tolerate/policy of tolerance

I also found a reference from the US House of Representatives to back up my suggestion.
This is the liberal policy again that the President did not talk about, but the policy of tolerance, a policy of not going after criminals who are dealing in death and destruction.

: I think this is a much better solution than 'policy of tolerance', which implies a hypocritical attitude since the action itself (using soft drugs for instance) is in fact punishable.
