Moderator – Adam McFadden
Due to the open air drug market in the City of Rochester, Adam McFadden has been working on legislation that would curtail drug sales. The legislation was drafted after the Washington, D.C. model. The tool suggested was to declare troubled areas a free drug zone. A few years ago this legislation was proposed to allow the police to use additional tools to affect a Drug Free Zone and was not received well. This legislation has been redrafted and will be put before City Council again. The legislation would allow the police department the ability to go into troubled areas where there have been open air drug dealing occurring and difficult for the police to stop this unwanted activity. As there are arrests, shootings or homicides in that area within the last six months, an area can be declared a Drug Free Zone. The police will be allowed to declare an area a Drug Free Zone. This would allow the police to indicate if persons are loitering within one-thousand feet of a certain intersection they can be arrested. The suspect can be arrested on site and a fine of $300 given to the individual and up to 30 days in jail. The idea is to not to make loitering comfortable and breed open air drug activity.
Please review e a generic copy of the legislation. This legislation is being rewritten, per Councilman, McFadden.
