What if of Sunday, April 20th, all the pot smokers...
...grabbed a joint and went down to the local cop shop and turned themselves in? What would happen?

2. I'm sure they'd be happy to haul them in. The courts make money off those arrests.

3. If every single one of them wanted a trial...
...it'd be interesting to see how the courts would handle it.

I think I see where you're going with this. And I must say... I like it.

7. This is what would happen
the cops would find a way to fine people without having to put them in jail, and turn it into a revenue gathering event

10. Don't feed the racket. They'll just pipeline your ass and get a future court cost
later.

They'd lock up random people on additional trumped up bullshit, send your ass home with a ticket, and get around to extracting as spots open.
