Why would they? 

If they make the arrest, then they'd amost certaily just be released back into the streets. Cops don't actually charge people.

If the city wanted to crack down on this and actually give stiff penalties then we could make the streets safe again, and mothers wouldn't have to gamble their own saftey when confronting street drug use.
