Via Radley Balko, here's a perfect example of routine policing in the war on drugs. If it sounds supremely pathetic, that's because it is:
What a horrible place Greenburg, IN must be if the police have nothing better to do than this and the newspaper has nothing better to do than report every agonizing detail of it. The whole thing is so impressively lame, I can hardly believe I'm reading it. Good luck "exterminating the drug problem" in Indiana's most boring city.
Another tip from a watchful citizen early Tuesday morning brought the Greensburg Police Department closer to exterminating the drug problem in the city.
…
The caller advised that there was suspicious activity, strange noises and unusual odors coming from the apartment. When GPD officers arrived, the strange smell was identified as "burnt marijuana," Chief Heaton reported.
After identifying the apartment that was emitting the odors, the GPD attempted to make contact. But inside the apartment, no one answered.
Working quickly to establish probable cause, the officers sought to obtain a search warrant from the office of the Decatur County Prosecutor.
In the interim period before the warrant was granted, the GPD kept a secure perimeter around the residence, making sure that no one went in or out of the apartment, Chief Heaton explained.
"It definitely tied up our units (for about two hours)," Heaton said.
The search warrant was secured and served at 1:23 a.m. Tuesday. Upon gaining entry to the apartment, the police found marijuana and proof of marijuana consumption and the five suspects were arrested. [Greensburg Daily News]

Looking for the easiest way to join the anti-drug war movement? You've found it!
Can you imagine how stupid these guys would have looked
if something serious happened elsewhere in the city and they were delayed in responding because they were busy dealing with this so called crime of preferring cannabis to killer alcohol?
Go have another drink of your own drug, guys.
WASTED
POLICE ARE JUST WASTING TAX MONEY .FIRE HALF OF THEM THROUGH DEFUNDING ,THIS IS RIDICLOUS
cops and dope cops are dopes
Cops and legislators in this backward town Indiana.This is 2010 guys. Get a clue. A warrant for probable cause because of a smell of burnt marijauna? Are you fucking kidding me? Are we living in Nazi Germany and we're Jewish? Let's wake the fuck up and fight some crime and quit stepping all over our constitutional rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
In Yavapai County, Arizona,
it takes at least 10. And each one of them gets to count a felony arrest towards their next promotion -- they're not dopes; they're just more worried about furthering their own careers, at little or no actual risk, than about the lives of the people they've sworn to protect. (Pointing guns at little kids is a bonus; a perc, you might say.)
And rest assured, boys and girls, that the search warrant was "served" at the end of a battering ram.
What a bunch of dummy cops,
What a bunch of dummy cops, why not go after a crack or meth dealer instead of wasting your time with this shit?
The solution is for every
The solution is for every marijuana consumer to move the fuck away from these slave states! Just abandon your life in one of these hard core states and move to a place like California. Then watch these slave economies completely collapse and watch these medical marijuana states thrive. This is the future. Just say no to slave states! Escape this shit people.
