Re: WTF in America
Fixed my link. I can't fix JGs quoted link. The other one was one I posted in the "What made you smile" thread. Not sure why I still had that on my clipboard.
Must pay more attention. That kind of error could be (more) embarrassing.

As soon as I saw Sex With Miniature Horse in the OP, I said to myself Florida, then I read it in the line below. This guy looks like he could be little brother to the nut that mailed the pipe bombs. Last night's A Closer Look on Seth Meyer's show has a segment on Florida's preponderance of whackos.

On radio 5 now.
Three months in jail because a cop thought candy floss was meth. It took three months for the lab to test it.

Talk about excessive bail, but that is the US justice system, those who are not wealthy and can afford a good lawyer end up jailed.

Re: WTF in America
Probably should stop jailing people until there is proof a crime was committed, not acceptable to jail someone for months while waiting for lab results, and wtf if the road side tests cant tell the difference between drugs and sugar, police should stop using them.

Got to feed that prison system somehow. Don't you just love for-profit policing?

Re: WTF in America
I'm curious how much she's suing for; at a million per year 3 months should be worth $250,000, regardless of what a judge knocks it down to.

Re: WTF in America
Even then, they still should have been put on bond pending analysis in the lab to confirm. The testing kit gives probable cause, that's it. How much candy floss did they have on them - it doesn't weight much so I hardly think there was suspicion they were dealing, and I don't think simple possession of drugs should be grounds for anything other than a fine, let alone months in jail.
