Had a Deer-Food Spliff Lately?

The Keystone Kops ride again. And when they destroy your property with their absurd drug-paranoid shenanigans, well, the judge says that's just too bad — no compensation for you. Via the Bitch Girls blog:

A federal judge says Harrison County Sheriff George H. Payne Jr. made an honest mistake when the sheriff destroyed what he and other law officers thought were marijuana plants, and the plants turned out to be deer food.

Read it and weep.

S'funny you know, billions spent on The Drug War & pot hasn't changed price in 10-15 years. I get delivered to my door in 20 minutes, guaranteed quality and AUD$90/quarter ounce (7.5 grams). It ain't no weak bush plant either, it is pure sinsemilla with no leaves or seeds. Cloning, what a boon! How much are your ekkies in The States? Here in Oz they range from $20 to $50 depending on whether you just want a giggle or you wanna be BARKING MAD OOOOHAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEE, whew! What a rush. Scuse me whilst I kiss the sky:-) Market forces rock.

Well, that's one way to keep those deer from being addicted to food...

Was the suit for the cost of replacing the plants? If is was, I can't see where it being an honest mistake makes a difference.
