based on what? please cite your expertise in the matter of obtaining a search warrant for a personal residence. i would honestly like to know if the police can simply 'ask for' a warrant, without anything to justify it, and be granted one.

while they're using, they're also committing violent crimes. and how do you tax something that's smuggled across the border, grown in a basement, or mixed in a bathtub? i don't have any real answers. what we're doing isn't working, but i'd like to think that it's better than doing nothing. trafficking drugs means that you're receiving and repackaging dope, distributing dope, and or transporting it to dealers and users. we're not talking about some guy smoking pot on his couch and watching the smurfs.

i'll agree that jailing people isn't stopping anyone from using drugs...but i hope that because gang affiliated drug dealers are in jail, less lives are being taken on the streets. perhaps i'm naive...but i don't tink that the solution is to not jail the dealers and thugs who commit crimes while under the influence.

The Strangers. we watch it every year and it still terrifies me.

um. YES! absolutely.

regardless of whether or not his particular nose was clean....there was enough evidence of drug activity in that household to obtain a search warrant. the situation really sucks.

perhaps this is why cops are so 'trigger happy' when serving search warrants? not picking at you Feelip. but knowing that this is the mindset of many citizens, and that those that have warrants out against them are less than law abiding, seems like it would put the men who are trying to do their jobs a bit on edge. idk. i'm trying to make sense of this, just like everyone else is.

'evidence of drug trafficking'

it sounds to me as if the postman is implying that people who disagree with him or become angry with him are suffering from the shame of having a small penis. and seriously, there are plenty of acceptable terms for a penis, if you're too shy to use the technical term. the one mentioned above would get you absolutely NOWHERE with me. i would be more ashamed of using a silly/cutesie name for my penis than i would be it's size.

theft by taking is a far cry from the situation described in this thread. as far as ending the war on drugs....have you lost your damn mind?

last year we went across the road and did the haunted maze. i peed my pants.

the house on the corner will be giving out shots on Saturday night!!!

yeah, well...the ring covers that up...

crap. i've had 4 last names already, and am contemplating adding a 5th.

Only you can report a crime that's happening right in front of your eyes.

Um. I always get in trouble when I post body paint pictures. I'll try to get some decent shots to share!

Not it!

I never find anything good.

Congrats and good luck at the interview!!!!!

there's some kind of saying about all work and no play...but i don't remember it as i refuse to live in a world where i can't have playtime!!! hope you have a chance to share a few smiles and laughs while you're working.

Love you too, honey-pie!!!

This has been a hell of a rough week. So glad Friday is finally here. Two more hours of work and then I'm shedding my pants and starting my weekend!!!! Tonight I'll be at the Cove with the love of my life. Yardwork tomorrow. Crossroads Grille with my Bubba Dew on Saturday night. Finishing up with PRIDE in Piedmont Park on Sunday afternoon!!! Whatchoo got planned?

I like pies.

Hell fire and brimstone, maybe?
