Police issue annoyed press release after pot arrest

May. 30, 2017

HAMPSTEAD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire police department has issued a public service announcement with an odd mug shot after a man was arrested with marijuana in his car.

Hampstead police said in a release Monday, “as a public service announcement — it is illegal to possess recreational marijuana in New Hampshire, even if you only ‘smoke it in Massachusetts.’”

WMUR-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2r64Kco ) the announcement came after the arrest of 27-year-old Selket Taylor, who was pulled over for using his cellphone while driving. ... Police say they arrested Taylor after they saw he had a bag of marijuana in a cup holder.

Taylor has been charged with possession of a controlled drug, transporting a controlled drug in a motor vehicle and use of an electronic mobile device. In his arrest photo, Taylor is sticking out his tongue while his eyes are closed and arms are crossed.

1. Is there anything dumber

than the authorities getting annoyed about their own laws?

They should think of the man-hours they are wasting on guys with small bags of weed, not to mention the harm that befalls the weed-enthusiasts themselves in being subjected to the "justice" system...
