Seattle Police Won't Arrest for Drug Possession after State High Court Strikes Law Down

The Washington Supreme Court has struck down part of the state's felony drug possession law because it doesn't require prosecutors to prove that someone knowingly or intentionally possessed the drugs.

The ruling has enormous ramifications for law enforcement agencies across the state as evidenced by a decision by the Seattle Police Department to immediately halt making arrests for a suspected simple drug possession offense.

"The Seattle Police Department will follow the law and has already issued this directive, effective immediately," the department said to KOMO News in an emailed response. "This morning the Washington State Supreme Court ruled RCW 69.50.4013 unconstitutional. RCW 69.50.4013, also known to as simple drug possession, is no longer an arrestable offense. It also cannot be used as a legal basis to seize an individual."
