A new bill seeking to reduce penalties for simple marijuana possession took its first step through the legislature on April 17th by an 11-0 vote in the state Senate Judiciary Committee. This could mean significant reform for the way personal amounts of marijuana are charged, prosecuted, and sentenced.
Current Alabama law divides marijuana possession into two categories: first- and second- degree. Possession of any amount for personal use is a second-degree conviction and a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by not more than one year in jail and a fine not more than $6,000. A first-degree conviction is a Class C felony carrying a punishment of not less than one year and not more than ten years in jail, for any amount and for any purpose other than personal use. First-degree possession also includes any subsequent charges for personal use after the defendant has been previously convicted of misdemeanor second-degree possession.

A woman from Saginaw, Michigan, who was convicted of numerous parking violations, had those charges overturned by the 6th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals on Monday. The appellate court held that the common parking enforcement tactic of “chalking” without a warrant was a constitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment, AL.com reports. “Chalking” is a method used to measure parking times where meters aren’t present. Parking enforcement can mark a tire, and if the chalk is still there after a certain period—they issue a parking citation.
