Wow!!  Jump all over the guy who stands up for integrity in law enforcement!

I never said, I was perfect in my teen years, nor did I say all persons applying to LE jobs should be such.  I've never advocated a cut off for drug use as being an absolute predictor of future behavior in LE.  However, saying you used "heavy drugs" and your weight in marijuana, seems a bit over the top to me. The tone of this post was that of someone proud of getting away with something, not someone who just wanted to fulfill his dream of an LE job.  What will this person want to get away with next...abusing your rights perhaps.

Don't kid yourself about the value of integrity in this job.  Once you are perceived to have lost it, you can never function effectively in LE again.

I hope I am wrong about Great_ful.  The last thing I want is another criminal dressed in cop's clothing!!
