		<description>So is this why &quot;neocon dorks&quot; call Maryland a LIBERAL state?!

Growing one pot plant =&#039;s felony arrest prison? Yet the bacteria masquerading as a bipeds who stabed /murdered a research scientist were allowed to walk on multiple prior violent robbery charges. I love my home, yet this place makes me sick!

Too bad &quot;true accountability&quot; will never be faced  by these thugs who deface the sacred badges they wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!As for the &#039;judges&#039;.... don&#039;t we have a history of something called  &quot;being tarred and feathered?&quot;

next time you see a fireman asking for donations at a stop light consider the blood drenched pissing away of scant financial resourses such as terrorizing innocent households. and for you parents of our troops who have to send them &quot;care packages&quot; because the money to adequately equip our troops is not there, due to this peversion of state authority, why do you continue to kiss the boots of your oppressors?



What about our POTUS? where is the executive orderr that could stop this tribute to Stalin and that &quot;slimey filfth&quot; from Austria?</description>

		<description>The Founding Fathers sought to create a &quot;government of laws, not of men.&quot; A key principle of this doctrine is that no person is above the law — that every government employee must obey the same laws that government imposes on private citizens. Unfortunately, when it comes to police brutality, politicians, judges, and police bureaucrats have often miserably failed to protect the American public. 
While many police are bravely and steadfastly serving and protecting their fellow citizens, too many others are acting like public enemies. They carry guns, use military technology against civilians, are given special privileges, have extraordinary responsibility, and are entrusted with the protection of society as a whole - but do some Cops really break the Law? We know they do - and often. Some of the best criminals (best at being criminals) work in law enforcement, and your fate lies in their integrity. Police brutality law enforcement cop badge baton squad car patrol officer sheriff Police brutality is increasing at an alarming rate. Luckily, as Americans, we are guaranteed the freedom to engage in insurrection against those who would deny us our Rights. police brutality law enforcement! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MARYLAND COPS ARE SO DIRTY! BUT KARMA WILL GET THEM.</description>

		<description>This is one of the many examples of how society takes pot so seriously. It&#039;s only a little bit of pot! A home got RAIDED BY SWAT because of posession of a SMALL trace of pot?!?!?!?!!??!!? A small trace is probably 2 maybe 3 grams!!! THATS ONLY WORTH AROUND $30!!!!!!!! The raid probably cost over $1,000!!!!!! Honestly this country is wasting so much money on arresting, and imprisoning innocent pot smokers. Pot smokers are NOT criminals. Don&#039;t even get me started on how the police handle these raids. Just bust someones door open, maybe when the family is have a nice dinner. &quot;Oh how was your day?&quot; &quot;Oh mine was just grea-&quot; &quot;BANG&quot; &quot;POLICE FREEZE!&quot; And especially how the had M16s pointed at a 12 yr. old!!  And they cuff up the whole family and search the whole house which probably takes about 2 hours tops. And for what? 3 GRAMS OF POT?!?!?!?!?!? And then they are put in cells without there rights read to them and without a phone call for 8 hours! I really hope nothing like this happens to another family.</description>

		<description>Okay, now that all the police haters have posted their rants and raves lets take a look at the other side of the argument.  

First off let&#039;s realize that their is no information/quotes/statements made by any member of the State Police, District Attorney&#039;s Office, or Carroll County court system.  Therefore, the only information we have in here is what is given to us by an obviously pissed off mother and wife.  An application for a search warrant is usually a very lengthy document.  The writer only submits one sentence of what is usually a 5-10 page application.  That statement probably was included in the search warrant but that does not mean that the judge solely granted the application based on that one sentence as the writer suggests.

Now let&#039;s look at the whole situation. By the ages and dates given it would appear that her son was an adult when he was twice arrested for possession of an illegal drug.  Then a search warrant was issued for whatever reason on his house and amazingly once again marijuana is found.  Either this kid has the worst luck of anyone on the planet or more likely, he routinely abuses illegal drugs, doesn&#039;t care about the consequences to himself or his family and probably still routinely abuses illegal drugs. So the State Police effectively did their job by three times successfully finding a crime being committed, arresting the criminal, and did so with no harm to the safety of anyone involved.

