"Les Misérables" Opens in Boise

A 19-year-old Boise man is charged with felony delivery of marijuana after police say they found a gram of pot and $2,000 in cash on him early Friday morning.
Plus they charged him with resisting arest because he was "uncooperative."

I wonder why--they've proven to be so reasonable. Just like the lifetime gun ban he now faces.

Follow the money$, one gram of pot is costing us/taxpayers county jail time. Court time for all the government employees in that operation, along with a public paid lawyer for pot head. Prison time, at $40,000 dollars per year. All over one gram of pot.
Clearly the system is not out to protect taxpayers which by far and large in Idaho are growing families. In today's world the Idaho family needs to not be taxes for crap like this. The cops are not on ticket missions giving out hundreds of petty tickets in a few days. There's no traffic school in Idaho so every ticket sticks to a drivers record and the insurance goes through the roof.
Meridian cops just slapped felony charges on 4 teenagers who had the nerve to shoplift 45 bucks of stuff from Walmart. Its all for the stats having all those felony arrest to demand and take by force more money from the private citizens.
Examples of this are everywhere across America. We as people have lost our meaning because the parasites in government are self serving to scam the people because they/parasites have the power and the force. We are being ruled by the gun, no question about it.

I'm not a dope smoker because I've seen people muddy the mind with that, but could anybody even roll a proper cigarette with one gram?

A gram? Are you sure that's not some typo? I mean, seriously, there's probably a gram of cocaine on the dollar bills in my wallet, does that make me arrest-bait? One gram really is not that much mass, no matter what substance you're talking about.

Underage drunk. Battery. He and another guy chased and fought with another man and a woman. The dope was packaged for sale.

Whatever you think of dope laws and cops, it's not as if this kid was sitting in his living room, minding his own business, enjoying a couple bong hits and old South Park episodes on the tv, only to be invaded by the dreaded "jack booted drug thugs".

Granted the kid is a first class idiot, and was begging to be busted. However one gram of pot isn't an amount of that drug to be called, felony sale.
Here's the deal in a different light. OJ killed his ex and Ron Goldman. We all know that now because after the trial a photo came out that showed him wearing the shoes the killer had on. Same size too! My point here is the cops lied and doctored the case to stick it to OJ. The cops were getting back a blacks for Stacy Koon going to jail in the Rodney King matter. The jury had an out, if the cops lie I can't believe anything the state puts on. OJ walked.
The bottom line here is the cops are lying about the kid having a gram packaged for sale.
If anyone is OK with the cops lying to charge people with crimes they didn't do, then they better be careful because they may get what they are asking for.
Bottom line here is, the cops had plenty to charge the kid with and didn't need to lie to make up charges that were not true. The taxpayers have plenty of idiots to pay for in the corrections system without putting people there on BS and made up charges.

"The dope was packaged for sale."

That is meaning free sentence. Seriously. It conveys absolutely nothing other than that the pot was in a "package". Just what is a "package" in this context: a "baggie"? An envelope? A folded piece of paper? Rolled in a "joint"? And it would be "packaged" for sale if he just _bought_ it too -- it most certainly does not mean he was _selling_ it.
