You know for a fact they aren't going to spend time on it, why thank you Sheriff. Did you even bother reading the article? The Florida Highway Patrol took the time to take pictures of the pot on the back of one of their radio cars and then put the story out there for the news services to pick. Why would they do that? Probably, one, to toot their own horn, two to try to pick up some leads on the case, three to scare to public about the menace of marijuana as well as dangerous falling bags of marijuana. It's on the front page of the website for the Tampa Tribune and the NBC affliate and then made the main newswires. They set up a tip line to try to find leads, which by their own admission has lead to many prank calls. If they weren't interested in the case, why leak the story and then set up a tip line? If they are going to take the time to do these things, I don't think it is possible to say for a fact that they aren't going to take the time to try to fingerprint the garbage bags especially when they also think that this might be part of a grow operation. How long does it take to check for prints? Mere minutes. I've seen it done.

Dude, there's a war out there against pot smokers and we're not winning it, not in Florida anyway. To close your eyes to it really is quite naive.