I don&#039;t use illegal drugs but I think it would be safe to say that a drug user values their drugs and wouldn&#039;t randomly leave their drug behind just to forget about it.  This says that either the user planned to come back and use the drugs or that the father was in fact the owner of the illegal drugs.  The writer states that her husband took claim of the drugs &quot;acting as a father&quot;.  Since when did it become considered being a good father to lie to the police, commit perjury in court, and not allow your children to feel the repercussions of their actions?

Finally, it was stated that the gun charge was dropped.  This is a flat out lie by the author of this story.  There is absolutely no charge for owning a shotgun; referred to as a &quot;long gun&quot; in the State of Maryland.  The shotgun may have been confiscated but there would have been no charge associated with possessing it and therefore no charge to be &quot;dropped&quot;.  More likely the gun was returned after verifying the owner and verifying that the owner&#039;s criminal history did not disqualify him from owning a gun.

So before you are so quick to jump to judgement about the actions of the police department give a serious look to the circumstances involved and the obvious bias of the author.  Very rarely does someone affected by a situation like this give all of the facts and usually omits many things that may not look favorable for them.</description>

		<description>It is frighting how the police abuse their power in Maryland. I have a neighbor called state police told them so many lies.Told the police I had the birds poop on their mail box,told the police I had the rabbits and deer make paths to their house.Told the police I gave them a flat on vacation(don&#039;t even know where they went).To sum it up police came to my house in Somerset County with K-9 dogs,police car back up with hand on weapons(2 times).My wife is sick and old,walks with a cane,I have had open heart surgery/kidney cancer.I am a Disabled American Veteran,the police did all this on no evidence,I have never been in trouble,no record of any kind.Put my name on a police report for no reason or record. I had to get a lawyer for a $1000(they got to lie on me for free) to send a letter to the neighbor and their 40 year old son(Kevin),after he ran us off the road(attempted vehicle homicide),came to our home told my sick wife and me he was going to kill us. I CALLED THE STATE POLIOCE THEY WOULD NOT COME OUT AND TELL HIM TO GO HOME,TROOPER AT DESK SAID HE HAS TO KILL US FIRST BEFORE THE STATE POLICE WOULD COME OUT. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHY MY NAME WENT ON A POLICE REPORT.NO EVIDENCE,NO CHARGES. I WAS TOLD TO PUT A STEAK ON THE GRILL AND FORGET ABOUT IT. THEY CAME LATE AT NIGHT 2 TIMES UPSET MY WIFE SO BAD SHE HAD TO GO TO HOSPITAL. WHAT A COUNTRY TO HAVE FOUGHT FOR. I KNOW THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPENS IN MEXICO AND OTHER 3ed WORLD CONTRIES BUT IN AMERICA. I DID CALL THE  STATE D A OFFICE. NO RESPONCE YET.</description>

		<description>&quot;Please note that we are the only county in Maryland that does not have a county police department.&quot;  

The solution is for the decent people of Carroll County, Maryland to get together and elect a sheriff who then deputizes other locals.  On petty charges like this, the decision to raid would come down to the local sheriff who is elected by local people.  These people at some point chose to give up their local county sheriff in exchange for tyranny from some fascists in the state capitol.  Decentralization is the key but this message if falling on deaf ears in the age of globalization.</description>

		<description>Each of these police officers who participated, along with the DA &amp; the judge that signed the warrant, need to be summarily executed.  I&#039;m not kidding.... They need to be lined up in front of a firing squad and shot to death until they are dead, dead dead.  They are traitors of this country, and do not deserve continued existence.</description>

		<description>There is only one way to get justice in a case like this: You have to have the money for attorneys to sue all of them in federal court for civil rights violations. Also, suits can be brought in state court for damages.

  Probable cause is so specific and must have so much evidence involved, that this judge who signed this warrant is either brain dead or has zero respect for the law and constitution.

  this would be thrown out in any court...all one has to do is plead NOT guilty, take NO deals, and force them to embarrass themselves trying to justify an obviously faulty warrant, or drop the charges. They will drop them, and if they do not, the next court up on appeal will.

  Sometimes you have to go through several levels of corrupt and ignorant right wing morons before you finally find a court that does not want the shame of upholding such nonsense..and you will win.

  But without deep pockets, justice is almost always denied in this nation. The scumbag cops who did this have no morals and should never be allowed police powers...it is a shame. Sickening, isn&#039;t it? The person with a soul reels at the cowardly actions that the police take hese days...it is sick and I am sick of it.

