The "asinine" tag must have the day off. How is this in any way remotely "cool"?

Fix the cigarette lighter.

Two million bust doesn't sound too impressive for a police force when you factor in the reason for that groundbreaking arrest was a minor traffic violation and possesion of a dime bag of weed.

/people still buy dime bags?

$10 worth of weed

do I even need to say anything

Look let's just get something straight here. The reason he got locked in the slammer in the first place was for sticking up a gas station to cover you guys.

He's a turrist. Take away his right to vote and put him on the sex offender register. Then flog him in public.

/ Oh oh I'm getting myself excited now.

Yeah, that's pretty pathetic. In the town I live in (also in Illinois) a dime of weed is a $250 fine. No court, no arrest, pay the ticket and go on with your life.

And if that was the policy for Chicago, hell all of Cook county, there'd be a lot fewer people in the jails, which would be a damn good thing. Also would make a fark ton more money. Hauling people in and processing them does not come cheap.

Not just a $10 bag of weed. A $10 bag of weed and a pretextual traffic stop to justify arrest and seizure of evidence.

Right, but that would make sense. Sensible drug policy? In my America?

They just did it around here because they had so many people getting busted on meth-related charges that they were filling the courts. So they made possession of under 2.5 grams of weed a $250 fine to clear out some space. It's a college town, so the under-2.5g charge was one they saw a lot of and changing the punishment made a good deal of difference in the overall number of court cases.

It's a very rural, conservative area, so I imagine it had very, very little to do with being nice to pot smokers, sadly.

Imagine how many of those arrests were actually justified.

Well, yes, but it's way a lot smaller than the one you're thinking of.

 
archer1005 2009-07-04 10:02:07 PM  
Is that two million bookings or two million guys? Because if that's two million bookings, in Cook County that's like eight guys.

 
simpsonfan 2009-07-04 10:39:31 PM  
They could increase it if they arrested dead people. hey, if the dead can vote, they should be eligible to be arrested too.

 
eggi541 2009-07-05 12:03:11 AM  
Can't believe the 420 crowd has not sprang up and called the arresting officer a pig, etc. Spose they are all sleeping in or something. I figured by now there would be 300 posts accusing the cop of planting evidence or being a jerk for enforcing the law. Surprised.

It can't be as bad as the cabbage rolls at the Terre Haute Federal Pen.

This is mostly due to the strength of the SCMODS system.

So what's it like being such an assumptive, ignorant asshole?
