There are 3000 counties in America, how long do you think it takes to get things from city or county level up to state and federal level? These little local gestures aren't that effective overall. The problem is the commodification of your personal data.

As an observer, it took about 20 years to get MJ prohibition removed from town law and later adopted by State. Different issues have different incentives.

Can't it be both things at once? To say it's not at all the cops fault is ridiculous.

I'm not saying that, but that trying to do bottom-up legislation at the muni/county level is probably a losing strategy.
