Kids for Cash - Why Police Agencies Focus on Victimless Crimes $
- 12 years ago
This video is to show why prohibition is so popular in our country, and it has nothing to do with public safety, or the well being of the people. This has to do with huge profits.
Private prisons make billions from prohibition. Local police and jurisdictions make a lot of money from federal grants to fight "the war on drugs".
Yet our major crimes in this country go unpunished and in many cases un-investigated.
