I went home and smoked a fat joint...Just kidding!!!  Wanted to though.

Wow!!  Nice to know a soon to be LE colleague wants to celebrate by lighting up a joint.  Will he be able to resist such temptations when he makes his first seizure of narcotics.   We won't know because we already have the make on the level of integrity here.

If this was a true story, then this might lend credibility to assertions that countermeasures can work.  BUT, it provides even MORE credibility to my arguments about ethical issues here.

Great-ful,

I don't necessarily disagree that your past may not predict whether you are a good person and worthy candidate for law enforcement.  However, your integrity is HUGE in this line of work.  Hope how you started isn't how you conduct yourself throughout your career.  If so you may just become another black eye to the men and women who put in an honest day's work as police officers.
