Cops are usually the ones enforcing the arguably useless and destructive war on drugs. But realistically, cops are people too and obviously some of them get high. And because they're cops, one would assume it's pretty hard to get arrested for it.Detective Constable Kirk Blake, of Toronto police's gangs and guns unit, has now defied that logic.Blake was charged with possession of cocaine after he lost his wallet and it was found by another officer with blow inside.According to police, Blake had gone to the Scarborough courthouse on Sept. 19 as part of his duties. Afterwards, he went to the police office. When he left, he forgot his wallet behind.The wallet was found by another police officer who opened it to check for identification and discovered a "small quantity" of coke inside."The cocaine was unrelated to Detective Constable Blake's official duties," police say.Blake is scheduled to appear in court in February. Hopefully he'll remember his wallet this time.Follow Manisha Krishnan on Twitter.
