The "legalize it" and "lock 'em all up" crowds will be here in 5...4...3...2...1...
Judge Dude... Since you dropped the charges, can I have my weed back?
Small town. Same judge?
So these guilty dopeheads were idded in possession of drugs, but because they got a judge looking to abuse a loophole, they got off and now are suing.
Trash is trash.
Wait until they are hit with avoiding the FEDERAL sales tax on drugs!
They'll wish they didn't bitch about the misdemeanor charges!
Sandpoint is a small resort town on Lake Pend d'Oreille.
We used to own property there. Lovely place but you need
to bring money. No real jobs. Lots of strange folks and
I wouldn't want to be a landlord there again...
The machinery needs occasional adjustments.
The 4th Amendment is not a "loophole."
Twisting the interpretation of reasonable suspicion is. The cop suspected based on appearance or actions that the person had drugs. Turned out they did, and his suspicion was correct. It wasn't an unreasonable search, except to dopers and this judge (perhaps one and the same?)
If it is a common side effect of dope use, then yes. Note that if the dopehead hadn't had drugs on him/in his car, he wouldn't have been charged. But he did.
The 4th Amendment is not a "loophole."
It most certainly is to the drug warriors the 9th and 10th amendmants use to be a loophold but the have successfully had those"loopholes" closed by supreme court now they are working on closing out the 5th, 2cd,and 1st amendment "loopholes"
Plus they want their drugs back.
It's not. Trust me, I've been around plenty of dopers. Now, if he was searching for Sour Apple Jolly Ranchers...
Ridiculous victimology nonsense with little parallel.
Fair enough. If what you say is true, let that guy walk this time, but no compensation, the idiot was in possession. As to the others, no.
