Has anyone seen the new "reality" show on MTV, Busted?
The other day they had this kid who was about to go off to college on a hockey scholarship and he and a friend got busted with a tiny ass bowl of pot.
All the while the poor kid is saying, "I can't get arrested, I'll lose my scholarship, this is going to ruin my whole life."
The cops basically just did their jobs instead of being their normal asshole selves so that comes off as them being "cool." But then they show their true colors by saying at the very end, "If it wasn't so busy tonight we'd have taken them both to jail."
The fact that they were so willing to ruin this kid's life over a tiny bowl of weed reminded me of that well worn quote by Pres. Jimmy Carter, "Penalties against drug use should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against the possession of marijuana in private for personal use."
