There's a near certitude this will be overturned by a higher court. There is precedent.
The only caveat: If there is no medical MJ law in Kansas, and if simple possession is a felony.

Fourth amendment.... is that from that archaic constitution thingy?
In CA, people put their stems and leaves in the yard recycling bin.
Only the Feds could get a warrant.
Medical MJ users are not registered, and finding even REAL pot in the recycle bin or garbage is not probable cause in CA.
Problem is, I've heard you can't find them anywhere. Seems the State Dept. has bought them up, and are using them to make foreign policy decisions.
These kinds of raids increase the likelihood of a gun owner being killed accidentally. The narrative will be that they'd still be alive if they hadn't been armed.
My point was not about this case, and was not written as such.
It was very simple; watch out for Balko. He is a far-far leftist, huge-Obama lover trying to wrap his articles in Conservatism.
So, get a confirmation of the allegations from other sources. The old saw about blind squirrels and acorns still holds.

It’s even better from the 9th floor of Wesley Hospital! Yee-Haa!
Hell, for a $7 million law suit, I’d have my local tac squad over in a heartbeat. That family is going to have a nice new house and car, pay off all their debts, a Caribbean cruise and some real good BBQ parties comin’ up. And their town is going to get a brand new police chief!

OK, WHAT is this picture all about???? How can you post a picture and NOT say anything about it?
That hilarious. I especially like how Kerry's head has been photoshopped in so it appears nearly as large as the eight ball. ; )
If the FedMob keeps pushing they’re going to create probable cause for something they can’t handle.
