Likely that was the guiding force behind the arrests. Plus, video and photographic evidence is permissible and will likely be used at the hearings, if they even go that far.

What part of personal responsibility do y'all not understand? Is this where society is headed...? "it's just not fair"... "it's not my fault"..."everyone else is doing it"..."poor me"..."but it's only a little illegal..." ..."it's a bad law, so I won't respect it" are not valid reasons for any argument on this subject, and doubtful it would cary much weight with the judge. They are nothing but excuses for ones own ineptitude. Whining may get you what you want from parents or teachers, but in real life, you just look like a whiner. :jointsmile:
You really think if it was a picture of you or me taking a bong hit and it was mailed to that sherrif he would seek us out and bust us??? It wouldnt be worth his time we are nobodies...were not famous...... We could be on America Most Wanted.... have you seen these bong bandits

Cops have the power to do as they will...if they Want to get you they will...even if they have to fabricate charges/evidence....they can also use their personal discretion and let a person off the hook.

Friend of mine got busted with a pringles potatoe chip can can full of weed in his car...cops took the weed (45 gs)....he got a ticket 2 weeks later for 3 gs
