Today I read an article from "The Denver Post" about a couple who are suing the Fort Collins Police Department for damaging their confiscated marijuana plants. The police seized over three dozen plants from the couple because they didn’t have a permit for the plants. The couple says that the plants were for medical purposes and they just didn't have money to pay for the permit at the time. They did receive a certificate for possessing the plants shortly after they got out of jail.
This article is interesting to me because the couple is acting like they needed the plants. The police should have the right to destroy or get rid of the confiscated plants if they want to, they are, after all, illegal. I think the couple should not have the marijuana returned to them after they get out of jail because, whether they have a permit now or not, they didn't have one when the police took the illegal plants.
This article relates to me because it is pretty close to where I live and I think it is interesting that the people are mad at the police after they broke the law. People should not be allowed to get marijuana back that was confiscated from them. It relates to the world because people should know the laws and follow them. It doesn't matter if you are about to be following the law, if you break it at the present time, there should be consequences.
