Wooldridge LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: As a retired police detective, it was embarrassing to read how my colleagues of the California Narcotics Officers employ a lobbyist to protect their jobs, lucrative overtime and toys bought by the taxpayers to chase California patients. Meanwhile the owners of tens of thousands of personal computers in California containing child porn and child rape videos sleep soundly, knowing police officers value a marijuana bust more that arresting them. How sad. Officer Howard J. Wooldridge (retired) Education Specialist, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (www.leap.cc) Washington, DC - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
