Ten people were put into jail, mostly on outstanding felony warrants for offenses that included rape, domestic violence and assault, Diaz said. Two of the 10 were jailed on new offenses, including possession of drugs with intent to deliver and possession of a stolen firearm, the chief said. Police “might not have come into contact” with the suspects if not for the new drug law, he said.
So… 8 out of 10 of the people arrested were not arrested for drug charges, but for existing felony warrants. If they were only contacted because of the new law, shouldn’t there have been clear evidence that they were also using or possessing illegal drugs? Or are they just admitting that they openly accosted everyone in the area regardless of reasonable suspicion?

You sound like someone who understands how law enforcement works.
I certainly try to understand how the 4th amendment works. Sadly I think most people stopped paying attention after 2.
