KY cop busted for growing pot

[keithaba]

Interesting, he was a k-9 cop that busted countless people for marijuana....

clicky

Guess he thought he was safer growing it than buying it???

Talk about a weird bout of Karma???

"it was a training aide, I had to teach the dogs what to look for" :lol:

What ever happened to the good ole days where they just "confiscated" it?

I kinda feel bad for him.... It's like the cop on the FJR thing. Had it been one of us, (a non-officer) we'd just get some court fees and the charges would probably be amended down or droped.

For these guys, it equals their career, and public humiliation.....

Just for smoking a doob or for speeding on an FJR. Hardley what I consider serious criminal offenses.

I have no sympathy for him, he violated an oath of office and the public trust. Law enforcement Officers are held to a higher standard which is sometimes hard to bear, but what he did is not hard to keep from doing. He made a concious choose to grow and cultivate some pot. And he knew that five plants were a felony in his state. He put alot of thought into his decision. Good luck to him with his next career.

Almost as political good as a prominent and outspoken "Family Values" conservative lawmaker getting busted for soliciting anonymous gay sex in a bathroom.

Frickin' hypocrites. If your gonna smoke dope (or pole), have at it all you want, but don't be society's champion against the very behavior you can't seem to resist yourself.

But contradiction is fun!

Oddly, hypocrisy is not a crime.

As much as I disagree with the higher standards on the bike riding incident, I have to agree on this one. He knew the law and calculated this one over time. Not just a split second bad decision. Toast'em with all avail guns here.

Perhaps not, but it seems we can tolerate it less than actuall crimes.

I don't.

I work for a manufacturing company that drug tests and background checks every new hire. We do not have random drug testing after hire but if you are arrested and convicted of controlled substance related offenses you are subject to termination. Thats the policy and it is clearly stated in the employee handbook.

Personally I don't think that smoking weed is any worse then drinking alcohol which I do. But that is completely irrelevant. If I chose to smoke weed or grow it I would be putting my job at risk. I know that and he knew it. He made his decision and he has to live with the results. That is what personal responsibility is all about.
