Drug Search

Police did $12,000 worth of damage to a car during a drug search and turned up nothing. During a traffic stop officers thought they smelled marijuana and had the car impounded. Three weeks later the owner received the damaged car back and the insurance totaled it. They were not amused!

I came across THIS yesterday. It also ties in with recent comments regarding the french, notice how the "french speaking dog" changes sides! :coolsmile:

No French speaking dog just Cheech & Chong doing a brownie commercial. Good stuff though.

I just don't think that to be true JTolleridge. It's a tough job. If you do it right, people still dislike you. If you do it wrong (as seen here) you get more attention that you care for. Not to mention they see so much crap on a daily basis that would taint anyone. If no one does it, then it becomes survival of the best armed.

JTolleridgse's statement reflects the loss of respect that happens when the police are forced to enforce laws that are not popular with the people!

JTolleridge's comment, if made about African Americans, Jews, or any other ethnic group would never be tolerated. NO group should be judged by the few bad apples, as there are a few bad apples in any group.
