Assuming these "field tests" weren't a complete invention of "the authorities", I'd like to know exactly what these fields tests are, the frequency with which they produce incorrect positives, the number of people arrested because of these field tests, etc.
Of course, they'll never provide any of that. The cops will just drop it, act like it never happened and arrest the next chooch on the basis of their "field tests", which is probably just their belief that somebody looks guilty of something.
They had an officer on CNN or something this morning stumbling over why the field test was positive but not the lab test. He didn’t sell me at all and then he tried to say that someone down the line might have come into contact with marijuana or something in the past. I heard that and went hmmm, doesn’t just about every dollar bill out there have some type of residue possibly then?
We will see. I will be asking the questions, though. It is my fair city, after all.

The derision level from the group in the store was pretty high.
This won't be happening again.
The chief did the right thing by dropping it when the scientific results came back, and the public scorn over the event has the PD pretty much back where they belong.
The kid has learned a life-lesson.
Seems like the true hacks in all of this are the BM LEs.
