Police Batter Down Teenager's Door, Blow Off Dog's Head Without Warning

[Hardcore Newbie]

newbie you wont get 10 years for two joints in Canada.

know the law if you are going to break it is my theory.

I know we're not going to get a huge amount for pot in Canada, that wasn't really my point.

Clearly we can see the vast disparity in the sentencing between weed and coke. Ignorance is no excuse of the law, she lives in Vanier and does coke and weed im willing to bet money on the fact that she was involved with things she shouldn't have been.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse... that was the case when there were only a few laws to begin with. I read a piece not too long ago that stated there were over 2 million statutes (or as they prefer to call them, laws) in Canada. It'd take over a lifetime to familiarize yourself with all of them.

i accknowledge that the police treat people in her situation fairly poorly. but the fact is, she did have drugs in her possession. so them raiding her home, and shooting dogs that are known to be dangerous, searching her and her daughter in jail.....is not actually out of line.

it sucks for them, but its all pretty standard when it comes right down to it.

I have a hard time believing that someone on a cannabis site would actually say something like this. You don't morally think that this is out of line? Shooting someone's dogs because they have some cocaine? Just because something is standard, that doesn't make it alright, not in my eyes.

I might be in the minority, but I know that there are responsible coke heads out there. I've never touched the stuff, nor do I condone it AT ALL, but to think that everyone that uses coke has to be a fiend is just nonsense. Pot heads are very badly portrayed in the media, you'd think we're all a bunch of lazy, good for nothing hippies.
