I know, I know, Libertarians don't propose more laws . . . unless those laws actually limit the power of the state.
The case of Rachel Hoffman--sacrificed to the drug war through the uncaring imbecility of the Tallahassee Police Department--is proof enough that we need something like this on the books:
Tie the hands of law enforcement?
Some of those hands are serious calling out for handcuffs.

and add the state you are sending it from. Pass it on to others who might do the same.
It won't take long and you do not have to write anything but From (your state). When FSU becomes aware of the national heat this case is generating, it is my believe that for self serving reasons, they will force the issue.
Thanks again Shirley
and the Delaware Libertarian for their interest in this situation
