CHiPS Sued for Pot Theft

The L.A. Times reports on a suit being filed today in California by Americans for Safe Access (ASA) against Gov. Schwarzeneggar, the California Highway Patrol, and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer to end a CHiP practice of confiscating pot from Prop. 215-legitimate medical users. Until the state starts actually supplying official I.D. cards to legal medical marijuana users (approved by the Cali legislature but not yet funded), say the cops, they have to enforce the laws against pot possession.

Here is the full text of ASA's filing in California Superior Court for Alameda County.
