Tiny plastic bags used to sell small quantities of heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and other drugs would be banned in Chicago, under a crackdown advanced Tuesday by a City Council committee.
Ald. Robert Fioretti (2nd) persuaded the Health Committee to ban possession of “self-sealing plastic bags under two inches in either height or width,” after picking up 15 of the bags on a recent Sunday afternoon stroll through a West Side park.
Lt. Kevin Navarro, commanding officer of the Chicago Police Department’s Narcotics and Gang Unit, said the ordinance will be an “important tool” to go after grocery stores, health food stores and other businesses. The bags are used by the thousand to sell small quantities of drugs at $10 or $20 a bag.
Next up: In a bold move to prevent gun related deaths, holsters will be banned. Plus, lighters will be made illegal to prevent the underage from smoking. What other brilliant ideas can you come up with to equal this obvious way to end the scourge of drugs!
#4 don’t lump this as a “Chicago” thing. It’s only one Alderman, representing maybe 10 city blocks of the city that’s proposed this, it’s not even a law yet, and has not even been backed by the mayor from what I’ve read. There’s over 6 million people in Chicago, that means there will certainly be some stupid ones. This isn’t some Chicago wide law that we’ve all voted on or something. It’s a proposal, there’s hundreds of proposals a month from alderman in this city that never go anywhere.
Pfffftttt…
If they’re REALLY serious they should outlaw paper so that dealers can’t make “bindles” anymore.
#32 “Are these bags covered by the 2nd amendment?”
Yes. Wait.. No, the 2nd Amend has been canceled.
Let’s call the American Civil Liberties Union. Oh, that’s right they don’t really defend civil liberties..
so instead of finding dime bags in the park, theyre going to find full size sandwich bags…….
i’ll have some x, meth, crack, and mj, with fries and super size it please
Hey, I thought the people on this blog liked the idea of banning plastic bags? Where are all the enviros bragging about their superior lifestyle choices?
Heh, MikeN reveals himself.
“How dare you oppose this well-intentioned law? You guys are clearly drug dealers.”

I thought you were an agent for a while, if only because you seem so co-ordinated with other posters;

But that comment was so lame and flat that I hope you would have never passed the service test. But, you need to work on your technique; to troll properly, you have to throw out your bait and watch the effects. You’re technique is more like bashing the water with your rod until all the fish leave. Not so much fun.
