Police said officers pulled over the motorist, who was not identified, for speeding in a 2002 BMW at about 3:30 a.m. and later discovered the drug in his car.
Faced with the officers' demand that he eat the gram of marijuana, the teenager popped it in his mouth and was subsequently issued a traffic ticket, police said. He reported feeling briefly ill from the drug.
The teenager filed his complaint the same day as the traffic stop.
Yahner said there was no video from the officers of the stop and that it appeared they turned off their body cameras prior to the incident.
"This conduct is contrary to everything we stand for ? and it undermines the good actions of the men and women of the Phoenix police department," Yahner told reporters.

1 gram?
And he got sick?
“Yahner said there was no video from the officers of the stop and that it appeared they turned off their body cameras prior to the incident.”
I would give this the presumption of guilt. They should test the man for marijuana and, if he tests positive, charge the officers with forcing the consumption of a controlled substance under color of authority. Hey, they might say he already had it in his possession. Well, that’s too bad, you shouldn’t have turned your cameras off, because the presumption is that you are guilty because you turned them off.
Shoulds to me like he caught a break, getting to eat it rather be charged with possession.
Ah, the police.
Doing the jobs liberal slime will not do.
Per the comedian Ron White, if you have 1 gram of marijuana, you’re out of marijuana.
I used to have a basketball coach that forced us to eat our own puke if we threw up after doing suicides.
When I was in uniform giving kids a break meant watching them pour the beer or liquor on the ground ...
What are ‘suicides’?
It was when we had to sprint back and forth and touch lines. Probably called something different elsewhere.
An ounce is 28 grams. I don’t know if the new pot is that much more powerful that a gram is a lot.
There goes NBC stoking or trying to ignite the flames there... Gosh I Hate them with a passion!! Something HAS TO BE DONE about those buttholes!
Good way to handle it. I hope they can still do it in this age of body cams.
One gram would have little if any effect unless the weed was cooked. It has to be heated to a certain level (decarboxilated) before it can be psychoactive when eaten?
Don’t ask how I know this.
LOL! I won’t.
Oh....those! I hate those!
It is... RADICALLY.
Fing lightweight lol
LOL
