As mentioned before...it was a drug bust...12 year old was told to lay down on the floor next to his parents...I see no problem with officers demanding that. None.

No it wasn't. I was a head shop bust - these guys were selling bongs.

..........It was a drug bust of 13 locations....any parent willingly involving themselves with that crowd automatically endanger their children to whatever consequences may or may not come.

They were busting all the head shops in the area. Most of these people probably did not even know each other.

This was a political show bust, designed to make headlines in an election year. Most of these people will probably walk, but after the election.

If you think it is OK to stick guns in children's faces and accusing them of being drug dealers with no evidence to back you up, then there is something really wrong with you. If so, you obviously have no problem with them coming to your house accidentally and terrorizing your children as well.

“the DEA, Idaho National Guard, IRS and the U.S. Marshals and Attorney’s offices worked on the case,”... which the agencies ‘built over the course of an entire year’...repeat it was built for over a year....13 Locations were involved ....this was not a small operation by any means. ..nor spur of the moment. It was investigated and planned for.

So now you and others are trying to convince us that this was simply a matter of selling bongs??? I don’t think so. They aren’t going in with that kind of force, nor that length of investigative time, without having some hard evidence something more than selling bongs is going on..

Further the parents of these kids knew the risk....knew they were committing crimes and are thus the ones responsible for putting their kids in these situations from the get go.

It really isn’t that difficultt..... Abide by the law..Don’t sell dope.... Take care of your family. .... You go the other direction that makes the parents culpable?... ‘most defintely’.... Regardless of your personal feelings, the law is the law, breaking it has consequences.
