Police will be too stretched to worry about prosecutions during millennium celebrations

People will not be punished for smoking cannabis and taking drugs during millennium celebrations as part of unprecedented police plans to adopt a 'maximum tolerance' policy for the biggest celebration the world has ever seen.

As millions of people prepare to take to the streets for parties next weekend, police forces across the country are expected to turn a blind eye to drug use, enabling thousands of revellers to take drugs with virtually no risk of being prosecuted.

The real question is .....

Even if they were going to do this, why would the authorities tell everyone ahead of time about this?
