Judge Halts Arrest of Drug Users in Needle Exchange Program
A federal judge in New York has ordered police to stop arresting drug users who participate in needle-exchange programs.
The judge "granted a declaratory judgment in favor of plaintiffs who alleged police were wrongly charging users with drug possession based on the residue of drugs found in used needles, and with illegal possession of needles and syringes."
