Thanks,

This is the actual text of the code. Several exceptions to it and DPD will still take the doper's weed no matter what. If it's a trooper, or any other peace officer such as a constable or a sheriff's deputy, none of this applies.
(a) This policy in this section shall be known as the Dallas Freedom Act.
(b) Pursuant to the home rule authority of the Texas Constitution, to promote the health,
safety, and general welfare of the people of Dallas, Texas, the voters of Dallas hereby enact the Dallas
Freedom Act, a policy to reform marijuana enforcement by city personnel, with the specific goals of
carefully allocating scarce city resources, reducing the risk of discriminatory enforcement practices,
and focusing city resources on the highest priority public safety concerns.
(c) Unless and until a binding act of a state or federal court requires otherwise, the Dallas
Police Department shall not make any arrest or issue any citation for Class A or Class B misdemeanor
marijuana possession, except in the limited cases described by this policy.
(d) In the event of a binding act of a state or federal court which would prevent the City
of Dallas’s fulfillment of Subsection (c), the city’s policy shall be to make enforcement of Class A
and Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession its lowest enforcement priority. In particular, the
city shall update its annual budget, police department manual, and relevant policies and procedures
to ensure that public safety resources are not wasted on misdemeanor marijuana enforcement, and
are instead targeted at other programs that best promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the
people of Dallas.
(e) This policy shall not limit enforcement of misdemeanor marijuana possession
offenses if an offense is: (1) revealed as part of a felony narcotics investigation that has been
designated as “high priority” by a commander, assistant chief of police, or chief of police; and/or (2)
revealed as part of the investigation of a violent felony. Dallas police officers shall not issue any
charge for misdemeanor possession of marijuana unless it meets one or more of these exceptions.
(f) In any instance governed by this policy, if a Dallas police officer has probable cause
to believe that a substance is illegal marijuana, the officer may seize the substance. If the officer
seizes the substance, they must write a report explaining the grounds for seizure and release any
Updated 9-11-24
detained person if possession of marijuana is the sole charge.
(g) A Class C misdemeanor citation for possession of drug residue or drug paraphernalia
shall not be issued in lieu of a possession of marijuana charge.

Maybe someday law enforcement will be able to enforce the laws again. All the laws should be able to be enforced by law enforcement. Instead of driving by 40 criminals standing in front of Home Depot to get to the guy jaywalking two corners over.

It absolutely applies. If a feller doesn’t hurt you or yours, or anyone else, why does it matter what he does in the privacy of his own home, or at his lease, or anywhere else.
Gay marriage is legal. I ain’t gay. I don’t want to be gay. I don’t care if someone else is gay. I don’t want someone that’s gay trying to make me gay. It’s pretty simple. I agree with you almost totally, live and let live, except...I have many years of experience that shows me that many pot smokers won't keep it at home or at the lease. I would agree with a law saying you could not be arrested for possessing a user's amount in your home or on your land, as long as there are no kids involved, and you didn't tread on the rights of others. I would say and I'm just guessing here (never added them up as it wasn't a major accomplishment or matter of pride), that the hundreds of pot arrests I made, if the arrestee had kept their pot at home I would have never known or cared about it. I would be willing to bet if pot were legalized in Texas, within two hours someone would be smoking it in public and exposing kids. much like some drunks, they believe their right to party just trumps everyone else's rights. Just curious, had they been high (but left their weed at home), would you have arrested them for being "under the influence"? Not trying to put you on the spot. I apologize if it sounds that way. You don't have to answer!

You don't have to answer! If they were driving and had loss of mental and physical faculties then yes, law says under the influence of any substance, if they were a passenger or on foot and had a responsible adult to take responsibility, probably not, it would depend on their demeaner. I would have treated them the same as a person intoxicated on alcoholic beverage.
