Teen calls cops after her pot is stolen
Toronto Sun ^ | July 19, 2003 | Jonathan Kingstone

Hey, officer, can you help me get my dope back? A teen called York Region cops Thursday to report her marijuana had been stolen in a street robbery.

They said the case highlights changes officers have seen among youth since an Ontario judge ruled in May that there is no legal basis to ban simple possession of pot.

"They're right in your face about it," Const. Steve Morrell said.

The 18-year-old called police after she was robbed outside Thornhill Public School on Yonge St.

She told police two men forced her to hand over pot worth about $20. One man told her he had a gun.

"She reported it (to police) just like it was a stolen bike or Walkman or purse," Morrell said.

Cops are looking for two suspects.

Police should look for a trail of Oreo wrappers, cookie crumbs or Krispy Kreame wrappers....

Nice. I saw an episode of COPS where some doofus lady called the cops because she got ripped off on a $20 crack deal. They almost arrested her, but in the end they just told her that's the breaks when you're out buying drugs.

Pot is legal in Canada now? That explains a LOT.

For the WOD ping list.

Silly girl. They decriminalize it in Canada, but that doesn't mean you need to go report your stolen weed to the cops. It is kinda 'in your face', and might piss them off.

Accept the loss, go buy another sack. By tonight you'll be giggling about the incident, grateful it didn't get out of hand.

Ahh, and all of our Libertine dopers keep promising us that decriminalizing drugs will reduce crime...

JMO, but some of the Libertarians on this board will consider the "crime" described above, graver than murder and rape.

I name no names. ;^)

The fellows claim to have an entitlement to her dope. It comes with the socialist 'harm-reduction' territory. "Robbery should be legal because otherwise someone might get hurt in the process! Hand over whatever any thief asks for, and if you refuse then you are breaking the law."

The most commonly spoken word in the "Pot Community" is 'ear'.

How about sue the cop? Property is property, and the cops there better shape up.

I look forward to the day when we have a free country again and can spit on ex narcs the way the Germans spit on ex Stasi.

Gotta love that FReeperpage of yours, Dr.

You're a right-thinkin' American. The numbers are dwindling, but one right-thinkin' Americanstill outbalances 1000 bong-brain libertines and loony-tune liberals so there is hope for our great nation yet.

Libertarians don't need a free state project. The pro-dope pro-sodomy paradise of Canada already exists to cater to their self-obsessions and infantile indulgences.

Oh, so do I, and it will come. But it's too early into the decriminilization stage to sue people, some pissed off judge might pull some new 'ruling' out of his/her ass making it illegal in Canada again.

Weren't you also demanding monetary reparations for druggies? I'm sure you were. How much taxpayer money are you entitled to because you have been harassed by the WOD Nazis? Round numbers will be fine.

The seems to be where the pro-dope pro-sodomy courts have been finding their rulings recently.
