Howard Wooldridge spent 18 years as a cop in Michigan and saw first-hand the failures of the War on Drugs. In 2002 he and four colleagues founded Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and he now heads Citizens Opposing Prohibition (COP), which makes presentations to every Congressional office every year.
