wtf is wrong with the world a kid has his life taken from him right before his very eyes because he wanted to have some wild mushrooms...america needs to focuse on its real problems an stop screwing people with pety bs

I AGREE ALSO

omg big news, 2.5 ounces. thats like maybe $400 street value. big news. i could go pick more than that on my farm right now if i wanted to. that kid was scared into an illegal search! but if i had illegal drugs on me i wouldnt drive 30 mph over the speed limit!

if i were the cop i would have took the shrooms and let him go

Ooooh Psilocybin Mushrooms. The whole drugwar is a terrible waste of resources and life and sanity. Mushrooms. I like the idea of my body being a soverign nation that I can put whatever the hell I want into it. I can't believe people are so against drugs. Do these laws do anything to stop it??

i strongly agree

Why did the cop search his car during a routine traffic stop? It sounds like he had his rights violated, or was coerced into waiving them. Futhermore, psilocybin mushrooms grow wild in Oregon, so why is he being arrested for harvesting wild mushrooms? These cops sounds like the typical trash that is churned out by the New World Order. No respect for the Constitution they have supposedly sworn to uphold. Scumbags.
