Council Member Brewer raises the issue of trucks selling cannabis illegally and asks about the Sheriff's Office's enforcement actions against these mobile operations. Sheriff Miranda explains their approach to handling cannabis-selling trucks.

  • The Sheriff's Office inspects trucks selling cannabis, but there is no sealing mechanism for mobile vehicles
  • Different law enforcement tactics are used to remove these trucks, issue fines, and seize products
  • The Sheriff's Office has a separate category for tracking enforcement actions against mobile vehicles
  • Specific data on the number of seized trucks is not immediately available, but Sheriff Miranda offers to provide this information later

Thank you.

I see trucks.
0:29:19
There are some on Broadway in 96th Street.
0:29:22
Others may have trucks that sell just like everyone else, I assumed.
0:29:26
Illegally granted the state gives it the same authority, I assume, as it does over store front, trucks, and store fronts.
0:29:35
How many have you inspected, and how many have you sealed?
Anthony Miranda

So the trucks are not a ceiling mechanism.
0:29:41
We do go out and inspect trucks that are selling cannabis.
0:29:44
We have different law enforcement tactics to sheriff's tactics to be able to remove those trucks, issue the appropriate fines, and seize all the products inside.

We have a separate category for mobile vehicles, I can get you that number as well.
