NYPD gives cops new orders to let people smoke weed in public

The NYPD has told cops how to enforce the state’s new marijuana law — which includes letting adults light up in public, ignoring the exchange of weed unless money is involved and banning vehicle searches based on smell alone.

A four-page memo also says cops can’t “approach, stop or detain” a parolee for smoking or possessing pot, even if they know the ex-con isn’t supposed to be getting high. Instead, they “should notify the relevant parole officers” to enforce the conditions under which the jailbird was sprung from prison.
