The snide-arrogant attitude that is shown during the 'reporting' of TV news on the subject of MMJ drives me nuts. The power elite and wannabe movers and shakers put on a show every time the subject comes up to cover the facts with their spin to put the MMJ advocates into a bad light. Yes, getting a red card was terrifying for me too, I have met a few of the idiot-arrogant-entitled govt employees who handle this 'secure' paperwork and am not impressed by their ability to do their jobs correctly. I expect that the cops, both local and feds have already gained full access to the records and are just waiting for the opportunity to pick thru the records to use when it serves their own interests. I have spoken to 2 pot lawyers about the security of the red card database and they both advised that you should not be listed as both a firearms owner/concealed carry and red card holder because there will likely be a cross reference done in the future. Yes, there have been cases where this rights successfully defended in court, but keep in mind that the cops don't care about the outcome of the case particularly, they are just interested in seeing the traffic-ing of people thru the (their) system in order to keep their jobs secure so they can continue paychecks and pensions. The system needs fixing, but it won't be changing anytime soon. So, yes, you should be worried about having your name on a red card, but there is safety in numbers and if there are 1 million people registered it helps to dilute their ability to fuck with us. Still, some of us will get fucked with as that is how they feed their families.
