LAPD is using plainclothes detectives to target people…. smoking weed. Considering the LAPD claims they’re understaffed, is this a good use of their personnel?

They’re trafficking underage girls a couple miles away, but let’s dedicate cops to target weed smoking.

So fentanyl and crack is ok in broad daylight but they draw the line at weed? This place is clown show.

They can get money from weed smokers but not fentanyl smokers, so guess who they target.

Weed is legal these clowns need to fuck off and do their job

Wild. I haven’t seen them write tickets for smoking in public in over 20 years.

This is the dumbest shit ever , this is exactly why Karen Bass needs to be out. Random people smoking weed in public is the absolutely last thing you should be dedicating police officers for.

They have photographs? How would a photo determine if its weed or tobacco smh Karen Basura troops back at it again

They’re specifically going after people that they can rob. If you’re homeless, they already accomplished their goal with them.

You can find dudes smoking speed and tweaking out around Hollywood and they're worried about weed?

Dont smoke anything near me. Suck your pot gummies or something i dont want to breathe your dope

What the fuck kind of twilight zone shit is this!?! They are doing drugs and smuggling children but only go after a weed smoker? Make this shit make sense

But go ahead and do fentanyl and meth in broad daylight... the city will even provide needles and foil.

lol the more useless nonsense they do the less people they can really hurt ig, harm reduction?? maybe an interesting political stunt before the election decision

I walked by a group of cops with a tall can last weekend they didn’t give a shit 😆

This has gotta be a joke. Such bigger issues than people smoking kush in public. Ridiculous

I'm going to start putting cats in trees and calling lapd

I swear to God, I seen two gay bums having sex under a ripped up sheet with 100 foot of where this video takes place and countless people smoking meth and fentanyl. They need to get their fucking priorities right

You’re gonna have to arrest me bro, or show me evidence. I’m walking away, I walk Hollywood blvd weekly and people shoot up on the street. You’re not gonna give me a ticket for smoking weed

No, I don't think we should pay @lapdcommission to do anything with weed. It's outrageous.

They should stop homeless ladies from dry humping stuffed Teddy Bears and screaming at the top of their lungs on Hollywood Blvd because that is what I saw last time I was out there.

They gotta justify all that overtime after manufacturing a crisis of understaff. Would they tackle open drug markets? Nah, that’s too hard to even try. Now they can go back to their car and scroll for an hour until the find another victim

Seems like a pretty reasonable use of personnel to me. You can support legalization without pretending public street smoking should just be ignored. Common decency still matters — and L.A. could use more of it.

It's the rhetoric from grifting scumbags like @esaagar that leads to this.

People who smoke weed are easier to deal with than people smoking meth. That's why they choose enforcement against stoners.

Weed is legal in California.

@VictoryGin2 Police the poor but let the Rich do whatever they want, and that includes way worse shit than smoking an herb. The world is going to shit and the smoking of marijuana has nothing to do with that.

No, this is totally fine. Enforce the laws that are on the books. We can hold the police and our government accountable for a ton of crap. This isn’t one of them.

@SubxNews I don’t even feel sorry for yall anymore, you keep voting in your own demise

WHEN THE FUCK COULD YOU NOT SMOKE IN LA???? Ive seen crack heads smoke crack in front of cops... the fuck is this

@Apoloniaone So fckn dumb they do it cause of tourist plus income through tickets .. weed is legalized in California especially la but can’t walk down the street drinking beer either so h ow do they know it’s weed ? Lol

How on earth are they putting resources towards catching a guy smoking weed crossing the street? While all over LA people are hanging over in a near death, fentanyl haze, injecting hard drugs, being zombies. Jesus the priorities are so upside down here I thought this was an ad for Spencer Pratt clowning on Mayor Bass litany of failures

just go to court and ask for the cop they won’t be able to prove it. They have no evidence that you were actually smoking weed. They don’t know if you pre-roll your own cigarettes.

@SubxNews But smoking cigarettes in public is perfectly fine smh

It’s starting to get too hot to sit in their cars in the parking lot, they going out for walks looking for trouble now

Fucking disgrace of a city. You have junkies in every corner of Hollywood smoking crack and fentanyl but they’re wasting all the money to bust people smoking weed. What a mother fucking joke. That’s what happens when you have that weirdo raisin looking cunt as a mayor.
