Here is the problem.Local jails receive funds from the state when someone is incarcerated.To put it simply,the county makes money if they put someone in jail.My son was put in jail for six months for a drug charge he did not commit.His bail was extraordinary and did not want me to bear this.They finaly let him out and dropped all charges,reason,no evidence.They kept him in there so they could receive state funds.By the way,the DA owned the jail building and leased it to the county,tell me that ain't sick.

I'm sorry, eastforker; I do not support the State prosecution of non-violent drug offenses allegedly committed on Private Property.

I think that taxpayers have a Property Right to kick drug dealers off of sidewalks and school grounds paid for by our tax-dollars, but if the alleged "offense" was committed on Private Property I do not believe that it should have been prosecuted at all.

Other than that, I am not sure what to say in your son's case. :-(

The key is,they had no evidence and no probable cause,period.It's a money thing ,it makes there job more secure.

15 years ago I punched some guy for harassing a nice girl at a friendly beer keg gathering

Doesn't sound like a completely friendly gathering. :-)

So selling 50 KGS of cocaine is not a crime in your eyes as long as it is on private property?
