everyone go out and setup a deal with your dare officer.. but invite the police along and turn the tables on those motherfuckers.

With asset forfeiture laws, the enforcers of the law are also the ones who benefit. Makes for a cops-gone-wild society.
 
WTF!?
How is this not entrapment? Or just plain not illegal?

He sold them Oregano. It's not illegal lol. The cop said intent to sell is still a crime, BUT NOT IF IT'S NOT A FUCKING DRUG!

Also, apparently all the kid sent was "That was some bomb ass weed" or something like that. And somehow she gets him to sell 3 ounces of "weed". ENTRAPMENT!

But of course no crime was committed anyway. He was selling 3 ounces of oregano. Bomb ass oregano.

Seeing as all texts are permanently stored until further notice by most phone companies, if they wiretap your phone they'd definitely go through all your texts.

I used to work for a phone company and was informed this was quite false, however I don't necessarily trust that company.

Its still illegal. selling anything that you are portrayin as a drug is just as bad as sellin the drug. you sell somebody a oz of "coke" thats really some inactive white powder you still get sentenced like if you sold the coke. some dumb shit aint it?

Wouldn't it have been much more helpful as a "drug resistance education officer" to sit down with the kid and explain to him the potential dangers/problems associated with his behavior rather than tricking him into a drug sale that will brand him as a criminal, and most likely greatly interfere with his education?

To me it seems that they have a "stats" mentality, where the more people they can arrest the better they think they are doing. Where in reality it should be the opposite, where the less people you need to arrest should prove that your work is successful. In a perfect world the police should be community based public servants who help to prevent crime from happening rather than allowing crimes to be committed and then locking the violator up.

Right on the money. How embarrassing that someone would be proud of busting a 16 year old for wanting to buy pot instead of educating them. This is exactly what is wrong with society.

This is a shitty officer. After 3 days of texting she should've been able to negotiate him into buying a thousand ecstasy pills plus a nuclear rod. She could've really poked a hole through the criminal underbelly of her jurisdiction.

Something doesnt' seem quite right to me aout this.
The way I read the article was that he asked her for weed. She then says he wanted to buy 3 ounces for $300 and that he was serious aout purchasing it.
They then set up the deal to catch him buying weed but then confiscate weed off him?

Whos selling and whos buying?
 
I proudly still use my DARE card from elementary school to chop up my snortable drugs :P.
 
Wow this really is pretty sad. To think people wonder why the police show up late when they call in a robbery or an assault - they're too busy busting the 16 year old kid for a small amount of weed. On the other hand though, if he was selling fake weed he did kind of get what he deserved, I would like to see a system in the future when drugs are legal where police go after the people looking to scam drug users, those selling cut product, those selling fake product, etc.

Haha. Makes me wish Bluelight had a rep system. Here, have an imaginary +rep for that.
 
Teen arrested for selling weed to a dare officer

Really? This 16 y/o contacted a DARE officer to purchase weed yet he shows up with a bag of oregano to sell to the officer. And he is still in jail-really for two weeks???? They won't release him to his parents-is he a flight risk? He doesn't even have his drivers license. This kid is facing two felony charges - really? I think this Portage County Prosecutor needs to be asked why won't he release this child???????

Statistically speaking, you were less likely to use drugs. DARE graduates are more likely to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and use illegal drugs.

What a group of dumb people these are, I can't decide whether the kid or the DARE officer was dumber. It seems like it's only logical to make sure that the dealer is the one you've reached before asking for drugs. My first words to any dealer are "hey, [insert name here]?" What stupidity.
