I don't get it. It's Canada and weed is legal. Are they just openly saying they're trying to entrap law abiding citizens?

The campaign is about driving while high. That is not law abiding.
Yeah we had ads about driving high even before legalization. Specifically remember a kids pack of zigzags talking To him in like 2007 "YOU. Are high. Do not drive"
Likely targeting impaired drivers.
What is ACAB? Also, weed is legal, unless you are driving. Just like beer is legal, unless you are driving. Being behind a steering wheel while being intoxicated is illegal is every country I thought?
These comments are insufferable. The text of the post was missing and people are assuming what it's about wildly.

This is a reminder to not believe anything you read online, and to reverse image search often :)
Omg the comments on here are pathetic
Can't y'all have fun or laugh for once??
That's entrapment!
They trying to catch fat people? I don't get it
They’re trying to catch police officers who smoke weed. That’s why they’re doing it in front of a police station.
Ah they wouldn't want any po-poes to be chill now would they
People who smoke pot are sometimes referred to having the munches when getting high. An innovative and low-teech way to catch pot-smokers!
Solid use of taxpayer funding.
Since the total cost would be under $20 (for the snacks—everything else they would have had already or picked out of the trash), even at current ridiculously high grocery prices, I'm not overly concerned about that aspect.
Glad they were doing it in their off hours and not while getting paid. Or maybe they were getting paid, but they’re all caught up on real crime in their city and there’s literally nothing else they could be doing in this utopian paradise.
Oh FFS. If a boss were to whine about employees doing this on company time we'd be dogpiling on them. Let's not have ridiculous double standards.
Maybe part of the job of these specific officers is outreach, and they think staging a silly photo contributes to that. Or they could be waiting for something/someone else, and thought this was more interesting than just standing around talking about the weather. Or maybe they were indeed doing this after or before work, or while not on the clock for other reasons. Truth is, you don't know any more than I do. And to be honest? Even if they had no excuse, how much pay do you really think they would have collected in the five minutes it took them to stage the shot?
(Sorry, but it annoys me when people expect perfect efficiency from others. Hardly anyone is actually doing work every single second when they're at work, and if you are, I'd advise you to ease off before you burn out. That applies to cops as well as everyone else.)
If noone reports a crime, how will they know to respond to crime? This is like complaining about firefighters eating dinner while on duty.
They trying to catch other police?
They're wearing masks, so it's 2020 or later in the photo, but weed was legalized federally in 2018. If cops in Canada did post this, they're dumber than I gave them credit for.
Driving while impaired is not. The photo is taken on a parking lot. Connect the dots.
Good lord. Does nobody have a sense of humor anymore. You people are losers
Fucking eh. Admittedly the joke is low hanging fruit, but still worth a chuckle for the effort.

I hate the stoner stereotype of people eating shitty foods.
Anecdotely the stoners I know do eat shitty food. I believe their exists a blackhole that's hard to get out of. You feel shitty or stressed, smoke, eat shitty food because motivation is gone to do other things, feel shitty the next day because your body is surviving on garbage calories, repeat.
I had a family member that needed mental health care, first thing they did was alter the diet and check vitimin levels, because its hard to get mentally well if you aren't physically well.
It kind of makes sense for people who only smoke occasionally, probably not accurate for stoners though
This is so weird I immediately assumed it was US cops.
