Law Enforcement Against Prohibition
From SSDPedia
The following statement was taken from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition's website:
"Founded on March 16, 2002, LEAP is made up of current and former members of law enforcement who believe the existing drug policies have failed in their intended goals of addressing the problems of crime, drug abuse, addiction, juvenile drug use, stopping the flow of illegal drugs into this country and the internal sale and use of illegal drugs. By fighting a war on drugs the government has increased the problems of society and made them far worse. A system of regulation rather than prohibition is a less harmful, more ethical and a more effective public policy."
[edit] Mission Statement
"The mission of LEAP is to reduce the multitude of unintended harmful consequences resulting from fighting the war on drugs and to lessen the incidence of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition." (Leap.cc)
[edit] Goals
1) To educate the populace on the current problems we face because of drug abuse and the laws in place to deal with them.
2) To restore the public's perception of law enforcement, which they believe is has greatly diminished due to the failed laws set in place for drug prohibition.
