Brickbat: A Classic Overachiever

Former Centre, Alabama, police officer Michael Kilgore has been charged with criminal conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime/distribution. The charges came after several drivers claimed Kilgore planted drugs in their vehicles during traffic stops. According to AL.com, Kilgore was employed by the police department less than a year, and the Centre police began reporting a "significant number of arrests, many of them drug related" starting two months after he joined.

They aren't quotas. They're just representation.

This is the Alabama that enslaved three-fifths of its population under Constitutional fugitive slave laws. George Wallace's State still keeps its prohibitionist chain-gang traditions alive and kicking for all the world to marvel at.

Two amazing things just happened:

1. A cop was indicted for planting evidence and harming people as a result of it. I've never heard of a cop suffering for such immorality, but have heard of many cases of planted evidence.
2. Many readers just realized, there are no laws or penalties for cops setting up people for crimes they didn't commit. They indicted him for "distributing" a controlled substance.

Begs the question: can you be arrested for throwing away controlled substances you find on your property? That's distributing it to the landfill.

Come to think of it, this gets into "No one is above the law", which we now know to be untrue, since there aren't laws against government employees setting up people to be falsely accused and convicted of a crime.

Next time you hear some politician say that, I hope a reporter asks about laws against government agents setting up people to be falsely prosecuted, and why haven't they been applied in say Trump's case?

Sure he planted the drugs, but the important question is did he claim to have smelled the drugs and then violate their search and seizure rights on his subjective, completely unreasonable, and perfectly correct and accurate sense of smell?
