Prosecutor To Drop All Seattle Marijuana Tickets



Seattle will drop all marijuana tickets issued through the first seven months of 2014, says the city's prosecutor. They were almost all issued by one officer who disagrees with legalization.

In a briefing to the City Council on Monday, City Attorney Pete Holmes says he is moving to dismiss approximately 100 tickets issued by the Seattle Police Department between Jan. 1 and July 31. His office also said it would be seeking a refund for 22 people who have already paid their $27 ticket.

Through the first six months of the year, a single officer wrote about 80 percent of the tickets, writing on one that he considered the pot law "silly." The officer was temporarily reassigned, and the department's Office of Professional Accountability is investigating.

And I wonder what other tickets he's written for whatever he disagrees with.
