      Chief Con Andy Cooke Retweeted Danny Shaw

      I disagree. The guidance in my view is wrong and the law does not preclude it . Smell of cannabis is sufficient to stop search and I will continue to encourage my Officers to use it particularly on those criminals who are engaged in serious and organised crime.https://twitter.com/DannyShawBBC/status/940488066342576128 …

      Police urged not to stop & search people for drugs simply because they smell cannabis. This is from a @HMICFRS report on police legitimacy

      Dear Andy. Those involved in serious & organised drug dealing never touch the stuff or get anywhere need it. What are you talking about? I agree smell of cannabis provides reasonable suspicion for stop/search but is usually a waste of time - likely to be user not a dealer.

      Brian you are wrong. Regularly used and recovered from our SOC groups both in quantity and for personal use. Impaired driving, cannabis market control leading to firearm discharges and significant violence. Proactive use of stop search on these criminals is essential.

      Well if I’m wrong so are College of Policing, an increasing number of your Chief Constable colleagues & Police & Crime Commissioners. Perhaps a more reasonable response might be to say there is a difference of professional opinion on these issues. The “war on drugs” has failed.

      Brian apologies I didn't mean to come across as rude I was tweeting on a short timescale. If the war on drugs has failed should we just give up then? Stop search is a legitimate power that significantly disrupts gangs and their violent activity and should not be diminished.

      No worries. Demand is insatiable, restricting supply is only possible if distribution from source to street is taken out. Possible with massive injection of resources but impracticable. Decriminalisation & regulation, taking supply out of hands of criminals, only viable option.

      Then lobby the government... Police are here to enforce existing law (making drugs illegal to possess) and not to appease your ideologies. Completely legitimate tactic as is breathalysing drivers that smell of alcohol.

      When a serving police officer I successfully changed national police practice in relation to the policing of cannabis so street warnings can now be given. Law already allows fixed penalty for cannabis instead of criminal record. Don’t argue stop/search not legal just pointless

          I have to agree. The courts don’t take possession seriously.
