New Jersey moves to curb steroid use by police

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Lawmakers in New Jersey are considering measures that would crack down on steroid use by police and firefighters, some of whom abuse the drugs in their efforts to keep physically fit, experts say. (but most in tampa are just stupider'n fuck and believe you don't notice their sweating ill-complexion greasiness and aggressiveness)
The state Assembly bills introduced on Monday, believed to be the first of their kind in the nation, would require health evaluations before law enforcement could be prescribed anabolic steroids and growth hormones, and would add such drugs to a list of substances for which law enforcement employees are randomly tested.
"This is focused on uniformed public employees, but this is really a nationwide problem," said Assemblyman John McKeon, the Deputy Speaker who introduced the bills.
"A lot of these anti-aging clinics and charlatans are selling these products, and we need to examine the long-term health problems."
The National Conference on State Legislatures said it did not know of any similar legislation in other states and New Jersey's measures could be the first in the nation. Most steroid laws regulate high school athletes, it said.
Law enforcement steroid use is a problem around the country and, given that steroid use can cause aggression, can invite problems for police, said Larry Gaines, chairman of the Department of Criminal Justice at California State University in San Bernadino, California.
"Aggression is not very common but nonetheless it's a possible problem," Gaines said. "If it does occur, you could see lawsuits against police departments regarding citizens injured from steroid rage."
Competitiveness is a major reason why police and firefighters might use steroids, he said.
"A number of departments focus very highly on physical fitness and ability," Gaines said. (THIS CANNOT BE THE REASON IN TAMPA LO FING L)
"Secondly, a lot of these officers see substantial dangers on the job so they feel they should be in some kind of top level of physical fitness." (LOL)
The New Jersey Firefighter Mutual Benevolent Association, a state firefighters union, welcomes any initiative to crack down on steroid abuse, said president Bill Lavin.
"We're obviously in favor of testing and not in favor of using illegal drugs of any sort," Lavin said. "I think steroids represent a small segment of our industry, and certainly we're in favor of doing anything to curtail it."
The New Jersey measures come in response to reports last month of a local doctor who illegally supplied hundreds of police and firefighters with anabolic steroids, human growth hormones and other muscle-building drugs.
"Just like everybody I was outraged," said McKeon. "Being in the position I'm in, I'm even more outraged about the multiple millions of dollars that has cost our system for the years to come."
The state attorney general is investigating the allegations, first reported last month by the Newark Star-Ledger newspaper, that millions of taxpayer dollars were illegally spent on the drugs, spokesman Paul Loriquet said.
McKeon said he hopes the bill will stop police and firefighters from abusing steroids, saying most of them probably do not have a medical reason to use them. *THANK YOU >>> I guess this guy can expect to lose the useless endorsement by swine YAY FOR MCKEON)

Next time you see a pumped up cop make an immediate citizen's arrest. Take him (or her?), by force if need be, to the nearest cop shop and demand justice. Perfectly legal.I've done it twice with drunk cops and they never messed with me again.

This is waaaaayyyyyy overdue. I know many, many, cops (and some firefighters) that take steroids on a regular basis. This has been a problem for about 25 years now. If city, county, state, and federal goverments do not test for it like they do pot, coke, etc. then it will not get any better.

Now, let's go back to all those cases where a cop shot someone that wasn't carrying a gun and test that cop for steriods. Anyone want to bet that the percentage is over 80%? If a cop is found to be using steriods, they shouldn't just get fired, they should be prosecuted and thrown in jail if they test positive. Also, let's investigate the police unions and see if they are in any way involved and if so, disband them and make the illegal.
BAD DECISISONS BY BAD COPS ARE WORSE ON BAD STEROIDS
