dekWEEK FOUR LOOKING GOODAnd suddenly it makes sense why local police are so willing to help the DEA.... they get to keep the money from the shit they take. Makes me think of papapayne.

But the vast majority of drug enforcement money comes from asset forfeiture, a system that allows cops to seize any propertya house, a car, cashassociated with drugs and allows them to keep, sell, or auction it. The DEA keeps 20 percent of the proceeds and returns 80 percent to the local authorities in cash. According to Justice Department, assets forfeited in MJ cases from 2002-2012 accounted for $1 billion of the $6.5 billion from all drug busts. Local cops are addicted to asset forfeiture, says Bradley, who once saw a cop take $1,000 from someone with pot, get a money order from the bank, mail it to the feds for reimbursement and receive a check for $800 in the mail. They get all excited when they calculate the value of the property they seize. They look at it like shopping. Both Colorado and Washington where pot is legal, are down $18 million in revenue, according to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, because they are no longer seizing grows and the assets associated with them.
That cash incentive also had the unintended effect of perverting crime prevention. Nate witnessed this firsthand in 2007 while investigating a scam in which a prostitute and a high school principal were teaming up to rob and extort johns. When he requested additional men to help with a sting operation that could lead to an arrest his superior told him that the department didnt have the budget for overtime. Fast forward one month when Nate was called to investigate a massive 800-plant pot garden in someones back yard. Thirty deputies were paid overtime to chop down and destroy the plants. I saw this and thought, Two of those guys could have helped me close my case, but we had no funds for that. A garden takes priority because the DEA grants are there.

if you can i can get 20 years for a jay in Louisiana right now and they have fucked my place up before
that totally sucks. the good news is the tide of public opinion is changing and Louisiana will eventually learn that the cost of enforcement and imprisonment for a 'jay' is not in their best interest. I had a rookie cop in beverly hills tell me that my car smelled like weed. i said whats wrong with that. he screamed 'it's illegal!" and I said "is it????" he's a rookie so I am sure his supervisor, who was right there, will sort him out. the judge didn't like the case either and I drove away from both the traffic stop and the court date. cowboy cops crack me up....
