freemannabis Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not so "new," news, sad as it is; But, the headlines sure "tell it like it is". "On Wednesday authorities in Michigan raided robbed a medical marijuana complex in Oak Park in full SWAT style. Why do I say robbed? Cops don’t rob people, right? Well, let’s look at the facts." http://the420times.com/2011/01/authorities-rob-michigan-medical-marijuana-complex/ Authorities Rob Michigan Medical Marijuana Complex On Wednesday authorities in Michigan raided robbed a medical marijuana complex in Oak Park in full SWAT style. Why do I say robbed? Cops don’t rob people, right? Well, let’s look at the facts. Sheriff’s deputies raided a building which housed Michigan Medical Marijuana Magazine, a compassion club, and a hydro shop. No one was arrested during this raid, but police confiscated some $20,000 in cash from the business, “as well as from the wallets of the employees and patients.” But why? Under state drug forfeiture laws, the sheriff gets about 80-percent of the money seized and the remainder goes to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office. Oh, seriously? How is this not a plain and simple robbery? Just because they had badges gives them the right to rob people who have not even been accused of breaking a law? The outrageousness of this knows no bounds. To bust in somewhere with bullet-proof vests on and take money from the wallet of someone who has done nothing illegal at gunpoint is THEFT, LARCENY, ROBBERY, whatever word you want to use. The cops in Michigan are completely out of control. Instead of busting real criminals they are busy robbing legal medical marijuana patients; sick people who are buying medicine legally under state law have money taken from their wallets by officers of the law. Absolutely pathetic. These people should feel ashamed of their professions as “peace officers.” They are criminals, no better than a common gang thug. Mod Copied & Paste FREE The CURE!

trix Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I STILL haven't seen any thing about this except just a few sources that to me seem like to be doing the same as we all are "assuming this and that" This is sucha joke the news channels don't even make a statement cause they don't know the FACTS, of this and I applaud them for that. Seems the police would want to make a public statement on this due to the uprising its causing in the community? or this just a case of don't ask don't tell, less that public hears the less it will help us be seen as a legit community being abused by the strong hand of the law. sad sad story =/ everyone I have shared this story with has looked at me in disbelief, "yeah right, I haven't seen anything on the news", then they read the article and are in awe that this had happened as am I!!

phaquetoo Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 people im realy sorry! I know we voted and the law was passed! but the only way we are going to be safe is to lay low! There are enough court cases going now, and there will be plenty more as more become registerd and growing and blabbing their mouths to every one they know! dont tell peeps you are an mm patient, its ok to educate people but you dont have to tell them your legal, just that you approve and believe it is one of the best meds for several ailments! Truly the only people that should know you are legal is your spouse and kids and c.g. and kids should be educated at home and what goes on at home stays at home or their are conseqeunces to big mouths!

Peace FTW Jim I agree to a certain extent in light of what is currently going on (especially if you do not have deep pockets to fight the Nazi & Gestapo tactics of The Three Stooges in a court of law.) However, this law is suppposed to protect us. From where I sit, nobody did ANYTHING illegal or against the law in Oak Park, Waterford, or Ferndale.

mayorshaggy37 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I am doing a documentary on the problems with Medical Marijuana in Michigan. I have an interview in Detroit on Weds with an attorney for the movement. Is there anyone who I can get an interview with that went through this? Let me know if anybody would like to speak out. I don't believe in the lay low tactic. I don't think we should run out on the streets everyday letting everybody know, but inaction on these issues is letting them win. If we lay low and hide that is everything against what the law is for. They win if we hide as if we're in a Communist country. Don't be afraid and let our voices be heard. The truth must get out.

BubbleBerryKush Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I still dont understand how they can "confiscate" anything if nothing illegal was going on.....and then on top of that, they get to chop it up with the prosecutor.... I think this is what we have to notify the general public of....what if police walked into your job (DR office, sales office, etc..) shook everyone down for money, told them nothing they were doing was illegal, and just kept their money and told them to go back to work and they would be notified if any other action would be taken in the future. sounds a bit ridiculous to me....

herbnurse Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I am sure charges are sending which allows them so keep what was taken.

bobandtorey Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 The Michigan Marijuana Law Has done nothing to stop these thugs from attacking the sick and dieing.

Darn POTHEADS deserve to rot in prison they do .Myself im tired of be treated as if i were 8 years old and i dont know whats best for me . Need a Government Moron to tell me my needs.
