GA & drugs

2018-01-19 18:55:49.980157+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Atlanta Journal Constitution: Torpy at Large: Yet again, GA war on drugs shoots itself in the foot. Cops bust a rowdy party at an AirBNB at 2AM (yeah, this starts out totally unsympathetic to the accused), claim "...officers said they noticed the smell of weed when they turned onto the block...", find a couple of grams of marijuana, arrest and charge 65 (mostly black) people.

“It was an abuse of discretion,” Griggs told me early last week. “It’s impossible for 70 people to have custody and control of that little marijuana.”
