Use Your Eyes

About This Movie

So, 'Use Your Eyes' is this quaint little documentary from 1970, produced by the Alhambra Police Department. The film really captures a moment in time, showing how cops approached the whole marijuana situation back then. It’s fascinating, in a way, to see the almost clinical method of searching a home for evidence - the pacing is a bit slow, but it adds to the instructional tone. The film has this raw, unpolished feel, like you’re getting a glimpse behind the curtain of police work. It’s not about characters or drama, but rather a practical guide draped in a documentary style. The whole exploration of rights and evidence is pretty striking, given today’s conversations around the topic.

Educational value for historical context.Interesting for collectors of police or cannabis-related media.A unique piece reflecting 1970s policing methods.
