Isle of Man debates restoring arrest powers after cannabis reclassification

Chief Minister Richard Corkill told Tynwald that the island had automatically imported the United Kingdom's cannabis change from Class B to Class C. A bill before parliament would restore warrantless arrest powers, with police discretion and a presumption against arrest unless aggravating factors existed. The debate showed that reclassification and police arrest powers were separate questions.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Isle of Man here.
