I get what you are saying because I don't drink much, take perceptions or even smoke weed anymore but just imagine if weed was legal.

Not only could these worthless cops have been re assigned to an actually preventing crime. All the time spent on this court case would be given back and not wasted. And by the way you are paying for all this shite. And idk about you but I would rather not pay cops to do that or waste all this money on the trail in the courts. i would like some better roads and infrastructure.

Probably ordered it off black market. They probably illegally snooped around his online activity and found the address he was sending to. They then made up this completely bullshite story about their hunch that 6 pounds of weed was in the package. All because it came from Oakland and not from an authorized shipping location.

The cops say he consented. Doesn't mean he really did.

That was done by enforcement assigned to the center. Nothing random about it, they are there looking for narcotics. FedEx has a reputation of being used by dealers both for drugs and money. The overnight turnaround was explained as the reason.

I wish it was law that any consent to search must be in writing or recorded.

So the motion to suppress probably came from the fact that they had no authority to actually open the vacuum packed fish. Giving the ok to search, does not give them the ok to tear shot open....that would be my guess.

Example....yes officer, you can search my car. But without further proof (drug dogs, etc), you can't slash my tires looking in them. I guess that takes probable cause

'm amazed that people will give police permission to search. It never makes sense to grant permission to search without a warrant. You have absolutely nothing to gain from the search.



It makes sense. I mean look what happened to the kid that got tazed for 23 seconds and went into cardiac before getting body slammed on his face. He had no legal reason to comply and look where that got him.

Is it worth the risk of getting severely hurt or killed to not cooperate with every directive the officer makes? Standing up for your rights has consequences in this country- jail, broken teeth, a hospital stay and maybe death.

I am not terribly surprised he consented.

Eta- allegedly consented.

Kind of loose your rights when you consent, even after the police lie to you.


Show me proof he consented without duress and I might believe you.

That's aside from the fact that this whole operation is a huge waste of resources.

Consent to search" apparently you don't understand that concept.



I can think of a bunch of ways that even with "consent" that it's still an illegal search.

You usually sign a form for the consent.


Ok. So if the police told him he was going to prison if he didn't sign it, would that still make it legal? What if they threatened to seize his car/bank account if he didn't sign? What if he gave consent to search one part of his car and the cops searched beyond it? What if he signed it, then withdrew his consent after, yet they still searched anyway?

A signature doesn't mean much.

I don't think they happened to see it. I think someone called them and said "x" address has sent a package and it's going here.

It's like a car being stopped in I10 for a lane change violations and having 10 kilos of coke....
