Los Angeles to dismiss 66,000 marijuana convictions | US news | The Guardian
Prosecutors working with not-for-profit tech group to use algorithms to find eligible cases in decades-old court documents
Los Angeles moved this week to dismiss nearly 66,000 marijuana convictions, years after the state voted to legalize the drug.
The county is working with a not-for-profit technology organization, Code for America, to use algorithms to identify eligible cases within decades-old court documents.

Another step in the right direction. Bloomberg should change his anti-pot pitch.
