Busted after just finishing this drug film!

I had never been in trouble for smoking. I went to a Roots show and leaving was stopped in a road block. I had just got finished with this insane film called Rebel Scum, Sex drugs and rock n' rollin the south.
Mature audiences only!

Now I am on probation for a year and drug tested, fined $1000, drug classes, and community service.. Warning stay out of Douglas County Ga west of the Atl.

Tell me if this looks crazy enough to watch!

 

A road block? Since when do the cops just set up a road block to search every car for drugs? Tell us a little bit more about what happened.

 

It was after a 3 day show called the Echo project. The Douglasville police set up a sobriety check point (roadblock). They knew about the event and were mad that kids would be driving through thier county to get to the show. Mad that they were not going to make any money they tried weeks before the show to have it closed down. When they pulled me over the cop could smell my blueberry (very strong) herb. I had left a joint in my pocket. I spent the next 18 hours in jail.

 

That sucks ass man.

 

soo much ass-sucking

 

Ass sucking indeed. I had to go to drug class tonight.
They showed us yet another video on Crystal Meth. Its fucking stupid I am there for herb and I have too watch this shit. Last week was Cocaine Cowboys. Great film but they keep showing it. I can only take watching dead Colombians for so long. If I could get high it would have killed my high. I just have to wait until they give us pop drug tests. Failed it last week I still have too much THC in my system from smoking kind buds for over 15 years.

 

I don't get it...$1000 bucks for a joint? That sounds hella steep

 

A couple of joints and a pipe. Douglas county has really harsh sentences. I could have gotten maximum 2 years in jail and lost my drivers license for 6 months. I had to take a deal as a first time offender. When I complete the 1 year probation, 36 drug classes, 30 hours of community service and a $1,000 dollars it will be taken off my record. They do not fuck around here it is crazy. This county was a big meth problem a few years ago. The police are 4x bigger then when I moved here 4 years ago. Some of the cops have written books on meth, been in documentaries and go to other towns to help them with their meth problems. They did such a good job here cleaning up meth there is no one to arrest except us pot heads. Atlanta is 25 minutes away and where I work. If I had gotten busted there it would have been a $100 fine. How crazy is that shit.

 

You'd think they would have better things to do...

 

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS et al. v. EDMOND et al.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
No. 99—1030. Argued October 3, 2000–Decided November 28, 2000

Petitioner city operates vehicle checkpoints on its roads in an effort to interdict unlawful drugs. Respondents, who were each stopped at such a checkpoint, filed suit, claiming that the roadblocks violated the Fourth Amendment. The District Court denied respondents a preliminary injunction, but the Seventh Circuit reversed, holding that the checkpoints contravened the Fourth Amendment.

Held: Because the checkpoint program’s primary purpose is indistinguishable from the general interest in crime control, the checkpoints violate the Fourth Amendment. Pp. 3—15.

(a) The rule that a search or seizure is unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment absent individualized suspicion of wrongdoing has limited exceptions. For example, this Court has upheld brief, suspicionless seizures at a fixed checkpoint designed to intercept illegal aliens, United States v. Martinez&nbhyph;Fuerte, 428 U.S. 543, and at a sobriety checkpoint aimed at removing drunk drivers from the road, Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444. The Court has also suggested that a similar roadblock to verify drivers’ licenses and registrations would be permissible to serve a highway safety interest. Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648, 663. However, the Court has never approved a checkpoint program whose primary purpose was to detect evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing. Pp. 3—7.

(b) The latter purpose is what principally distinguishes the checkpoints at issue from those the Court has previously approved, which were designed to serve purposes closely related to the problems of policing the border or the necessity of ensuring roadway safety. Petitioners state that the Sitz and Martinez-Fuerte checkpoints had the same ultimate purpose of arresting those suspected of committing crimes. Securing the border and apprehending drunken drivers are law enforcement activities, and authorities employ arrests and criminal prosecutions to pursue these goals. But if this case were to rest at such a high level of generality, there would be little check on the authorities’ ability to construct roadblocks for almost any conceivable law enforcement purpose. The checkpoint program is also not justified by the severe and intractable nature of the drug problem. The gravity of the threat alone cannot be dispositive of questions concerning what means law enforcement may employ to pursue a given purpose. Rather, in determining whether individualized suspicion is required, the Court must consider the nature of the interests threatened and their connection to the particular law enforcement practices at issue. Nor can the checkpoints’ purpose be rationalized in terms of a highway safety concern similar to that in Sitz, or merely likened to the antismuggling purpose in Martinez-Fuerte. Neither Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806, nor Bond v. United States, 529 U.S. 334, precludes an inquiry into the checkpoint program’s purposes. And if the program could be justified by its lawful secondary purposes of keeping impaired motorists off the road and verifying licenses and registrations, authorities would be able to establish checkpoints for virtually any purpose so long as they also included a license or sobriety check. That is why the Court must determine the primary purpose of the checkpoint program. This holding does not alter the constitutional status of the checkpoints approved in Sitz and Martinez-Fuerte, or the type of checkpoint suggested in Prouse. It also does not affect the validity of border searches or searches in airports and government buildings, where the need for such measures to ensure public safety can be particularly acute. Nor does it impair police officers’ ability to act appropriately upon information that they properly learn during a checkpoint stop justified by a lawful primary purpose. Finally, the purpose inquiry is to be conducted only at the programmatic level and is not an invitation to probe the minds of individual officers acting at the scene. Pp. 7—15.

 

You are right but my lawyer said I only had a 20% chance that I could prove that they were targeting people from the event.It would have cost me over $6,000 in lawyer fees. If I lost it really would have been worse. Great system we have you can prove yourself innocent as long as you can afford it!

 

Let me know if you want to see the film!

He was beaten by the police and his stepfather. So now he beats himself.
Plus he is a little bit insane and is on the methadone clinic.
