“”Reason” magazine is a well known drug legalizing apologetics effort.
Libertarians are always going on about drugs. “
Well, maybe it’s that “little thing” about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that has them questioning these actions. Georgia,and the entire Eastern Seaboard States have law traffic law enforcement that would make Attila the Hun proud. In GA the Sheriff’s departments used to “take donations” and issue “stickers” that were supposed to get you a break during the double nickel era which were nothing more than extortion under color of authority. Used to be that Ludowici, Georgia was considered by the AAA as the speed trap capitol of the country.
In the realm of "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile", "Reason" may have actually found an example of some real abuse.
There may be a "probable cause" and illegal search and detention thing here, but the problem looks more like an abuse of power with drugs merely being used as an excuse to justify the abuse of power.
It's a shakedown scheme with "drugs" as an excuse.
