According to NORML, large scale dispensary raid in Chico

[dirtnap411]

On their dispensary listing page, it says in a footer that all Chico area dispensaries were hit yesterday, 8 in total. I really wish Mike Ramsey would just retire.

They were selling to people without Rx's, and may have been selling to people under the age of 18.

Ya know - if people that own bars sell a drink to someone that's obviously drunk, if people that own a convenience store sell to someone that's under 21 - and they get caught ... I have NO sympathy for them.

There are rules folks. I'm not saying that all rules should be obeyed - but if you get caught NOT obeying them don't whine about the consequences.

They knew the risk, they knew the reward and they rolled the dice. So, now they need to take some of that "reward" and hire a good lawyer. Too bad, so sad.

ok?

How many times have you seen the cops exaggerate and outright lie? If they are moving their lips its a good bet they are twisting something to their benefit.
I read the news links and it said they were selling to anyone, I've never been to a dispensary like that in all my years in Cali so I really doubt it's true. If it was true why not just sell weed on the street corner?

I also read it was at the behest of the county DA. It's another example of right wingers in the Central Valley not listening to the will of the people and illegally adding their input into a process they don't like.

that the cops that investigated these clubs, the cops that went undercover to make the buys, the detectives that supervised it, the assistant District Attorney's, and the DA all got together over a cold beer and cooked up a conspiracy.

Yup, it's possible.

There are the same percentage of bad cops as there are bad people (since the pool of cops are chosen from ... people).

We'll see how it plays out. That's what courts are for - that's what a jury is for.

I wonder if it is the same group of 'bad cops' that do alcolhol buy stings. I have a friend who owns a bar - - I should warn him that the cops may send someone in that's underage in an attempt to buy, and even if he doesn't sell to them, they may lie on him and say he did.

I went to fight a speeding ticket in Calaveras County and the person who was going to be my lawyer, the DA, and the Judge were all standing there shooting the shit talking about how they were all going to go play golf later.
I plead guilty.
Are you from the Central Valley? Have you read what all what various counties did to stop legal medical prop 215 MJ all over the place and are still doing it in spite of losing at the Supreme Court level? tt isn't real money to these folks they are spending in court to try to bust/convict people and they are locking up folks when they can't get a good lawyer.
Read this before you apologize for the cops and DA in that county.

just north of Butte Co. Ramsey is not well loved.

We have a new DA - just voted in. Hope he is more civilized.

the undercovers that went into only a couple of the dispensaries in chico and they raided all of them! and not only did they just go in to do a compliance check they trashed the places had people lay down took cellphones covered the dispensary cameras and treated people like criminals... now wheres the good in that? Ramsey screwed up on this one!

ok?

yes there was a dispensary that i heard did let in an undercover with an invalid recommendation but they based the whole raid on the ones mistake??? When A.B.C goes into liquer stores to try and buy alcohol without id and succeed they dont take every liquer stores lisence. no they only take/shutdown the one. what the cops did was HIGHLY over the top. and they are just tryin to continue a drug war that has been failing for countless years now. There will be some bad karma coming to local authorities for this... in the end the people will decide!

[OhNoYaDont]

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the law. Karma - hoooo kay.

If the DA and his thugs broke the law, there is remedy in the law. Is that being addressed?
