Officers must do their best to enforce this democratically-enacted legislation, even if a few marijuana offenders will slip through the law’s loopholes...
...computers must not store what they deem high-risk, confidential information “in any way relating to Harvard or Harvard sponsored activities on any individual user computer or portable storage device.” The software is being installed “to make sure computers are compliant,” Cahill said. “All this software really does is allow you to know easily what is on your computer.
