How much meth can you make with 2 boxes of Sudafed anyway?
I could be wrong but I think Gadsden County is the only county in Florida with a majority Black population.
They don’t bother arresting the real criminals. Too dangerous. Crooks carry guns. Crooks have good lawyers. Crooks get away with crimes. Crooks are minorities, and evoke sympathy.
MUCH easier to arrest honest, law-abiding citizens. They don’t squawk. They don’t have guns. They don’t know how to fight a corrupt legal system. Gets the arrest numbers up. Good statistics mean regular raises.
Maybe it’s time to start calling them what they are:
Terrorists with Tin.
They do some crap like this to take the attention away from the fact that they aren’t going after the real druggies who have paid them off or scared them off.
catch-all excuse to arrest and harass without probable cause
So did the druggist call the cops? How did the cops know about the purchase?
I thought criticism of police was banned from being posted on Free Republic?
"Almost immediately," defendant Officer Moore drove up in an unmarked police car, Goodson says. Moore blocked her and her husband's car, prevented them from leaving, and asked if she had just bought Sudafed... (snip)
Almost immediately.
Even 911 calls don't get answered almost immediately.
Now how do you supposed this happened?
Looks like the Warrant was issued because they refused to allow a blanket
search, on the premise they were guilty of something or they would allow the
invasion of their home because they bought legal Drugs.
The next step would be the violation of Civil rights and suing the hell out of them.
Time to end the DemcoRat enacted WOD and replace it with Republican enacted freedom.
I’m in favor of the war on drugs, basically, but I think it should be more anti-drug media pressure that carries the effort. Here in Florida, both lower income whites and blacks are perma-stoned, with whites being particularly given to meth so they’re not only stoned but angry. And they’re both unemployable.
That said, I have strange allergy flare ups (probably mold) for which only pseudoephedrine works. I used to order it from an on-line pharmacy in Canada because they had the only product I liked (Allerest) which seemed to have a low dosage and did not make me feel weird. I had to send them all my passport information to get it!
Then I found I could get 4-hour tablets of a generic brand here...and I started doing that. Now you can get almost nothing and it’s ridiculous. I don’t know the actual limits because I have decided that it’s just easier to suffer than to go and be treated like a drug dealer at my local CVS.
I was in New Mexico with my sister (NM, famous for Breaking Bad) and she bought some allergy pills and then, right after buying them, discovered that they were 12-hour, which she doesn’t like. She wanted to exchange them for 4-hour tablets, because the headache and congestion are usually gone by then or they won’t go at all, but the pharmacy wouldn’t let her, and she had bought her limit for whatever period of time it was. So I bought the 4-hour pack, and I was surprised that there weren’t cops waiting outside the door for us.
A lot of this is done, I think, to discredit the anti-drug movement. There’s no reason to make it this cumbersome; people who want to make meth get their stuff somewhere, no matter what.
All the authorities need to do is see if somebody is buying 20 packs of allergy meds a day and go from there. But harassing normal purchasers of allergy meds is clearly meant to impinge on the middle class and make them oppose the “war on drugs” because they blame it for making it impossible for them to buy some minor medication that would make their headache go away.
This type of abuse won’t stop unless there is personal liability by the police officers. Otherwise, they will fight her with her own taxpayer dollars and, if she wins, the award will be made with taxpayer dollars.
This news is nothing to sneeze at.
Beware! We are losing control of all law enforcement from the local police to the courts. A huge population of the police are letting the tin badge go to their heads.
Goodson seeks punitive damages for false arrest, false imprisonment, Fourth Amendment violations and negligence.
She is represented by Marie Mattox, of Tallahassee.
Good for her.
Obama’s Brown Shirts in training. Anyone out there believe that they won’t turn on the population as soon as Obama issues the command?
Welcome to the former United States of America, Land of the Free. We are now a police state. Run by the federal government. Assisted by politicians. Assisted by butt kissing military officers who kiss Obama’s butt to make rank after having over 200+ officers kicked out. I just got yesterday an email from Military.com that says that over 25 captains were in Afghanistan and were being kicked out of the military just as soon as they get back to the States. Another Obama cutting of qualified combat officers. Just as Stalin did.
I didn’t see how the Sheriff knew she had bought the Sudafed unless the helpful pharmacist made a call after upselling her to a trigger limit. I think someone is missing from the lawsuit.
Most folks wouldn't load up on an OTC drug without having tried it first. This stuff is not cheap. What happens if there is an adverse reaction? As hard as Sudafed is to buy, how hard is it to return for refund? Odd.
Another thing: If I submit false & misleading evidence to a judge, I am guilty of perjury & obstruction of justice. Why haven't these 2 cops been arrested?
