DISHONEST MASSACHUSETTS COPS SLAPPED DOWN BY SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT ON THE “I THOUGHT I DETECTED THE ODOR OF BURNT MARIJUANA” ABUSE

OFF THE WIRE

MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGALIZED IN AMERICA,
 IT IS A "NATURAL" MEDICAL BENEFIT TO THOSE IN PAIN


MASSACHUSETTS: THE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT HAS RULED THAT POLICE IN THE BAY STATE CAN NO LONGER DEMAND PEOPLE EXIST THEIR VEHICLES, THEN CONDUCTING ILLEGAL–WARRANTLESS SEARCHES, BY CLAIMING THE OFFICER(S) DETECTED THE ODOR OF BURNT MARIJUANA.

IN PART THE RULING STATED: “WITHOUT AT LEAST SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL FACT TO BOLSTER A REASONABLE SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, THE ODER OF BURNT MARIJUANA ALONE CANNOT REASONABLY PROVIDE SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY TO JUSTIFY AN EXIT ORDER,” THE COURT RULED IN A DECISION WRITTEN BY CHIEF JUSTICE RODERICK IRELAND.

I APPLAUD THIS LANDMARK RULING BY THE COURT, AND I DON’T SMOKE POT!
THE COURT WENT ON TO SAY THE PEOPLE’S INTENT IN PASSING THE BALLOT QUESTION DECRIMINALIZING THE POSSESSION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA WAS “CLEAR: POSSESSION OF ONE OUNCE OR LESS OF MARIJUANA SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SERIOUS INFRACTION WORTHY OF CRIMINAL SACTION.”

“FERRETING OUT DECRIMINALIZED CONDUCT WITH THE SAME FERVOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURSUIT OF SERIOUS CRIMINAL CONDUCT IS NEITHER DESIRED BY THE PUBLIC NOR IN ACCORD WITH THE PLAIN LANGUAGE OF THE STATUTE,” THE COURT SAID.

FOR FAR TOO LONG POLICE HAVE BEEN LEFT TO RUN ABUSIVE ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF AMERICAN’S AND THIS COURT RULING, EVEN IF ONLY IN A SMALL WAY, MAY BEGIN THE MUCH NEEDED REVERSAL OF THAT TREND.

FAR TOO MANY POLICE OFFICERS HAVE LIED AND CLAIMED THEY DETECTED THE ODER OF BURNT MARIJUANA DURING A TRAFFIC STOP IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCT A SEARCH, AN ILLEGAL SEARCH !

LAST EVENING ON THE LOCAL TELEVISION NEWS REPORT I WATCHED A POLICE CHIEF COMPLAINING ABOUT “WHAT DOES OVER AN OUNCE OF BURNT MARIJUANA SMALL LIKE?” IN RESPONSE TO THE HIGH COURT’S RULING. **IN MASSACHUSETTS ANY THING UNDER AN OUNCE OF MARIJUANA HAS BEEN DECRIMINALIZED.

MY RESPONSE TO THAT POLICE CHIEF IS: A) WHAT DOES A POUND OF BURNT MARIJUANA SMELL LIKE ? A HALF OUNCE ? FIVE JOINTS ?

B) ARE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK SOMEONE, OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE, COULD SMOKE OVER AN OUNCE OF MARIJUANA, A POUND OF MARIJUANA, DURING A RIDE IN THE CAR ?

C) SHOULDN’T YOU BE MORE CONCERNED WITH YOUR OFFICERS “OBEYING“ THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND SECURING THE PROPER LEGAL AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT A SEARCH OF SOMEONE’S AUTOMOBILE, HOME, OR PLACE OF BUSINESS ?
IT IS IDIOTIC THINKING LIKE THAT DISPLAYED BY THIS POLICE CHIEF THAT LEADS TO IDIOTS, BULLIES WITH BADGES, STAMPEDING ALL OVER OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. AS IF THEY, AND ONLY THEY, SHOULD DETERMINE WHAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ACT WHILE POLICING THE COMMUNITY !
THAT ATTITUDE IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE COMMUNIST GESTAPO THINKING, AND NOT EVEN REMOTELY RESEMBLING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!!!
I HAVE NEWS FOR EVERYONE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT DOESN’T AGREE WITH THE COURT’S RULING: ITS THE LAW!! GET OVER IT!!! UPHOLD IT, ITS YOUR SWORN DUTY TO DO SO!!

AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT—QUIT YOUR JOB AND WORK ELSE WHERE!!!

STEP THE FUCK OFF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!!!
