Translation: Police doing their job and obstinate minorities getting in the way. Even in West Virginia. Question: Are you growing marijuana? Answer: I demand your name and badge numbers. This was not a “civil rights violation.” The police are allowed to drive up to your house and allowed to ask you if the marijuana growing in your backyard is stuff you are growing. The black couple made this a “racial” issue.
“The police are allowed to drive up to your house and allowed to ask you if the marijuana growing in your backyard is stuff you are growing.”
The marijuana wasn’t on their property and the police knew this when they approached the neighbors and started the conversation with a very threatening question.
How would you feel if a cop asked you, “Are you growing marijuana?” when that’s a criminal offense?
Agreed. Only people with White Privilege may ask for names and badge numbers.
Any rational person would know better than to to make such an accusation. Marijuana grows, well, like a weed. There was no reason to believe the plants belonged to anyone.
Not surprised they were being obstinate...his wife made it clear they are racists by her statement “about the season we are in”.....she put it right out there in front.
That would have been a red light to me immediately ‘problems ahead’.
Heck I avoid certain checkout clerks in order to avoid potential issues.
It wasn’t in their back yard or even adjacent to their yard and the suspicion that a nearby marijuana grow belongs to them based merely on location is not a reasonable one.
“The police are allowed to drive up to your house and allowed to ask you if the marijuana growing in your backyard is stuff you are growing.”
It wasn’t their “backyard”. And police may be allowed to ask questions, but citizens are allowed to refuse to answer a police officer who is on a fishing expedition with no probable cause. Or even to refuse to answer a police office who has rock solid probable cause.
Damned uppity black people!
The alleged marijuana was nowhere near their house.
The police have NO power to identify you on your own property without a warrant. Doing so IS a 4th amendment violation.
You may now resume licking the boot on your neck.
BS, this was nothing but harassment, then they put handcuffs on this and then put him in a cage, yet the cops doesn’t even bother to show up for the court date???
Total harassment!
File a big lawsuit!
Birds eat marijuana seed and any seeds not digested and viable will grow. At the turn of the last century Fish and game planted marijuana because it was natural forage for game birds they introduced for hunting. Lawyers say don’t talk to police with out a lawyer. It’s not just minorities who should follow that advice.
Try reading the article slick. The terrorist plants were not on their property. All this, as the tons come across the lawless border weekly, as the same GD government rolls out the red carpet for them. They got horrific drugs like mass murdering Fentanyl killing thousands coast to coast, yet these cops are all concerned with some pot plants?
No wonder these cops, after harassing the s**t out of these people didn't even bother to show up in court.
The cop was rude to the couple and the landlord who was retired military.
Please try not to be overtly racist.
I watched the entire video, something I’m not known to do, you are a complete nutter backing these cops. The people harassed in that video are looking at a big payday and your two vundercops will soon be learning to code. Another point, how did they know those very weak MJ plants were there? They were pretty well hidden in the brush. They were scraggly and short for MJ and they didn’t even have buds forming (none that I saw) so there wasn’t even a smell to give them away. Have they been poking around on that property on the sly? Also in the vid, you can see that there is a well worn path going beyond where the cop pulled the plants. It could have been anyone’s weed or no ones at all. These two were nothing but out of control badge monkeys.
There's a bootlicker on every thread. Not as many as they used to be because most of us have figured out that the police are just the enforcers for the police state.
“Translation: Police doing their job and obstinate minorities getting in the way”
No, I don’t think so. I think you’ve got a couple of soon-to-be-former police officers who made a mountain out of a non-existent molehill.
The police are allowed to drive up to your house and allowed to ask you if the marijuana growing in your backyard is stuff you are growing.

Yes, there are. However, you don’t have to answer.
Plus, it wasn’t even growing in his yard.
It wasn’t on their property but “near by”. The cops have no reasonable cause to believe they are growing it. They have no right to ID here. I also don’t believe race has anything to do with it, just bad policing. Cops don’t have the right to demand ID just because there’s weed near by.
No Person in the United States is required to give any information or Identification to any police officer unless said officer can “articulate a reasonable suspicion they have committed a crime or are about to commit a crime”
What is your name?
GO F&CK YOURSELF, I have no duty to tell you anything unless you can demonstrate I have committed a crime...
Sieg Heil
I would charge both officers with Felony Kidnapping while using a Firearm and sentence them both to 25 years in jail General Population.
It’s obvious you’d better lawyer up the very second you’re approached by cops.
You’re not bright enough to defend yourself.
The black couple made this a “racial” issue.
This is your reminder that bort claims to be a lawyer and that he is wrong nearly 100% of the time.
He also is a tyrannical racist.
