Cops Against Drug Laws (HUNGRY BEAST)

Cops are on the frontline of the War on Drugs. But here, and elsewhere around the world, they’re joining the growing chorus of experts calling to end that war. Kirsten Drysdale spoke with Norm Stamper; a member of LEAP and former Police Chief of Seattle, John McGeary; a retired Senior Constable with Victoria Police of 30 years service who ran for the Liberal Party in the 2000 state election, and João Goulão; the President of Portugal’s Institute of Drugs & Drug Addiction, to explore the area of drug legislation and the decriminalisation of drugs for personal use. HUNGRY BEAST airs in Australia on the ABC, 9PM Wednesdays. More stories: www.abc.net.au/hungrybeast
