Don’t laugh (cop calls 911 to say he’s afraid he and his wife are overdosing on confiscated pot)
(posted by Paige)
I found this story over at Blonde Justice. If it were not so very unjust, it really would be funny. Well, actually it’s unjust and funny (Cheech and Chong style):
A police officer and his wife from Dearborn, Michigan cooked up a batch of *special* brownies that included marijuana he confiscated from a suspect. He then called 911 because he thought they were dying of an overdose.
Key lines include “I think we’re dead” and “Time is going by real slow.” I love how the reporter just can’t even keep a straight face, and you can hear another reporting actually snorting with laughter off-camera.
You already know the serious side of this. This represents every dirty cop, every stupid cop, every clueless cop. Every prosecutor and potential juror should be required to listen to this. What in the world was he thinking?
Are you wondering whether the cop and his wife are serving time a) for smoking an illegal substance and b) for embodying corruption? The answer is…you guessed it…no. Apparently, he just had to resign. Hard life.

He thought they were dying from pot!? I nominate him for the Darwin Award.
And hey, I thought cops almost everywhere were subject to random drug tests?
