That's not true because that's one issue that cops and prisons especially the ones in the south won't budge on.
Politicians more than cops and I've got no reason to defend corrupt cops as we have plenty of them. However, pols are the ones who won't budge on stupid drug laws even when the population says they want reform. There's just too much money in locking people up and running them through the justice system, even if they're acquitted cities, counties, and states make money off the ordeal.
That said, law enforcement agencies at both the federal and local levels are addicted to drug busts and drug money. There's too much money for them available if they're 'tough on drugs.' RICO lets them seize cash and property and that's just too tempting a prize.
