Ridiculous story that happened to my friend. (about marijuana)(100%srs)

[Ath88]

I just found out that this happened to my friend in who lives in Brooklyn. This story is true.

On the morning of 2/17 around 5am 4 police officers with automatic weapons busted down his front door and made their way to his room. He woke up and a few seconds later he stood up to see what the noise was. 2 cops ran into his room looked at him and one of the cops ran towards him and tackled him. They put him in handcuffs originally but because he was yelling and asking what he did wrong they tied his legs as well and carried him out to their car. They took off to the police station without closing his front door. Eventually he was able to talk to someone and he was told that the police were tipped off that he had marijuana in his house. 2 hours later the police returned to the station with all the marijuana they found. 0.6 grams. (for everyday users that amount is basically enough to get high one time only). They tore up his entire house to look for that. He spent 14 hours in jail and charged him with posession and intent to sell. (they found plastic bags on the counter in the kitchen and claimed he was going to use the bag to bag up weed to sell.

It really pisses me off that something as simple as a plant can be illegal. My friend is going to try to get a lawyer and take the police that tackled him to court.

Discuss...

No cliffs (if you can't take time to read the story gtfo)

Seems dramatized a little but f*cked up if true

[UselessScumStain]

He got off easy. Anyone found with over 0.1 grams of Marijuana should have to pay $2000 fine and up to 30 days in prison.

I know he got a fine but not sure how much

[spaztikid]

Damn. That's insane.

[DiamondSwagg]

I got the feeling they are just trying to get him to snitch on his dealer....then they will try to move up on the ladder until they get the international supplier.

[Jayl12345]

I love it when people justify breaking the law with "Its only a plant."

Cops work based on tips. If they were wrong(which they weren't) they have to pay for damages.

Maybe that should work for other lesser crimes.

"What's the big deal? Its only a little kiddie porn?"

He's not a dealer though. No one tipped off that he was a dealer, they just said he had weed

[Kylehero]

Yeah, that ****in sucks man. I understand the cops are doing their job, but WTF MANE??!?!?

Intent to sell with .06 and bags in the ****in kitchen? REALLY?

I had a buddy get busted like that with flakes in his ashtray. That minor "slip up" costed him 6 months of house arrest and a year of probo.

[UselessScumStain]

not everyone who smokes is a burnout. doctors and lawyers smoke. i mean, i work at a gas station, but they're out there

[BrotatoChip]

This never happened, it's impossible to be charged with 'intent to sell' with 0.6 grams.

You think it's justified to rip up someone's house over 0.6g of weed? That's a flat out waste of police and public resources.

I agree with this.

One thing that also seems to skip the minds of marijuana users is that they are in essence also aiding in the market of other illicit drugs. The big shots that sell weed also sell ex, dope, coke, lsd, etc.

[spaztikid]

Coincidently the DEA and sfpd raided a law professors house today with a bullsht warrant and found no mj. The law prof. intends to sue.

[thefugate]

lmao your tax dollars at work

brb calling in a swat team because somebody is like REALLY liking a bag of cheetos and watching yo gabba gabba in their pajamas

[DiamondSwagg]

He's not a dealer though. No one tipped off that he was a dealer, they just said he had weed

People who have weed buy from people who sell weed. They want to know who sells weed. Scare him into thinking they'll give him a couple years and its very possible he will snitch.

You're right, cops shouldn't take tips seriously in case they don't pan out.

"We have a tip there's a serial killer in this house... but we can't be sure, so lets ignore it."


Brilliant argument.

[ajb191]

Legal or illegal, personally I use it. I don't see anything wrong with it. Although it is just a plant it is still illegal and the police are doing their job at trying to prevent it. But I mean tearing a place apart on a tip and and only finding .6 is ridiculous. Just wasting taxpayers money on nothing.

how can you compare kid pron with marijuana? and if marijuana is so bad why is it legal in california? herp derp

Amount spent on Marijuana law enforcement each year: $9 billion
Number of people who have overdosed on Marijuana: 0

Money well spent.

If stoning is so bad why is it legal in the middle east? herp derp

Your comparing child porn to marijuana?those two subjects are so far off. Who is the victim when someone is smoking marijuana? Child porn is offensive and abusive. Weed is a plant. It just grows like that. It's not a drug and it's not as bad as propaganda will tell you. It's insane that someones house is broken into, they're tackled and charged with crimes they didn't commit because they have a plant. You obviously don't know much about weed. Pls go

oh my. so you think you should obey the law at all times? Thats like saying in the 1800s that people who helped slaves escape should be in jail for commiting a crime.

it is just a plant. Drug use is a victimless crime, and is not comparable to child porn at all

I agree with this.

so? whats wrong with those drugs? all drugs should be legal

How many people have driven while high and caused accidents? Marijuana does have negative effects despite what the activists tell you.

You don't bust someone's door down over "tips". You investigate and make the move when you have reasonable suspicion (also known as solid evidence).

[Water_American]

Just being tipped off by someone isn't enough to bust down a persons door with automatic weapons. He would not be charged with intent to sell for .6 g's. This story is not real, and this never happened. FACT.

[Ath88]

Ya even a large percentage of politicians have tried weed sometime in their life.
