Free ride for famous
Talk about fame and power buying get
out of jail free cards. Saturday, Minneapolis sheriffs pulled over a Minnesota
senator's son, the Associated Press reported.
After searching the vehicle, the deputy
found 10 bags of marijuana inside a rental car rented under the name of
Sen. Rod Grams.
The driver, Morgan Grams was also found
to be on probation and driving without a license, but he was never charged
with a crime.
How's that for look-the-other way days.
And to top it off, the chief deputy gave him a ride home.
Now even if Grams, the younger, was only
carrying the marijuana for personal or medicinal purposes, there is no
need to have it separated into 10 different bags.
It is clear he planned to distribute the
narcotic.
If all it takes to avoid drug trafficking
charges is having a senator for a father, then why not elect all of your
family and friends to positions of power.
When was the last time the police pulled
you over, found three crimes of which you are obviously guilty, and instead
of filing charges against you, decided to offer you a ride home?
Maybe this is why Minnesota has such a
low crime rate.
If the police never charge the criminals,
then they will never have a crime rate.
What a novel approach.
At least those cops are not entrenched
in controversy like the Los Angeles Police Department. But if this keeps
up, they will be. |
