This is the first time I've noted the Most Wanted list and I think it's a really good thing! Thanks for the info, I'm a senior who lives alone with a small dog and ADT. I can't always be watching for danger so I try to watch out for suspecious people who don't seem to belong!

Isn't it absurd that 6 of the 10 (60%) of the "most wanted" are for possession of a controlled substance? Decriminalization of currently illegal drugs (a/k/a drugs without major corporate sponsorships such as alcohol and tobacco) would go a long way towards freeing up law enforcement to fight real crime and saving wasted taxpayer funds. It would also reduce drug-related crimes such as burglary, theft and robbery. Wake up America!

I concur with the former comment, that decriminalization would aid in some cases, but unfortunately with a large majority of cases, drugs that are manufacured by means of combining chemicals that become combustible in a fragile state, do - in my opinion - qualify as a criminal act, based upon the danger that it poses not only to the manufacturer, but also to other's and their properties nearby. I concur that Cannabis does not pose this threat, and should be considered as a product capable of generating great tax revenues by the legalization of its use and distribution. Unfortunately these days, marijuana accounts for a very small percentage of criminal activity.

What about the crimes committed by those under the influence of alcohol or drugs (legal or illegal?). MO. has one of the lowest fine schedules for DWI in the country & the top perameters are rarely issused. Law Enforcement does THEIR job by getting them off the road-so increase the fines. A DWI may. in your opinion be a "little drunk", I assure you-my family is not just "a liitle dead" from a self-indulgent DWI.
