UK: Let-off for children on dope

The Sun

Tuesday 23 Jan 2007

---
KIDS caught smoking cannabis will no longer be arrested under new
guidelines for police.

Instead officers have been told to deal with under-18s in “less
intrusive” ways, such as escorting them home.

A new drug policy was quietly issued to cops last week at the height of
the Big Brother race row.

Any who do arrest children will have to justify their actions, according
to the Association of Chief Police Officers’ document.

Only children under ten caught using the drug will be considered “at
risk” and referred to child protection officers.

Adults found with a small amount of dope now face a “three strikes and
you’re out” policy.

They will get two “cannabis warnings” before being arrested.
