He's laughing because , he knows his arrest is a joke, he'll be dealing tomorrow.

He's also laughing because he know's that it took three people investigating him for 6 months salary will never be recouped, The penelty for 1 pound is the same for 99 pounds.

waste of time and money... don't fear the weed......

Now thats one happy thug , with lots of drugs and lots of money they did not find , he will be out and rolling in less than 24 hours , the judges are a joke . he will be roaming our streets again and again its a never ending revolving door. thats the biggest reason he is smiling his butt off.

life of crime from here on cause no one hire him now for sure

don't fear the weed, three salaries..like it or not it is against the law, they are doing their job...don't fear the weed? Really....go toke another one

Weed is golden

Thor yes it is against the law. However we still have to have common sense would you not agree?

Those three salries issuing citations for blight or speeding would have been more productive No? It's like this I evicted a girl out of my rental house it cost me in legal fees of nearly $200.00 plus she left owing me $1,200.00 back rent do you think I should spend even more money chasing that $1,400.00 The answer is no and the reason the answer is no is because it's easier to get a judgement than it is to collect on it. Why do you think the police will not finger print your home if you report a TV stolen or a Gun? Because it cost to much for the results to yeild it warranted.

My problem is if they had something six months ago that's when they should have charged him,

all i see is teeth! i bet when they got him out of the car, the oil light came on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO what you are saying Thor is, that you are scared of a little plant.... my my!!!!! and thanks i will.. far be it that the law use the time and money more wisely like, say, Patrol our Schools!!

free the weed
