It was a small college town in Oklahoma in the 1980s. There were a lot of arrests and prosecutions that were way out of line. I knew another guy who did six months in county lockup for having two marijuana roaches in his ashtray at a traffic stop.
Small town police in the south taught me to be very wary of law enforcement, because they can have a chip on their shoulder and want to make examples or go straight for revenue like pulling you over and ticketing you for what they claim was three miles an hour over their speed trap limits, when the car I had said I was two miles under. There are bad seeds and assholes in all walks of life, and police are no exception. They have the power to ruin your day or a lot more if they decide to do so. The majority of the run-ins I’ve had with cops have been positive, but by no means have they all been.
That’s not right. It’s one thing to catch someone in a crime; it’s another thing to set up the innocent for a crime.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. Metmom holds both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail Metmom if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Homeschool them!
Sounds like entrapment to me.
He sure knew a quick way to get LSD. I think your friend embellished the story.
I knew where to get it if I wanted some, and I never did it. It wasn’t all that uncommon of a thing back then at the college we went to.
