MMJ Patients In Court

[jamessr]

I believe the couples last name was olson. It was done this spring.

Went to the court hearing in Shelton this morning. Just more feet dragging by the prosecution. Another pretrial hearing on Jan.4 at 11:00. I'll be there again. It appears the prosecution may drop all charges, the judge is getting tired of the prosecution dragging there feet. Its a clear cut case of an MMJ patient growing legally. He had 6 over the 15 plant guide line. There is no limit in Washington as to how many plants you can grow but a lot of jurisdictions are using 15 as a guideline.

I know for sure it was not olsen, I followed that case every step of the way, it may have been his wife who did a plea bargain of "GUILTY".

As far as the plant limit thing, 15 is a base line, meaning the minimum, in the WAC code(I believe the last paragraph) one will find that a Dr. may suggest more, but, it is upon the burden of the patient to prove the medical necessity by a preponderance of the evidence (this generally means your doctor just needs to show up and testify or if a reasonable LEO or prosecutor sees the patients recommendation with it spelled out.)

I think these LEO, prosecutors & judges need to be hauled into federal court on HOBBS ACT violations. :thumbsup: That would put a stop to shit like the case your watching in Shelton. Every case in wa. so far that I have followed is clear cut medical PERIOD. The participants involved in the judicial processes are just criminals themselves. Just like the kopstoppers story you posted. :thumbsup:

Here in Mason and kitsap county we've had quite a history of corrupt cops and prosecutors.. Its certainly better than it used to be in the 60's and 70's but its still here. Both District attorneys are real assholes. They would just as soon have the cops rip all your shit out, confiscate it and let you argue about it with the judge. And that takes years.

There are way's to fix people like that, it's called the rules of ethics and complaints to the bar association by either another lawyer, or many people from the public filing multiple bar complaints.

If your interested in how to do this, I would be willing to post it for you.:thumbsup:

As for the corrupt cops, that's easy. File the citizens criminal complaint form I posted in the legal section. When the public or many people file these, you get the corrupt cops off the force. It's just like a class action in legal effect, only it's a criminal action with no immunity availability to the officer, because he/she is a citizen under our statutes regardless of the STATUS of a LEO.

Some will say I am out my mind, but, been there done that more than once. One just has to be careful about a sneaky prosecutor attempting to take over the case from ya and putting their case # on your complaint, (the court clerk is required to have separate case # file per the court rule). Because they think they are the only one's under our constitution who has the RIGHT to bring forth criminal charges. They claim it's a separation of powers violation, which is horse pucky.

RCW Chapter 42 has many requirements for our employees to be honest in their dealings with the public, because the derive their powers from WE THE PEOPLE. It's written in the statute as PUBLIC POLICY by the legislature.(read the chapter)

Hope this info. helps understand we are not without legal weapons to fix this crap ourselves.:thumbsup:
