The lesson I would have learned from it is to stay the hell out of Houston.
I have put my pills in a zip lock bag if I am going to stay over at someone’s house before, they are my damned pills for my stomach condition dammit! Then I don;t have to mess with the container I can just toss the bag when I am done with them, am I breaking the law?
Hell we are all criminals of the police state...
"... Wherein it states they found PCP ..."
I don't care if they found a dismembered corpse in the trunk amidst a pile of kilo bricks of cocaine -- leaving the dog to wander into interstate traffic could have caused one or more traffic fatalities from someone swerving to miss the dog.
Why any agency would allow a demonstrable idiot with such a breathtaking lack of common sense to wander around with a badge and a gun and deal with emotional folks (99% of LEO calls) is absolutely, mind-numbingly, impossible to comprehend.
I wonder why PETAs not on the this? They’re up your ass on everything else animal related.
I’m wondering if the driver consented to the search thinking it was no big deal because he’d done nothing wrong.
NEVER consent to searches.
I also wonder if the real purpose of this pretext search was to obtain an expensive SUV for forfeiture. I would like to know how robust the HPD’s forfeiture account is.
““prescription drugs belonging to the passenger were found””
“””I call BS”””
Yes. Sounds strange.
Probably was marijuana.
They are dog haters!
We have an elderly Chihuahua that we love. We’ve had her for over 10 years. We don’t know exactly how old she was when we got her.
We got her from an elderly woman that said the dog had belonged to her son, but he could not take properly care of her. He was a cop...................
Funny.
Little old lady here and my little-old-lady pill boxes are amber.
Handy little things.
.
“prescription drugs belonging to the passenger were found.”
I think if they are not in the original drugstore bottle with the intact label, you can get into trouble. So if you have your daily meds in one of those fliptop things with the date on them you could be in violation of some law.
I think those are made in Mexico by the Zeta cartel. /s
“Wherein it states they found PCP.”
Don’t confuse people with facts or rationality
Hate is what is important.
If you want changes, the cops have to fear you. Unless a thousand people are willing to act near violently, there is no reason why they will change.
“Some facts are missing, here”
Yes. Drugs were PCP, not a prescription drug.
Nothing said the charges were dropped on the passenger with the drugs.
A buddy indirectly works for ASP. He goes to gun and tactical stores to see what stock they need. Most people in that biz are former law enforcement so when he goes to these places it is not uncommon for cops who hang out to assume he’s ex pd. The things he tells me about these guys would turn your stomach. A common story is cops gleefully telling him they need a new baton because they beat a citizen so badly the old one broke. This may be a small sample size but until the “good” cops get rid of the bad ones they are all bad cops.
Hi Grace,
You always make things up out of thin air like this?
It was not on the highway proper but on the feeder road.
“I don’t care if they found a dismembered corpse in the trunk amidst a pile of kilo bricks of cocaine — leaving the dog to wander into interstate traffic could have caused one or more traffic fatalities from someone swerving to miss the dog.”
Yes. Exactly.
There is a strange leftist psychology at work here where it is comforting to people,on these threads to think cops are totally corrupt and never ever do anything that is not purposeful abuse of fully innocent people.
Dog should not have been left in this way (assuming it’s true) no matter what the circumstances.
Your personal property, your business.
We’re talking about the cops here. They work for us. They need to remember that.
To harm an elderly dog for no reason is worthy of a WHOLE LOT of whupass.
We are looking at how WE will be treated in the future.
