It was a non unanimous lengthy opinion, but they could have easily ruled the Exclusionary Rule was not applicable here, as it is not absolute in nature, and 42 pounds of Pot, IMO, warrants the ER void under any non egregious Constitutional analysis.
Thanks, I agree, it's 42 POUNDS, not a few ounces. He is a pretty big time pot dealer
Interesting that when I google either of their names, only one article from 2018 comes up. Apparently she was charged too. They had 37 vacuum sealed bags of pot. That's a lot of pot!
A Wilmington, North Carolina woman and Wheeling, West Virginia man are facing felony drug charges after a Cheyenne-area trooper found 42 pounds of marijuana in their SUV.
The traffic stop led to a search of the SUV and 37 vacuum sealed packages of marijuana were found in luggage in the rear cargo area.
charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and felony possession of marijuana. If convicted, they could each face up to 15 years in prison.
Right rosey, where is the bulk amount drawn at to not be suppressed, 42 pounds, 200,1,000, a ton?
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is, especially after what you said to me. I guess we are the odd balls here who think he should have been charged. I consider this 42 pounds to be a large load. As I've said what if it was heroine or fentanyl would they have also gotten off? I think majority may think that it's "only pot" which is legal in a few states. Mine included because NJ loves to be able to tax something.
Speaking of legal pot, I read they're getting between $300 to $500 for an ounce of pot here at the dispensary. I googled to find the street price which is below. It sounds high to me since you can buy it legally for the same price in some places.
It also has prices for a pound, when you think about 42 pounds of pot in terms of money, you're talking over $80,000 in that now non bust.
LTU2 had said to me, what if the cop would have found a dead body in the car instead of pot? So now criminals can get off easily due to this law?
To the people who think the court got it right How would you feel that these two got off on having a dead body in their car, a dead body of a person that at least one of them probably killed?
Google answer when I asked legal ounce price in NJ
Quote:
How much marijuana costs in New Jersey. New Jersey has some of the highest cannabis prices in the country, according to the state's CRC. In 2021, the price of 1 ounce of weed in New Jersey ranged from $320 to $480.
The cost of marijuana on the street can vary, mostly related to its location of sale. Generally, you can find marijuana for about $10-$20 a gram.
Since a gram has enough marijuana for about two small joints, you could say that a single dose of marijuana will almost always stay under $5-$10.
Even in places where marijuana is illegal, it is still one of the easiest street drugs to gain access to. This is likely why it tends to stay so affordable and common.
Whether marijuana is legal locally will also affect the price of both legal and illegal marijuana in that region.
An ounce of marijuana will typically cost about $250-$300.
A pound of marijuana will typically cost about $2,000-$3,000.
[quote=riffwraith;63338850]While I agree that drug law enforcement has not been a rousing success (blame the Dems open border policy for a HUGE part of that), but how are cops contributing to the problem?[/quote]First of all, this is NOT a 'democrat problem'...drugs have flooded into the country for decades, despite which party has held the POTUS office, even when Trump was in office, the Heroin epidemic was raging.
(That, imo, is a major indicator of 'COLLUSION').
The other thing...the police are guilty for their continued AGGRESSIVE enforcement of drug laws...which are technically a violation of the Constitution...(but like Ive said before, police and many citizens PERSONALLY believe 'drug laws' need to be aggressively enforced...so they tolerate the violation.)
Law enforcement is also guilty on another aspect...'their' opinion is that drug laws NEED to be aggressively enforced, (they have lied to the public about this for many years now), even though the past decades prove that these laws are not effective in the slightest...so what police are doing, is justifying to the public that drug laws should always be aggressively enforced, (even if the laws dont even work)...Hmmm, now why in the world would 'police' feel that way I wonder? LOL...
Police are acting the same way they did as the 1930s and 40s...they are LYING about the dangers of drugs, in order to continue aggressive enforcement.
The defendant was in disagreement with the arrest from the scene:
Levenson asked that the marijuana not be admitted as evidence, arguing the traffic stop was unreasonable and that the trooper’s own driving created a safety hazard. The state district court rejected the request

You realize that amount could be kept in a single suitcase right?

While 42lbs of pot is a lot like you said it could be a single suitcase/large bag, possibly two. It’s not like the car had to be packed to the roof with bundles of pot
For reference 2mm in hundreds is about the same weight
Doesn’t matter if it was 42 grams or 4200 pounds. The ends don’t justify the means if the means are unlawful. That’s NOT how it works.
