Yesterday the Uruguayan Senate approved a marijuana legalization bill that was passed by the House of Representatives last July. After President José Mujica signs the bill, Uruguay will become the first country in the world to fully legalize cannabis. (Except Portugal, which legalized all drugs over a decade ago). The plan is for government agents to grow the marijuana and distribute it to pharmacies, where adults will be allowed to buy up to 40 grams a month. The bill also allows home cultivation of up to six plants and nonprofit distribution by cannabis clubs. Congrats, Uruguay!

In United States news, a cop has been cleared of any wrongdoing after he attacked a man by pushing his police dog through the driver's window.
The man had gone through a checkpoint that police set up to arrest people they suspect are criminals.
Dashboard video shows the police cruiser smashing into the suspect’s car, nearly killing him. The man surrenders, his hands in the air, out the window with open palms in plain view. That’s when the cop gets out of his car and forces his German Shepherd into the driver’s side window. The raging police dog nearly killed the driver, causing serious injuries to his face, neck, and shoulders.


The cop, however, was cleared of any wrongdoing by a grand jury yesterday. The cop who attacked the man has been given a paid vacation at the taxpayers expense while his coworkers investigate.
The man who was hit by the police cruiser and then had his face chewed off by a police dog has been caged and is facing years in prison on charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a government official and traffic violations.
The dog, who is officially considered a fellow cop by his handlers, will continue working with no extra training. The Police Chief said, quote 'Sometimes the job we do is not pretty.'


Cops in Chicago can now remotely access video shot from any of the city’s 24,000 closed-circuit television cameras.
They just kidnapped their first victim with the help of space-age facial-recognition technology that reads thousands of live video feeds in real-time at all hours of the day.
Pierre Martin was arrested and charged with armed robbery. Pierre’s crimes were caught on camera. Now he is the first person to be tracked by the Police using the facial-recognition technology, but he is likely to not be the last.
The Transportation Security Administration, a federal government agency, has given the Chicago Transit Authority, a local government agency, millions of dollars of federal taxpayer dollars to aid with the program. That money has been used to fit the arsenal of city-licensed surveillance cameras to run in tandem with NeoFace, a high-tech analysis program used by various governments and law enforcement agencies around the globe to grab biometric data off of an image and match it to another.
Civil liberty advocates in Chicago, DC and elsewhere aren’t impressed, however, and warn that systems such as NeoFace could let police profile anyone of their choosing.
Agents from the federal government are investigating new ways to help identify anyone, anywhere using a database that aims to contain biometric information on every adult in the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced plans to have a database of 14 million photographs on file by next year when it rolls out its Next Generation Identification system. It uses surveillance camera clips and other footage to match suspects up almost instantaneously with a pool of persons derived from state DMV photo-shoots and other government-owned images. Both the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Electronic Privacy Information Center have sued the FBI in hopes of learning more about the NGI program before its intended roll-out in 2014.
