Cop teaches criminals how to get away

by

This is one of those stories that just makes you shake your head in wonder.

Former Police officer, Barry Cooper of Tyler Texas has created a video that he’s called “Never Get Busted Again”. Cooper, a former Narcotics officer, hailed as one of the best, says that the video shows how to hid the stash, fool dope sniffing dogs and avoid narcotics profiling. He thinks that the war on drugs is a waste of money and favors the legalization of marijuana.

The cops Cooper worked with in the past are upset over the video and one says that he’s going to investigate whether the drug tip video violates the law.

I can see criminals teaching each other the tricks of the trade, but a cop teaching them how to avoid getting caught? That just doesn’t seem right.






A lot of Weed for one deep sleep

How much pot does it take to get to sleep?

After police found 638 marijuana plants in a Hastings, England, warehouse rented by David Churchward in September, he said he was forced to grow the plants (which would make more than 280,000 marijuana cigarettes) to help his wife, because she has difficulty sleeping. And Reuters reported in September that a farm woman in Lobez, Poland, who had been charged with growing marijuana, said she was forced to because her cow had been acting “skittish and unruly” until she put cannabis in the feed.

I wonder if this little guy has been eating any marijuana munchies, or if he just needs some sleep too?

Lawyer can’t think Logically?

At the Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court in England in July, Andrew Curzon was charged with wrongfully attempting to cash a neighbor’s pension-adjustment check, in the equivalent of about $220,000. The explanation by Curzon (who is a law student) is that he has “dyspraxia,” which renders him unable “to engage in logical thinking.”

Two brothers have been arrested on charges of growing a marijuana plantation in one of the biggest public parks in Palermo, Sicily, Ansa news agency reported on Wednesday.

Police say the men, aged 25 and 30, had grown about 20 marijuana plants each at least two meters (six and a half feet) high in the Italian city’s Parco della Favorita, Ansa reported.

The pair were arrested as they carried watering cans to the site, which was hidden by vegetation. Police who raided their home found 3,000 seeds, more marijuana and cash thought to be from sales of the drug.

The men’s parents also have been charged in the case.

Incompetence

From an Atlanta police report, summarized in a July issue of the weekly Creative Loafing:

A man working on a house on Smith Street was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with serious injuries to his posterior. He happened to be bending over next to a wall that, unknown to him, a worker on the other side was drilling into, and the drill bit entered his “anal cavity.” (Creative Loafing of Atlanta), July 5, 2006)

New York’s Finest:

Four New York City police were called to an apartment house in July in the Bronx concerning a landlord-tenant dispute, but were distracted by a teenager in the hallway smoking marijuana and started to chase him, when a pit bull attacked the officers. The toll, 26 bullets later: one dead dog, one bitten officer, three other officers wounded by each other’s gunshots. (New York Post, July 24, 2006)
