Darien, IL -- A city ordinance prohibiting possession of drug paraphernalia is expected to give police officers more leverage to search for illegal drugs, particularly at Hinsdale South High School, Clarendon Hills Road and 75th Street in Darien. About two years ago, Hinsdale South liaison officer Michael Campo noticed an increase in homemade drug paraphernalia--such as copper pipes, corn cob pipes and emptied pens--used by youths at the school. Campo asked the City Council to ban materials adapted for the manufacturing or ingesting of illegal substances. Aldermen unanimously approved the law recently. The law allows cases involving possession of drug paraphernalia to be heard at the Downers Grove field court. Copyright 1998 Chicago Tribune Company In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