  Perhaps someday we will see actions taken to teach rouge cops a lesson they will never forget; but that takes people who are fed up with a broken system and have the resources to actually make a difference by direct action events targeting bad cops.

  Maybe someday we will regret allowing the thug cops to abuse our neighbors while we do nothing..</description>

		<description>Just what a family with a kid who does some drugs needs. A SWAT Raid.
 I don&#039;t know what this kid&#039;s deal was/is but what I have found in my line of work (at risk kids) is that the families who have a kid with a drug problem are usually families that are in a hell trying to get their kid straight. Because their kid has some pot in the house or if they have a kid with a bad drug problem---this does NOT MEAN that the parents condone what the kid is doing. What these families really need is some help, some outreach programs to guide them through this dark place they are in. What they DON&#039;T need is a bunch of SWAT goons breaking down their door, holding them and their children at gunpoint and ransacking their home!

How bad can the crime rate in this country really be if this type of stuff is what the police focus on? It&#039;s sounding like the police don&#039;t have that much to do so they are making up things to do.
Why don&#039;t they get back to fighting  r e a l  crime....you know, murder, robbery, rape, muggings etc?</description>

		<description>Maryland State Police, hunh? The same degens who were spying on all kinds of non-violent organizations. As a couple of people called it above- The United Police States of America. Go have another drink of your favorite drug, you flaming hypocrites</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;“I know my rights” and they dont have a clue. Those that are unaware are unaware that they are unaware.

Yep, totally consistent w/, &quot;one not knowing, what they do not know.&quot;

This is bogus, and a waste of band-width; the US &#039;War on Drugs&#039; is totally bogus, as illustrated by this.  If there were an intelligent commitment, we could do so much, but, there are forces way beyond the comprehension of average people that control this jive BS.

&quot;Think globally, act locally...&quot;

If, and, or when you can ID the source of the quote, then we can speak intelligently to one another.</description>

		<description>After reading some of the rants on this blogsite I may have to reconsider my belief system. Perhaps there are a great many among us who need to live in a slave state where every act is watched and every move is controlled. I can asure you of one thing, all the uninformed who, instead of opening their eyes and ears and attempting to learn something about the system we have grown up under, insist on low brow name calling, will be some of the first that will be rounded up and sent off to the concentration camps. 

There is a lot of information on the internet that is free (at least for the moment)to educate you about what is going on in the world. Why waste your energy yapping about the mistreatment given you by law enforcement when you got caught doing something very stupid. You could learn to be a positive force to bring about beneficial change in our society by gaining some comprehension. I hear people say over and over again &quot;I know my rights&quot; and they dont have a clue. Those that are unaware are unaware that they are unaware. 

My advice---quit yapping and start learning!!!</description>

		<description>I live in Carroll County also. The cops up here are real pricks and harassed us at every turn. It&#039;s relatively rural and there was a fair amount of drug use going on. I was pulled over because &#039;I looked suspicious&quot;. They tore my car apart, kept me on the sidewalk without a jacket in the freezing cold, but never found my stash =). The cop was spitting on the ground in front of me and grabbed my junk while frisking me. I shit you not!

Fuck you, Sykesville cops. You are the biggest pieces of shit out there. You&#039;re not protecting or serving anyone by pulling people over and searching them (the residents of your OWN FUCKING TOWN). You&#039;re nothing more than Barney Fife fuck-holes.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a resident of Carroll County, Maryland. It&#039;s a quiet, rural county on the border of MD and PA that&#039;s mostly farming and suburbs. Hunting and target shooting are both popular out here, so, yes, lots of homes will have guns. It&#039;s true that we don&#039;t have a county police department (though that&#039;s probably going to change soon) but we do have a Sheriff&#039;s Department that shares general policing duties with the MSP, as well as small city and town police agencies with their own local jurisdictions. In my limited personal experience the local LEOs are professional and even a bit laid-back. 

The county has had a couple dangerous situations in the last few years, including a couple armed barricade situations with seriously dangerous people in residential neighborhoods. MSP SWAT teams were used there, justifiably, I think. But this police home invasion seems entirely unwarranted. I had no idea that it had happened once, much less that it&#039;s a common thing among petty drug offenders. Frankly I have to wonder about that, but I do want to know more.</description>
