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.
It depends on the quantity found.
What amount of fentanyl, heroin, or crack is acceptable? Possession of any is a felony.
How about 600 lbs of weed? A police buddy of his near Auburn found 600 lbs of weed in the back of a van. It took 3 police Broncos to haul it off. The drugs were confiscated, the driver was cited and released.
So what is the magic number?
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.
Advice for Drug Dealers: When transporting huge amounts of drugs, don’t drive like a jackass.
…. I hope they weren’t detained too long …. after all they might have had the munchies… (sarc) …. Bection – intent to distribute, throw the book at ’em!
Lots and Lots of “Grow Houses” in East County. My source: Good friend is a PG&E employee that has been called out to Customers’ homes after Electric Meter has burned up or exploded! Most tenant’s at these houses are Asian.
….maybe there’s a drop line to another building, residence, etc. and is removed prior to PGE coming out to repair or replace?
I no longer consider weed a dangerous drug. Alcohol, meth snd fentanyl are society’s real problem. Let people who want to smoke smoke. FYI—I don’t smoke myself but have seen the damage alcoholics and drug addicts bring upon their families and society. Have you ever seen a smoker be violent?
