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.

Alas, that would probably be a bit too much spice for that

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, couldn't they just put a bond on them pending the results? They put a $1,000.00 bond on me once when I got a speeding ticket while my license was taken for a citation I had after an accident, so surely the same could apply here. I thought they had field testing kits as well, so they can test suspected drugs they find in traffic searches and the like.

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

If you read the article you'll find that it tested positive.
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.

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.
