Deputies mistake kitty litter for meth; after 3 days in jail, suspect cleared

how much they gonna pay him for sitting in jail? thats real question

Stockholm Syndrome.

Just doing their job. If you consider "kidnapping and locking into a cage innocent humans" part of their job, yeah, the cop did his job great.

Are we competing as to who has the worst country? lol

Correct, no guns. But very few blacks with guns too.

Never been stopped while driving. Never been stopped on the street. In fact I never had police speak to me in any way. 40+ year old.

The only friend I know who has been stopped by police was because she had a customised number plate on her car the automated reader couldnt read. The police told her to get it changed. She asked, dont you have anything better to do? End of story. In America she would probably bed dead now.

We pretty much go about our lives with zero interference from law enforcement.

Prostitution legal in the UK.

Weed use ignored. No one went to prison ever for smoking weed.

People can buy alcohol aged 18.


Feel free to contrast all those facts with life in the US.

But they don't clean the test equipment each time, so you WILL test positive... just saying it.

Way back in the day...the police in my town were known for selling confiscated drugs on the street....Imagine the possibilities here.

Anybody check the state of the CAT?

Yes, cheap and effective.

What a great idea. I think I'll sew a cute bag that matches my car interior...
and add some marbles to the litter mix so I can wack someone If need be...

USAUSAUSA!

The chief of police in my little town was recently suspended without pay.

The town fathers won't tell anyone why.

God bless America.

Stop The Fuckin Drug War!

And the cops like it that way. Drug test kits that go positive on many substances that are not illegal drugs.

No, they do not want accurate tests.

Much of this "drug war" is about civil asset forfeiture. The cops get to keep your car, money, and other valuables. It's a nightmare trying to get it back from them, even if you are innocent.

Policing For Profit.

Quit cop praising.

It should be none of their god damn business what someone has in their car.

How cheap roadside drug test kits destroy innocent lives:

It's a personnel matter, and none of your damned business.

That's why.

No need to get huffy Chief.

The reason he had kitty litter in a sox.

"The trick is actually so simple, and you only have to make it once. After that, you leave it inside your car for the whole season and let it work its magic. What do you do? Fill a sock with kitty litter!

Cat litter is specifically designed to absorb moisture (for obvious reasons), including moisture in the air around it. Without extra water trapped in the air inside your car, there will be much less, if any condensation on the inside of your windows.

This works in the winter because the outside temperature is lower than inside your car, which is what contributes to the condensation on the inside of your windshield. However, the same underlying problem is what causes your windows to fog in the summer on a cool rainy day. Consider this: if you have a cold glass of water outside, condensation appears on the outside of the glass. This excess water comes from the warm air that comes into contact with the glass.

He spent 3 days in jail, lost his job and his name. He is going to get much, much more than an apology and well-deserved. It's their responsibility to have accurate testing equipment if you can ruin a persons life based on the result (duh).

Yeah, there goes that cop/IQ thing again...stupid is as stupid does, although we pay the consequences of their stupid...

The guy learned a lesson. Never, ever, allow the police to search your car without a warrant. Even if you're innocent, make them get a warrant.

He will get some money out of this. You have to show loss in order to get punitive damages. Dude lost his job. He will be fine...and his wallet a bit fatter after this is all over.
