medical There is a simple, common-sense way for police to handle a situation in which they find somebody growing marijuana who claims to be a patient authorized - as patients with a doctor's recommendation have been since November 1996 under California law - to possess, use and cultivate cannabis.

They can take photographs, take copies of documentation and perhaps a few samples and tell the person something like: We're going to check this out very carefully, and if you turn out to be a phony we'll be back to arrest you.

Uncle Sam, we're in a jam
Uncle Sam will rape you in the night
Uncle Sam will see your pretty light
Uncle Sam will know what you've been tokin'
Uncle Sam will will smell what you've been smokin'

Uncle Sam will take from you your things
Uncle Sam knows how much a house brings
Uncle Sam will sell it with a laugh
Uncle Sam will mow all in its path

Ruthless sale of your identity
Ruthless sale of the "land of the free"
Guns around, the police are shooting
The sheep the baaaw and look away from the looting

Uncle Sam will rape your sister and call `er a whore
Then he'll blame it on the Comlumbian war
Uncle Sam will shoot you in the eye
Uncle Sam does it for the kids, no lie....

if cops can't be held ...
personnally accountable for violations of this kind, the
rules need to be changed...

Santa Ana Police Disregard the Law
The previous comment about the cops not caring because the taxpayers will cover it is true. However, a letters of complaint about the individual cops going into their individual records can't hurt.

Eventually every dog has his day.

right lookinside
A huge settlement from the County will no doubt result from the lawsuit....as will numerous lawsuits being pursued in Placer County. The sad thing is, the cops don't care because the taxpayers will cover everything in the end. The P.D. won't suffer for it.

this is a good article
..and it's wonderful to see it in the Register...It's quite rare
to see apiece like this,that has no author,,speak in such a
logical way,,and be critical of questionable law enforcement
procedures....

This would actually have a hard time being called "law enforcement",
it seems to me that it was the opposite of law enforcement,whatever
that would be.

This puts a nice highlight on out of control police actions,and senseless
abuse of already excessive authority......dddd

if there is any justice, he'll have cops on their hands and
knees in the backyard of his new mansion pulling weeds out
with their teeth around his gold plated raised bed medical
pot garden...
