Back in April, the Metropolitan Police Dept. here in D.C. announced plans to go door-to-door asking to search homes in high-crime neighborhoods. Flex Your Rights joined with several local groups to oppose the measure and we shot this great video of Matt Fogg from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition speaking at a community meeting.
I post it now because it randomly popped up at The Agitator and DrugWarRant last week and I realized Iâd never shared this here. Matt Fogg is wildly entertaining and gets me riled up every time I run into him.
MPD cancelled the home-search program due to public opposition, proving that events like this can really make a difference.
