Police Misconduct Catch All Thread

That's why I voted against legalizing it when it came up in Alaska.

That makes no sense to me.

The best way to avoid bureaucratic hassling is to take the government out of the process. In other words, legalize.

How hard is that to understand?

Ha Ha. That's not how it works in the real world. The government controls the whole system. Taxes, licenses, zoning, quality, etc.
I knew it would happen in Alaska, and it did. The only way the repugs would let it even get on the ballot is if the state would get their cut.

Good grief it was an obvious joke about officers who think they are above the law.

Joking is futile with many of our members, who would be classified by DSM-5 as kleptomaniacs.*










* They always take things, literally

The only way to take government out of any process is to do it extra-legally.

Legalization of anything is literally putting the government in control of that thing.

Looks like the officer thought his badge exempted him from the laws of physics.

I don't think so. Rather, I think the officer believed the whole thing was a cover, that it was really a grow. He didn't respect the MRI because he didn't think it was real.

This looks more like a job for tax division or the control board not the SWAT team.
Stupid!

Tax division?

The cops thought it was an illegal grow operation. That's not something you send the tax guys to.

I have a big problem with high power use being considered adequate evidence of a grow operation, but I don't see cops thinking the laws of physics don't apply.

My point was that people that grow illegally are probably just trying to avoid the bureaucratic hassle involved in the licensing process.
And the taxes.
I don't know about CA, but in Alaska you need a Lawyer to navigate the paper work.
It is probably the same in most states.

A lot of the growers really don't like the legal system. It does things like prohibit improper pesticides and other such safety issues.

I have changed my mind about the gov control of weed. It is safe and I know what I am getting. And it is cheap.

I don't know about paperwork for retail pot stores but to grow your own requires no paperwork here.

Must be nice living in Jamaica.

Edit: Cannabis remains illegal under federal law in the United States.
