Supreme court ruling on K9 units...

What do you guys think??

I think this is awesome. Police are losing power over us slowly but surely.

Seems like good news, but there is too much room for bad cops to create probable cause. They'll deter you, find any little thing, and use that to manufacture probable cause. Beyond this, cops are often caught murdering people, even on video, and get a paid vacation for their efforts. I wonder how concerned they are over probable cause for traffic stops. When they pull you over without probable cause, either you're clean and they let you go, or you choose to bring charges against the officers (better make sure your entire life is SQUEAKY clean) and nothing happens. I appreciate the sentiment, Supreme Court, but I don't see much changing...

I saw that too and it doesn't really change much because it says the cops can still detain you if they feel they have a reason. We waste more time on BS like this, when we could be doing something productive like taking MJ out of the Schedule 1 drugs list.

Yep. I don't understand how it can be on schedule 1 when the us gov't holds a patent on MJ as medicine, and they grow weed for patients. This, and they claim it has no medicinal value? I never hear advocates for MMJ stating these facts, why? I must be missing something...

Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Anthony Kennedy vote NO....Yet the R's give us more rights--buIIshit

kennedy, you are quickly getting on my shit list. first dismantling the voting rights act, now this? FUCK YOU.

this is exactly why it is important to vote for democrats. they appoint the judges who rule in our favor on things like this.

I got pulled over by a k9 unit in Texas. The dude was a fucking dick. He came outta nowhere. I just got done smoking a joint and had 7 more prerolled in a baggy I was able to hide in my moccasins at the last second. He said he pulled me over because one of my tags was expired " in his system", I had just got new tags put on the day before, and they were clearly new. he had me stand away from the car and my little brother next to the car, whom has mental disabilities. And was questioning us separately just asking what we were doing, and he was a Hyde dick about it.. are stories didn't add up because my brother is disable and my bro basically told him he had trouble distinguishing reality. The whole time the cop had a Shitty grin and would smirk as if he new he got me. At the end, he asked if he could search my car, I said no, he gets the dog out and searches my car fucking inside and out, even poking around in the engine. When he didn't find anything, the smirk was gone, he was clearly pissed, gave me a warning, and I went on my way. I think I'm more fucked up now because of that incident.

the "land of the free" is anything but. My philosophy, if you aren't harming anybody then carry on and do what makes you happy.
