Remember not to Jay walk, unless you want your ass kicked by twelve cops, and dragged off to jail...
January 22, 1998, Fayette, MO: A Missouri judge sentenced an adolescent first time offender
to ten years in state prison after finding him guilty of selling $20 of marijuana
within 2,000 feet of the Central Methodist College. State law classifies the offense as a
Class A Felony that carries a mandatory sentencing range of ten years to life.
Billy Polson, 17, helped Alex Martinez acquire 3.4 grams of marijuana from students at the
Missouri college campus. Martinez, who dated Polson's sister at the time, later revealed
that he was working undercover for the Police Department. He also admitted purchasing malt liquor
for the defendant shortly before Polson agreed to sell him marijuana.
Missouri attorney and NORML board member Dan Viets, who represented Polson, called the felony conviction "horribly unfair."
"I told the judge that if he wanted to help Polson get along with his life, then giving him a felony conviction record
was the worst thing he could do," Viets said. He explained that the judge had the option of placing Polson on probation
without a conviction. Viets also said that the prosecutor in the case, Greg Robinson, could have charged Polson with a
lesser offense to avoid the excessive sentence. Viets said that Robinson wished to make an example out of Polson before
the upcoming elections.
"Alex Martinez was a reserve officer with the Boonville Police Department," she explained. "He was paid to
become intimate with a young woman to gain the trust of her younger brother.The police department paid Alex to encourage
a minor to drink alcohol. The department paid Alex to arrange a transaction close to the college to increase Bill's sentence
under a law designed to protect elementary school children from drug dealers. Except here in this case, the law served
to incarcerate a kid who is younger than the attendees of the nearby school. Is this the proper role of law enforcement?"Polson served his ten year sentence in a Missouri Department of Corrections boot camp facility.
The judge has the option of placing Polson on probation within 120 days.
SWAT Team Kills 80 Year Old Retired Engineer in Bed During Raid For Non-Existent Drugs
fall 1988. A upstate New York man was sitting in his home on a rainy evening entertaining a couple of friends, when there was a knock at the door. He opened the door to find an unknown man in a trench coat and "trooper hat" who asked if he was Mr. ***. He stated he was and the man said he was with the local sheriff department and had two minors in his car who claimed to have purchased Marijuana from him. He replied well they are full of shit. The officer who had never shown any official identification said, "I don't think so". When asked what he based this observation on the officer said he had "just witnessed them leaving the premises" Knowing that no one had arrived or left the premises for a couple hours, Mr *** said "then you are full of shit" and slammed and locked the door. Moments later the door was kicked open and the officer entered the room pistol drawn and said everybody stay where you are. The officer started yelling where is the pot, where are the rest of the people (there were only three people in the room two children were asleep in a adjoining room) where do you keep the drugs. Mr *** said there were no drugs and the officer began to randomly open drawers and when a woman stood up and demanded to know, "Who the hell he thought he was", he said, pointing his gun at her "sit your fucking ass down or I'll arrest you too" His search eventually turned up several suspicious seeds and the owner was told he was under arrest and taken outside to a police car. Where the officer advised him to plead guilty or he would come back and arrest everyone who was attending this party and have the children taken away by Social Services. The man was then given an appearance ticket pending testing of the alleged substance.
Deciding that the officer had way overstepped any reasonable protocol, he obtained a lawyer and fought the action in court. When the officer took the stand he said he had come to the residence to check out a loud party and upon knocking was told to come right in and noticed marijuana smoke in the air and searched the house based on the smell. He said the tests on the substance were not back yet. After the testimony of the two party goers and Mr. *** the Judge threw out the charges based on unreasonable search and seizure. The D.A. stood up and shouted this is a travesty of justice, the people want this man held over for trial. The D.A. was right! So shortly after the ordeal the man sold his home and left the state...

The car pulled out and began to follow him, knowing he had done nothing wrong he continued along his way. After a couple of miles he came across a slow moving car and when he reached a passing zone proceeded to pass. The police car passed also and turned on it's flashing lights. The man pulled over and asked, "why he was being stopped?" The officer said he had crossed the center line while passing the slower vehicle. So he replied. The sheriff informed him under State law She was allowed to pull over any vehicle which crossed the center line regardless of why. She then asked him if he had been drinking. The man replied that he had had exactly one drink an hour or so ago at his last delivery stop. She then asked him to exit the truck and told him he was under arrest. "For what?" he replied. She responded that he had just confessed to driving under the influence, she handcuffed him and placed him in the back seat of her police car.
Meanwhile several other officers had arrived and began to search the delivery van opening all the boxes of product still in the truck. The officer returned with his money pouch with his daily collection of cash and checks totaling a couple thousand dollars and questioned him about where the funds had come from. He told her his trip sheet and invoices were in the van but she said she wasn't interested, and that he would have his chance in court to prove where the money came from as she was confiscating it. . Mean while he was given a remote Breathalyzer test by another officer, which detected no alcohol on his breath. He was then told he was being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon because they had found a baseball bat behind the seat. Eventually after being detained for two hours and talking to her superior and threatening to sue everybody involved in this fiasco he was released and all his property returned.
