Being arrested is deprivation of liberty. Due process of law requires deprivation of liberty to be reasonable. Go to www.ursm.us see page Police power

No victim then the law is unreasonable to seize his person and his property therefore violates the 4th and 5th amendments of the constitution of the united states.

What ever he does do not claim marijuana is a fundamental right. The claim is that marijuana is property and protected from unreasonable seizure.

Judicial review of criminal laws is the reasonableness standard of the 4th amend.

It is to bad lawyers and judges will not protect individual right secured by Amends 4 and 5.

Diana, in the 30's in Germany, the SS were enforcing "stupid" laws as well. If you remember, when members of the SS were put on trial, the argument "I was just following orders" did not work.

Lincoln (the proto-Nazi) had a full beard so that blows a hole in your theory.

I couldn't find a contact link so I hope someone moderates these comments. I am Russ Belville, host of NORML's Daily Audio Stash news and entertainment podcast. I would very much like to interview Andrew about this story for the podcast and if it goes well, perhaps my XM Satellite radio show.

Have you ever seen a cop that could grow a full beard?

That's actually a very interesting point.

To Diana,

If you want to hold the cops up to some magical status as demigods or whatever, that's between you and the contents of your head.

Here, we all know better. Cops have no "virtue" that is bestowed upon them simply by having a badge pinned on their shirt. You blurt out rife absurdities about them and worship their misdeeds, likely based on the fantasy world you believe in, that movies, tv & print wrongfully portraying them as heroes. They are no such thing. They are an occupying army that has long ago given up protecting our lives and property.

Even the so-called "good cops" will cover for each other when it all goes sour. Did you really think that none of the people there ever had a legitimate gripe against the police?

Please feel free to take that ridiculous trash you believe in, somewhere else.

Men become cops because they are insecure about their masculinity.

That insecurity stems from that fact that they have very little facial hair.

They think that if they go around beating people up, that makes them more of a man.

Have you ever seen a cop that could grow a full beard?

Why do women become cops? No idea.

These cops think they can go around ruining peoples lives without it coming back to them. They are sadly mistaken.

The problem with cops is that it requires a certain mutation in one's character to drive someone to become one. (couldn't get laid in high school, got cut from the baseball team, etc.). Cops LOVE the power. It's an aphrodesiac to them. There is NO reasoning with them. If you appeal to their logic they will mock you. They will NEVER consider anything you say.

I find it satisfying pushing them right up to the brink of meltdown with polite uncooperativeness.
