John Oliver on police accountability, or lack thereof.

Interesting case before the SCOTUS. Summary - kid is pulled over by the police, told "we got you know" and arrested for vitamins. Police testify under oath that the pills were illegal. Lab tests they had at the time of testimony said the pills were not illegal. He spent weeks in jail.

Ooh. I had to stop reading that.

When I worked in trauma, when we had a particularly obnoxious patient brought in by ambulance who didn't seem to have anything serious wrong with them, threatening them with a urinary catheter was a good way to get them to leave against medical advice--if flashing a couple of 14ga IV catheters didn't do the trick first.

Raid! National Guard, State Police descend on 81-year-old’s property to seize single pot plant





"Margaret Holcomb said she was growing the plant as medicine, a way to ease arthritis and glaucoma and help her sleep at night. Tucked away in a raspberry patch and separated by a fence from any neighbors, the plant was nearly ready for harvest when a military-style helicopter and police descended on Sept. 21."

The cop's degree of panic and incompetence are stunning. There must be a better way to get a mentally ill kid out of car than trying to drag him out. " Sherman tried to jump out of the car and onto the interstate." OK--then let him.

"In the class recorded for “Do Not Resist,” Grossman at one point tells his students that the sex they have after they kill another human being will be the best sex of their lives. The room chuckles. But he’s clearly serious. “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex,” he says. “There’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it.”"

Worth the read

[Gcooker]

The Canadian border guards won't ask if you have a criminal record... they'll ask if you've ever been arrested. Big difference.

The Massachusetts National Guard and the Massachusetts State Police teamed up last month to eradicate a pernicious threat to public safety: a single cannabis plant tucked away in an 81-year-old grandmother’s raspberry patch.



Margaret Holcomb said she was growing the plant as medicine, a way to ease arthritis and glaucoma and help her sleep at night. Tucked away in a raspberry patch and separated by a fence from any neighbors, the plant was nearly ready for harvest when a military-style helicopter and police descended on Sept. 21.

The raid was part of a broader operation that seized 44 plants from Massachusetts residents. No criminal charges were filed, but it’s not clear any charges would’ve stood up in court, anyway, as the surveillance and seizures appear to have occurred without a warrant. According to the Gazette, “Holcomb said he was told that as long as he did not demand that a warrant be provided to enter the property or otherwise escalate the situation, authorities would file no criminal charges.”

Rope ducking might even land you on the no-fly list. Good luck.

Re that single plant marijuana case--sounds like a case for the ACLU. Illegal search and seizure while threatening to arrest the person only if they demand a warrant. Won't get her plant back. And I bet that plant will be a LOT smaller by the time it shows up as evidence in court.
