I still think we ought to legalize most of these drugs for use in supervised clinics. Our current cat-and-mouse game is costing mucho buckos and ain't working as far as I can tell.

Drove it around for awhile and one weekend decided to go to Mexico. Busted at the border for a kick panel full of MJ. Yep, turns out to be a drug bust car that wasn't searched. I think they eventually let the guy go but kept the car - don't know what happened with the court case.

They confiscate a car from drug dealers and they don't bother to get it onto a hoist to check for hidden compartments? This should be SOP for any metropolitan police department in this day and age. In fact, the car should have been inspected by the seizing department before auction, and it should have been inspected AGAIN by the purchasing department. This is a major screwup.
