nah they were talking about it on the radio just the other day and they had a attorney confirm the info.
I'm not sure how a law like that exists, but it apparently does, I'll check the Colorado laws and try and get a link, it may take a few days though.
to be safe, I always ask new friends strait out; "are you a cop?" If they won't answer, bye bye... though so far I've just had them say strait out "no" and burst into laughter; they're cool... cops don't laugh anyway...
The really sad thing is that cops don't even need to play undercover to find drugs. Cops have been known to plant drugs if they want to. Only a thin line separates the cop from a criminal. Cops plant drugs, beat suspect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hixltpXMRL8
Cops are legally allowed to lie to us. They can arrest you and your friends, then tell you that your friends ratted you out, therefore backing you into a corner and making you confess. Completely legal. Oh, but if we lie? That right there's a crime. We're nothing but cattle.
I don't see what all the hatred for cops is about. Most of them are just doing their jobs. They probably hate hippy kids with pot just as much as you hate them. More paperwork for them.
“It just their job” that just translates to it all OK because they get money to do it. Mercenaries get money to destroy villages kill families and displace populations is that OK “because it is just their job”? Hitler’s SS trooper got paid to imprison and murder populations of people “it was just their job” So as long as people get paid to destroy people’s lives it is OK? :-( It is not about hate it is about sadness, frustration seeing family and friends lives destroyed for no reason except to feed the prison and police industry. It sucks watching people who never hurt anyone have their lives destroyed all to support some War on Drugs. If the police were doing what they were supposed to and protecting society most of us would love them, But the reality is in the U.S more then 50% of the prison population is behind bars for victimless crimes (Drug Possession).
I wouldn't go as far as to compare them with Hitler's troops or mercenaries. I mean, they went into that line of work to protect and serve. They don't make the rules, they just enforce them. That's like getting pissed at the cashier at the gas station for gas prices being so high. Why not blame the people who have the power to actually do something about it?
I would attribute your naiveness or lack of sophistication with having to do with your young age. Or maybe, you were simply raised that way. You should know that in the real world, many cops are corrupt, frame unsuspecting citizens, plant evidence, or simply think they can make their own rules, considering themselves above the law. You can find a story about corrupt cops and politicians such on any newspaper on just about any given day. These things are not difficult to comprehend, you just have to pull your head out of the sand... By the way, corrupt cops and corrupt politicians for sure are indeed getting paid to pursue their corrupt deeds using public money. Maybe, you should be proud of that also.

Also, cops are basically an occupation army, whose purpose is to enforce some arbitrary rule or law. To "serve and protect"? This is merely an ideal, in many ways, corrupted, perverted and used to misslead the gullible. Serve and protect whom? Think again. Since there are many corrupt, rogue cops and politicians, the question is, who do these assholes "serve and protect"?
Hey, since we're making broad, sweeping generalizations here, then I just want to say that all hippies are degenerate assholes that need to get a job, get a hair cut, and stop thinking it's the 60's. Does that make any more sense than to say that every single cop has no fonder wish than to bust you for a joint, or goes into work every day thinking of new ways to stick it to people? I don't think so.
Some cops actually aren't total douche bags. It all comes down to why they decided to become police officers. Some, believe it or not actually want to help people. On the other hand there's definitely that group of them that are totally hooked on the adrenaline rush.
Do you even know what the fuck you are talking about, when you weren't even around to have a real sense of what the term "hippies" mean?
