Michigan Police And Laws ripoff Troy Michigan

Here is my situation, and while there is probably nothing that can be done about it, I just want to spread word around like so many others are doing about the rediculous laws, especially in Michigan.

When I was 19, police came to a party at my friends house because of a fight that had broken out. Those of us that didn't run off into the woods were all given breathalizers and charged with Minor in Possession of Alcohol. I basically got a slap on the wrist with 25 hours of community service and a STOP class that took up a few hours one Saturday.

About a year later, 3 months before I turned 21, the cops showed up at a Halloween party at my apartment. They were called there for loud music, which for some reason took about 8 cop cars to tell us to turn it down... Again that just stormed into the house without our permission and began conducting breathalizers. My 2 roomates were 21 at the time, and were charged with Furnishing Alcohol to Minors. The rest of us got MIP's.

Being in Troy, Michigan, where everyone in the judicial system has a school bus shoved up their ass, I didn't get off so easy this time. I recieved 18 months of reporting probation with random drug tests, an IMPACT weekend for Alcoholics, and substance abuse counseling once a week. And all of the costs on top of that. Mind you that the adults that "bought us minors the beer" didn't get hit half as hard.

So I am currenty fulfilling my probation requirements, except that I missed a counceling meeting, which they tacked on 3 more months of probation for. i was doing ok until last week.

On my way home from a party at my friends house, (about an hour from my house), I was pulled over on the highway. I wasn't speeding at all(kept cruise control 2 MPH below the limit) and I wasn't swerving. They officers never gave me a reason why they pulled me over.

As soon as the officer (who was a sexy female cop) came to my window, she said "I smell Marijuana, where is it?" I replied that I was just at a house where people were smoking, but she didn't buy it. She said to get out so she could search the vehicle, where she found my pipe and a small bag of reefer. I was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, which is a violation of my probation. Now I probably face jail time, but I'll find that out for sure tomorrow hopefully when I go for my arraignment.

Now I know that there are going to be replied saying that I broke the law and that's that. But seriously, who gives a fuck about marijuana. It is proven to be less dangerous to your health or ability to drive a car than alcohol, but since alcohol is legal, it's ok to use. If the court system seriously has nothing better to do than ruin a engineering college students life by sending him to jail for weed, then they should all burn in hell. Potheads are the most non-violent people, we don't steal or hurt other people, we just want to chill out and have a good time. I see denver finally came around, and it's only a matter of time before the whole country does, so tell me, should I sit in a jail cell for 90 days.

If I had my way police wouldn't be able to pull people over. Their duty is to protect and serve. Not protect me from myself, protect me from thieves and killers. Get a life you losers, all cops probably grew up getting picked on, so they became cops so they could wear a faggy mustache and take their anger out on regular citizens. They are not higher than us, they are people too, and no person should have any more authority than any other person in America. If you don't agree with me don't bother replying, I am looking for support, because I know I'm not the only person who hates cops and knows that this is not the way our forefathers intended this country to be.
