They are doing this to everyone for either having an out of state plate from a state that has legalized the stuff or if you have Idaho plates and are entering Idaho.
I have heard (I do not have any first hand conformation) that if you refuse to consent to a search they arrest you on the spot and search anyway (without a warrant).
Agree with Legalizing the stuff or not, this New Policy & Behavior is downright illegal in so many ways it isn’t funny.
DENVER — A Colorado man is suing Idaho State Police, accusing a trooper of presuming he had marijuana simply because his license plates marked him as being from a state where medical post was legal.
The Denver Post, quoting an attorney for Darien Roseen, reported Sunday that the trooper stopped Roseen at a rest stop just past Idaho’s border with Oregon in 2013. Roseen, who was on the way home from his daughter’s baby shower in Washington state, says he was detained for hours as his truck was searched.
According the suit filed last week in the District of Idaho, no illegal substance was found.
The suit was first reported by Fox31.
The Post reports that Idaho State Police plan to issue a statement later this week.
Record and get a attorney and sue,is still a option and only finacial hits with loss of insurance or huge increases in insurance that will piss off local taxpayers will work.When that is no longer a option,well,as articles here have pointed out the medical benefits of oil ect. for folks with serious illness,war is on.
Also noteworthy in this story (though not mentioned here) is that this man was ultimately charged with “Inattentive Driving”, which is a misdemeanor in the state of Idaho punishable by a $300 fine and/or up to 90 days in jail. What was his “violation”? The sorry excuse for a trooper says he failed to signal when he exited the interstate and that he “bumped” a curb on his way off (you can read more here: http://bit.ly/1rVZEsd ). I live in Idaho and while there are numerous moving violations a person could be cited for in such instances, it seems that way too many state and local LEO’s are citing people with this very same misdemeanor that, as written in the state statutes, is a lesser form of reckless driving and actually quite vague in its description. In fact, we start fighting an “Inattentive Driving” citation this Tuesday that my daughter received a little over a week ago. She caused a minor accident and according to her, witnesses who were present and the police report itself she was anything BUT inattentive. I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t like it.
If ever I move to Idaho that is one of the main things I do politically is to get the State Police disbanded and all the stations containing all their records seized. I wonder what a careful search will turn up, and how many of those uniformed terrorists can be brought to trial on heavy criminal charges? I wonder? Those in Idoho I recommend you get rid of your state police before too long. Sounds like they are becoming like KALIFORNIA!!!! Totally SOVIET!!!!!
If you’re going to sue, start suing the thugs with badges for breach of contract, the one issue their malpractice insurance carriers don’t cover, in which case the thugs would have to forfeit their own savings and other assets (including their spouses), obtain second mortgages, sign away their homes, etc., in order to purchase some defense. They’d start finding out how much they’re thought of as the low-end masons in the satanic Scottish Rite club and as the dogs in the JustUs British Accredited Registry club.
“I have heard (I do not have any first hand conformation) that if you refuse to consent to a search they arrest you on the spot and search anyway (without a warrant).”
As I’ve stated before, saw this one coming.
