I guess I'm in real trouble - my wife takes prescription pills daily and keeps them in a weekly dispenser to keep track of when she takes them.... Yaaaaawn

The point is that the law has become subjective - they'll enforce that pill box law against you when they want to get you for something else. Everyone is a criminal now, it's just a matter of waiting until the day the government decides you are in its way or have something it wants to seize or know something it doesn't want too many people to find out.

Yaaaaawn

Wouldn't be such a yawner if it happened to you or your wife... I have a close friend who was recently stopped by the police for a traffic violation. When the cops searched her car, they found a prescription bottle containing some of the proper pills, in addition to one "improper" pill, a dose of Xanax which she also had a prescription for. She was charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance.

No problem, right? Take the prescription to court, show the judge get it thrown out... well just the hassle of getting arrested, bailing out, going to multiple court dates (after hiring a lower), missing work to go to these dates, all based on an arcane (and stupid) law is more than cruel and unusual punishment, IMHO, ESPECIALLY for someone who DID NOTHING WRONG.

Hope your wife knows not to let the cops search her car next time she gets pulled over.
