Legalize it
Waste of police resources on a weed bust. It will be legalized by the end of the year. This is not protecting us, only a waste of police & court resources. Alcohol is much more dangerous than marijuana!
For fucking weed it’s a 50$ ticket
Moronic bust
Oh wow you got some big time criminals out the streets
Oh wow you got some big time criminals out the streets
Why do both last names sound familiar? Oh village employees? Nepotism?
What they were really busted for was being “too close” to one another, in violation of the governor’s ban on the birds and the bees!
Excellent police work! Get them out of the neighborhood!
Political
Nothing “suspicious” about getting high in Ridgewood! Every time you pay your taxes in that town, you must be high on something!!
This week, members of the New Jersey state Assembly approved a substitute version of A1897 by a 63-10 vote. As currently written, the measure decriminalizes the possession and distribution of up to two ounces of marijuana by adults — making these activities punishable by a $50 fine. Those found to be in violation of the law will no longer be arrested or saddled with a criminal record.
This is a blatant waste of police resources and to call it a “drug bust” is not only a fallacy, it is illogical.
Why didn’t they just stay in their mother’s basement and smoke like the other do in this little Village
Good Bust.
Quality of life arrests are important to improve the neighborhood. If you let the small things slide it increases the occurances of the bigger things.
SEE NYC circa 1990s.
We pay police this much to bust weed smokers?
The irony! The RPD had an officer test positive for marijuana use but never tired the individual…
The names of these police officers sound familiar
@tracy R…. your comment about ”that town”. That would indicate you’re not a resident. Do you come here to bitch about Ridgewood? Try sticking to ”your town” blog. Is it the Paterson blog?
oh please – people can comment on any town they want to. Sounds like you protest too much embarassed cause Ridgewood is not what its cracked up to be?
