What? So if you are a police officer you have to get your supervisors permission to get a second job, what happened to the freedom that we are accorded in this country. I can understand the police departments just as the military does, make it against policy for an officer to smoke marijuana while off duty, as a police officer or member of the military you have to be top notch and receive respect from the community and I believe even if marijuana is legal police officers and members of the military would loose the trust of the public if they where to consume marijuana whether they are off duty.
Now working at a "pot shop" I don't think hurts anything and won't hurt the reputation of the department, I think it is bull that a officer has to get permission first to work another job and second get approval of where they get that job. If the person is a police officer I think he/she can make the judgement whether the second job will interfere with their primary duty as a police officer.
