Regarding the marijuana possession, is being charged the same as being cited?
GREAT JOB LE, KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB!
soooo...460 veh {but likely more than 1 person per veh} all these constitutional rights were violated to catch 4 law breakers. And how much grant money {were all aware the state and fed pay extra for this exercise}did the participating depts receive for doing these constitutional violations?
How do you figure? Violate rights by stopping everyone instead of active patrols? How about go out there and be cops instead of nazi government agents.
The 4TH Amendment.
The police stop and search you because they think you are guilty. You get to leave only after you PROVE YOURSELF INNOCENT.
I'm sure the Founding Fathers LOVED the idea of searching 450+ innocent citizens (by ARMED men) to catch THREE of the intended targets. THREE.
Three.
If anyone doesn't think that one day we will see "random" unannounced, warrant-less neighborhood house "checks", then you are delusional.
It won't matter whether or not you are doing anything wrong because THEY decide what is wrong, and besides, all those drivers we stopped and searched weren't doing anything wrong, either, and you didn't say anything then.
And no matter how insulted or offended you are when they burst into your bedroom, remember, "if you aren't doing anything wrong, don't worry"
Also remember --- aim for the head.
Keep cheering.
