MRI machine probably draws quite a bit
The real takeaway here is that they bullshitted smelling an odor of cannabis when there was none as an excuse to justify starting the raid in the first place. Some officer(s) lied on a form somewhere.
I don't know if there is any single takeaway here, this story is just fucking ridiculous on every single level.
This can't be real. I'm fucking dying over here. Please let there be bodycam footage of the cop speaking in a high pitched voice after. (I know the helium was probably not released into the room, but one can hope I guess)
All those writers and directors who were laughed at and mocked have now been vindicated.
The sealed shutdown was definitely behind glass which the cop smashed with the nearest object just like in every movie
Didn't they recently rule that cops can no longer use the "I smelled weed" excuse as reasonable suspicion/probable cause? Maybe that was just one state.
Seems doubly ridiculous that this happened in California
And if it did smell like weed near the MRI place, you know what I'd suspect? That's a venn diagram with cancer patients in the middle.
You really want to crack down on cancer patients?
The answer has always been yes.
Look, WA was one of the first states to legalize, just weeks after CO. There was a police officer in Seattle who had to be reassigned because he kept writing tickets to people with weed even though it was legal. The point? Right-wing nuts are antisocial.
Arizona was sending people to prison even though they had the medical marijuana card on them. It took the State Supreme Court to tell them they couldn't just redefine words to say the new law didn't count for edibles and vapes.
You are using critical thinking. Please stop.
I'm sorry, you've been disqualified from any chance of employment as a police officer. You've shown entirely too much critical thinking here.
i think that was illinois during traffic stops
It has personally saved my ass 👍
That was Illinois but honestly it's just obvious in any state with a recreational/medicinal use law.
It's ridiculous they're allowed to keep using it as an excuse in general.
claiming the odor of pot is, was, and will always be a bullshit lie and manufacturing of probable cause.
Is it even a justification? That's legal in California.
It is until the court system tells them it isn't. Illinois recently did that.
Cut off the motherfucker's nose, let's all recognize potsmeller when he's walking down the street.
Argh, the fucking police being powertripping cunts really gets me going.
Or an employee regularly smokes a joint in the alley. Article says there was one employee in the office during the raid.
Yep. And that would have been legal anyway. This was really about ring-wing zealots being right-wing.
"Doctors are just a bunch of overeducated assholes who think they are smarter than everyone else. What could they possibly be doing with all that electricity?"
"Experts- what do they know? I definitely smelled weed."
"Do you think it's the clearly sick looking person in a gown standing outside the building labeled a medical facility with a handrolled cigarette that smells like weed?"
"Nah, that's just someone who is buying weed from them."
"Trust me, I'm an expert."
Not after dumbass broke it.
it most certainly drew a lot of energy while the gun was inside of it lol
