UK: Minor cannabis users "not priority"
Derbyshire's police and crime commissioner has said minor cannabis users are not a "priority" for the force.
Alan Charles has said austerity cuts to police budgets had forced Derbyshire police to reassess its priorities.
In an interview with the Guardian, Mr Charles said: "The severity of the funding cuts mean that we can't keep policing every single issue as we have done in the past.
"If people are using cannabis discreetly in their own homes, in private, I would not expect the chief to make that a priority.”
He said the force would always target organised criminals producing large amounts of drugs.
He added: “If you are talking about people growing a couple of cannabis plants at home on the window sill, I would not expect Derbyshire police to prioritise that.”
