During a speed enforcement stop on hwy.4 in Concord, CHP Officers from the Contra Costa area observed large quantities of marijuana located within the stopped vehicle. After further investigation, it was determined over 125 pounds of marijuana was seized from the vehicle. Both the driver and the passenger were arrested for possession charges.
Possession charges?
What about intent to distribute?
Were they home in time for dinner?
Nice to see that the perps were arrested and not just cited and released.
I have a Nephew who’s an officer in Sacto. He’s found meth, weed, fentanyl, heroin, crack/coke, etc. He tells me that in every case, the possessor of these drugs was cited (a ticket) and released with the drugs being confiscated. They are releasing criminals who possess hard and dangerous drugs!
The next time you hear that “crime is down”, ask yourself is it really down or do our overlords just not want to be bothered with “petty” crimes like fentanyl or meth possession? Criminals will keep on criminalizing if there is no penalty for their crimes.
In a hurry, because they had the munchies ? ? ? ?
The first rule of Crime Club is “Follow all of the rules of the road”.
This includes things like, Don’t speed, Don’t run stop signs, make sure your lights are working, and use blinkers.
Maybe they can get a refresher course at the hoosgow.
