This stuff is pretty ridiculous, thanks for sharing. :thumbsup: Small-town cops are usually pretty bored. My hometown's pretty small too, but we have a lot larger things going on... it's just covered up so that the community doesn't look bad.

And the officers never note when there is some lying going on. :S2:

And all the time-H4H was smoking a fat bowl in peace.

Wow, I'm just waiting for your town's paper to have a front-page article "Teens seen smoking marijuana in park. A community in crisis."

I wish my newspaper could turn their bland stupidity into something funny.
