POLICE ON SNOWBOARDS NOW ARRESTING POT SMOKERS AT ALBERTA MOUNTAINS

Two ski resorts in Alberta will now be patrolled by police officers on skis/snowboard in an effort to prevent drug use (mainly pot smoking) on chairlifts, CBC News reported.

 

This controversial decision is supposed to come in an effort to make the slopes at Lake Louise and Nakiska ski hills safer, but as you can probably imagine, it's not popular with everyone.

 

"It's going to deter people from bringing narcotics or have that second look of doing something on the ski hill because they know there is going to be a police presence," RCMP Cpl. Jeff Campbell, the detachment commander in Lake Louise told CBC News.

 

The officers will be in uniform and carrying weapons while they patrol and they are also supposed to "keep an eye out or possible thefts from the ski racks," CBC News reported.

 

Skiers at the resort worry that police patrol is a slippery slope, "I would think that more recklessness comes from people coming in and drinking at lunch time and then going back out … Are you going to give somebody a ticket for drinking and then skiing?" a skier said to CBC News.

There was a similar patrol program at Lake Louise 20 years ago, but it was stopped for unknown reasons. This current project is being based off of Whistler's police patrol program, CBC News reported.
