Seeing Red In Maryland

You might want to think that through, Joe.

Okay, so we learn in this piece that Attorney General Joe Curran says that private citizens - and more to the point, private schools - do not have to call in the police when they find drugs on a kid. I see his point and I agree.

But there's also this:

When asked if police should be involved in disciplining cases of possession, he said, "that might be a pretty big burden to put on such a young person."

Excuse me? Did our Attorney General just say it might too much of a burden on a teen to be arrested for breaking the law? Does toes this apply to adults too? Or more serious offenses? And this guy is the "top lawyer" for the state?

Now I'm really glad he's not running for re-election.
