More lunacy in the “drug war”
Heard on the radio this morning that Snoop Dogg was arrested yet again, and one of the charges caught my attention:
Rap artist Snoop Dogg was arrested on weapons and narcotics charges Tuesday evening after being pulled over by Burbank police following a television performance.
So I did a little research, and found that our fair state of Georgia too has a “secret compartment” law:
As used in this Code section, the term:
(1)(A) ‘False or secret compartment’ means any enclosure which is integrated into or attached to a vehicle and the purpose of the compartment is to conceal, hide, or prevent discovery by law enforcement officers of:
(i) A person concealed for an unlawful purpose;
(ii) Controlled substances possessed in violation of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of this title; or
(iii) Other contraband.</i>
So lets get this straight. You can no longer do with your own property as you so desire, simply because you might have “contraband” in it?
How we, as a nation, have allowed ourselves to get this fucking stupid, is beyond me. Evolve people, evolve!
