Re: Ethical Question

At the same time, there's clearly a point at which it is no longer morally acceptable to enforce laws, even as a police officers. There are some laws which it is clearly morally wrong to enforce. I don't believe that there is any moral or legal obligation to obey an unjust law or order.

So I disagree with you in principle, but I do agree with you that, in this case, giving a cannabis warning is probably not the hill you want to die on, especially as long as its just a warning and not an actual arrest. If it was an arrest, you could (in the United States) make an argument that it would be unjust to arrest the person for cannabis use, but a warning is different.

There's also the point that ill_omened makes that it's partly a matter of discretion and choice - and the other point to make, I think, is that OP is being encouraged to do this (as far as I can tell) as a part of attempting to get promoted in the course of their attempt to join the police force. So there's a combination of the questions that OP has to ask his or herself - "Am I only doing this for my career? Is my career important enough to me to suck it up and do this?" Etc. So I think that complicates things.
