you dont say anything you can get 2 years in prison but if you call the cops and they happen t o be bloods or crips selling it you can get tthe death penalty for reporting them.(wich is something they dont force you to do with crack dealers because they know for sure you will get killed before it goes to trial) so your screwed no matter what if this passes.

Wonderful. Now you are expected to have read and understood these sections and are under penalty of prosecution if you fail to comply. Everyone is compelled to be an unpaid law enforcement official. As usual, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
