this ^^^

the more all of society is persecuted the better off we will all be, cuz it will eventually get to the point where people will stop accepting this bullshit !!!

I saw on the news earlier where in Germany, people are revolting against the police state by destroying surveillance cameras wherever they find them, then posting on YouTube. They get style points for creative methods of destruction. Sounds like a plan....

Germany sounds more and more like a place I wish I lived. They've gone heavily into a solar/distributed grid, have a very high quality of life with lots of social freedoms, and it's a socialist democracy whose economy is kicking ass. Plus it's a big hub for street art, now this camera smash thing.

Maybe I should find a German who wants to marry me.

what?

are you serious?

you have a link?

http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=95836 - "Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training."

Note, this is only the local police of New London, Connecticut.

not taking the piss out of usa pigs, just stating a fact, its the only profession I've ever heard of that tests applicants IQs and rejects people if they score too highly.

thats because the country doesnt want any smart cops thinking for themselves.. and saying to them selves fuck the weed thing.. ill go for big dealers of other drugs.. but if they only knew.. the US.. is supplying ther heroin by trading our troops for heroin. lol its just like everything in this country.. its easier to control a idiot.. then a genius.

This story is so incredible, it's almost unbelievable. These have to be the dumbest pigs on the planet. They are trying to bust an old lady for a bumper sticker! They had guns and full body armor to confront an elderly female! This is like a scene from a Cheech & Chong movie!

"Apparently Ohio State – and college football in general – isn’t very popular in the state of Tennessee.

At least not with the police.

Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, 65, and her husband were driving home to Plano, Texas from Columbus after attending her mother-in-law’s funeral when a pair of black police SUV’s stopped the couple a few miles outside of Memphis.

“Knowing I wasn’t speeding, I couldn’t imagine why,” Jonas-Boggioni told the Columbus Dispatch. “They were very serious. They had the body armor and the guns.”

On the back of Jonas-Boggioni’s car was a Buckeye leaf decal, similar to the one players’ have on their helmets, and cops mistakenly thought it was marijuana leaf.

Yes, really.
What are you doing with a marijuana sticker on your bumper?” one of the cops asked Jonas-Boggioni.

After trying to explain that the sticker was not a marijuana leaf and that she and her husband were not trafficking drugs cross-country, the police advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the sticker as to not cause any more confusion.

You know, just in case there were any other moronic drug cops out there that didn’t actually know what a marijuana leaf looked like.


[Jonas-Boggioni] was too rattled to notice what police department the officers represented. But she suspects that a joint drug-interdiction effort was under way because they had passed several law-enforcement vehicles from different agencies.

Neither the Tennessee Highway Patrol nor the Shelby County sheriff’s office in Memphis had information about the traffic stop. A marijuana sticker would not be a sufficient reason to stop a car, said a spokeswoman for the West Tennessee Drug Task Force.

Regardless, Tennessee police apparently aren't botany experts. If they were, they’d know a marijuana leaf has seven leaflets (see above picture) and a narrow shape as compared to the Buckeye leaf, which is fat and has five leaflets.

At least that’s what it says on the Internet. I have no firsthand knowledge of this.

As for Jonas-Boggioni, she acknowledged the cop’s wishes, but got back in her car without removing the sticker.

“I didn’t take it off,” Jonas-Boggioni told the paper. “This little old lady is no drug dealer.”

Just an avid Ohio State fan.

no doubt, but still illegal for them to pull someone over for a bumper sticker.

no one said cops follow the law

somebody said cops are not worth pissing on but i would .

only if they were not on fire,lol,,s2

 

[MrSterling]

I understand the ire, but police are like any profession where you grant people great power on a tiny scale. As mcnult says on "The Wire", "the patrolling cop on his beat is the one true dictatorship in America". Lots of good cops too, even if they're not as visible as the bad ones. Lots of police are against the war on drugs as well. The war on drugs is institutionalized though, the beat cop doesn't have much choice. Which is all the more reason to urge your local, state, and federal representatives to legalize, or at least decriminalize. Decrim is a half-step, but it undermines attempts at prohibition in neighboring areas.

a "friend" of mine got pulled over in nevada about 20 years ago. after they searched his car and found nothing he asked the cop why he had pulled him over in the first place

the cop told him that in nevada a dead head sticker was "probable cause"

the cops have done whatever they damn well please for a long time

 

[gallito]

Local and state police agencies receive grant monies from the federal gov't. to enforce prohibition. Why not go after low-hanging fruit such as "buck-eye" bumper stickers if it possibly means more money for suv's, guns, taser's, overtime pay, etc.? Then there is also all the salivating over the potential for property seizures. How can a dumb-fuck cop not be seduced by this? What's the worst that could happen? Some 'degenerate druggy' accusing you of profiling? This meets on deaf ears in southern states. The prohibition is rotten and corrupt, thru & thru.

Why get married when they have legalized brothels/sex clubs, just to add a little spice to your life between camera smashing OTOH, if you could find a hot female camera smasher, it might lead to marital bliss....
And the skies are drone free!
The camera smashing is called "Camover".

My thought, too. Why go after a meth lab, that can explode and is full of nasty fumes and crazy, heavily armed people with nothing to lose, when for the same felony bust you can go after a vegetarian with an organic garden and no guns at all?
