The NYPD has told cops how to enforce the state’s new marijuana law — which includes letting adults light up in public, ignoring the exchange of weed unless money is involved and banning vehicle searches based on smell alone. Instead, they "should notify the relevant parole officers" to enforce the conditions under which the jailbird was sprung from prison. Specific guidance in the memo tells cops that people 21 and older can legally smoke weed "almost anywhere that cigarette smoking is allowed including on sidewalks, on front stoops and other public places." An NYPD source said the lenient new drug law could prove disastrous for public safety. Cops on the force will not be allowed to toke up themselves, however, the NYPD said in a statement.
