Sgt Ash Holland said the order is the fifth obtained against drug dealers convicted in Southend, but the first against one who was not sent to prison.
He said: “If we can prevent drug dealers from putting themselves in the circumstances that they need to deal drugs and make it as hard as possible then the hope is they will be dissuaded from that life of crime.
“People see policing as just locking people up, but Aidon Pearce is a young man and by obtaining this CBO we can prevent reoffending.
“Hopefully this will protect him from people who do get themselves into these situations.
“If he does break the order, it is a criminal offence and he will be back in court and most likely go to prison.”
Remember when the police considered criminals to
be criminals, and not poor misguided youths in need of help..?
Legalising drugs and control them like alcohol and tobacco and have only licenced business supply them, such as pharmaceutical companies. The tax revenue alone is sufficient motive to do so. It would be large some of which could be routed to extra and the current needs of healthcare and social services(for obvious reasons) and spent on public awareness marketing to reduce drug abuse. The savings on police budgets as crime and the need to not police drug distribution and use would be considerable. Which the police are pretty crap at anyway. What is not to like? Before you say but drugs are harmful and many more similar reasons for not doing so I point out so are many other things in life but we do not totally ban them. We try to educate people to act responsibly and despite the left believing otherwise it is not the job of the state to make them do so. That rests with them as long they do nothing to harm others they are quite entitled to do whatever they choose.
