    definitely a clear example.

    It should never have happened to begin with. I’m not even sure why cops want that information.

      Because 40 years ago a b list actor who consulted fucking psychics decided that America should go to war with a product that anyone can make in their garage.

        The problem there is that, that’s not where the bulk of illicit drugs are coming from.

        Prescription controls means either the doctor is writing bad scripts for straw buyers or they’re being made in Mexico and smuggled in. Mostly the latter (and no, this has nothing to do with asylumn seekers)

        Cops are not going to be able to look at the data and have probable cause that Grandma Suzzy is selling pills. It won’t even give them reasonable suspicion; unless they already have probable cause. Which means they don’t need it.
