Those darn hippies and their bumper stickers

A pro-pot group alleges that an Aurora police officer pulled over one of its members this week because he had a marijuana legalization sticker on the back of his vehicle.

Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation, or SAFER - which persuaded Denver voters to legalize adult possession of a small amount of marijuana - alleges the officer told Paul Wansing he was "offended" by the sticker and cited the 25- year-old chef for having a cracked windshield and an air freshener dangling from his rearview mirror.

The officer, who wasn't identified, allegedly told Wansing that he wouldn't have been cited if he didn't have the sticker on his vehicle and that he didn't want his children to see such "trash."

*** Back 10 or 12 years ago I had longgggggg hair about halfway down my back. One December day I got pulled over one day by the police and was asked to show my insurance and such. I obliged and the policeman said "Is that marijuana I smell in your car?" I was like "Are you out of your mind? That is the Christmas tree I just bought." I showed him the tree in my trunk and he was very embarassed. His partner told him that if he thought marijuana smelled like that he needed to look around for a new supplier. Anyway, I was telling my insurance agent the story about that when I was switching insurance companies. This old dude who works at the office says "See that's why you should cut that hair. People will think you are a druggie." I was like like "look old man, I don't care what people think. Do you care that people think you are an incontinent babbling fool that can't see anything past the end of your arm? How many tickets have you had in the past 3 years?" "One." he says. "Well, you got me beat." He smiles. I said "I don't have any. Thank you."

Insert Mike Tyson joke here...

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A man who bit off part of his girlfriend's face and spit it out on the sidewalk was convicted of assault. Gareth Whyte's lawyer contended prosecutors could not prove his girlfriend was seriously injured or disfigured. But the prosecutor argued Whyte should not get a break just because the woman had a talented plastic surgeon. "I'll agree the defendant is not guilty when he can put this back," said prosecutor Heide Mason, holding up a jar containing the girlfriend's flesh. Whyte, 27, was found guilty Thursday and could get up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced March 1. During a fight last Mother's Day, he bit the left side of Dorothy Pritchett's face, through skin, nerves, fat and muscle, exposing a gaping hole below her eye, prosecutors said. Pritchett testified that Whyte had bitten her once before, complaining that her clothes were too sexy.

*** I think I just saw this on Smackdown this week.

First bestiality then rape..... WHAT NEXT?!?! JAIL!!!

Lyndonville teenager who pleaded no contest last week to sodomizing a dog in 2004 was arraigned Thursday in Vermont District Court on allegations he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl on New Year's Day.

Jeff Plourde, 18, pleaded not guilty to sexual assault, domestic assault and violation of probation during an afternoon hearing at the St. Johnsbury courthouse and was ordered held without bail by Judge M. Kathleen Manley.

According to an affidavit filed by Lyndon Police Chief Jack Harris, Plourde and a friend, Chris Stark, twice forced the girl to engage in sex acts with them after the three smoked marijuana at the Plourde home in Lyndonville on the night of Jan. 1.

Caledonia County State's Attorney Robert Butterfield said Thursday afternoon that Stark, who had failed to appear in court on unrelated burglary, petty larceny and probation violation charges, turned himself into the police Wednesday.

Butterfield said he has not filed charges against Stark in connection with the alleged sexual assaults but expects to do so in the near future. In the meantime, Stark is being held in jail for lack of $15,000 cash bail.

The girl, in an account of the sexual assaults she provided police, said Plourde told her before the assaults that "We are going to have sex with you," the affidavit said. When she disagreed, she said Plourde told her to shut up "or we are going to rape you."

Police said the girl "passed out" after smoking the marijuana and woke up to find Plourde and Stark sexually assaulting her. She told police when she began to scream Plourde put his hand over her mouth.

"I got up and formed myself into a little ball, started to tremble and I started crying," she told police, according to the affidavit. The girl conceded that she also engaged in consensual sex with Plourde, but not with Stark, after the assaults.

*** I don't understand these kids today.

I should have went in for jury duty

Two council CCTV camera operators have been jailed for spying on a naked woman in her own home.

Mark Summerton and Kevin Judge, from Sefton Council, Merseyside, trained a street camera into the woman's flat.

At Liverpool Crown Court, Summerton, 37, of Kirkdale, Liverpool, admitted voyeurism and attempted voyeurism. He was sentenced to four months in prison.

Judge, 42, from Waterloo, admitted misconduct in public office and was jailed for two months.

He was cleared of voyeurism last month.

Summerton was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register.

Team leader Vincent Broderick, 52, of Bootle, Merseyside, admitted misconduct in public office on the grounds that he did not see the woman when she was naked, but knew the cameras were being misused and failed to report it.

He was sentenced to 200 hours' community service.

The images from the camera, including the woman without her clothes on, were shown on a large plasma screen in the council's CCTV control room in November 2004, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

Over several hours, she was filmed cuddling her boyfriend before undressing, using the toilet, having a bath and watching television dressed only in a towel.

Judge Gerald Clifton told the three men: "To dismiss what was happening as laddish behaviour, something that the 21st Century apparently condones, is absurd.

*** Boy oh boy does that remind me of a story. I once knew this girl who we will call Blondie. First met her around the age of 11-12. She once told me I was "a breath of fresh air" when she smelled my cologne when I walked by her. She was a really sweet girl. Just precious. Anyway they moved away to a city I won't name and I lost touch with her whole family. About 3 years later, a friend of hers called me and told me she needed to talk to me. So was it all right to give her my number? Now I was a friend to her older sister and her mom also and I had talked to her several times before they moved about some things she was dealing with. (Yes, I am a psychologist on the side.) Anyways I told her friend yes and about 6 minutes later the phone rang. She definitely sounded older and wiser. It was great to hear her voice again because she sounded strong. I asked her what was up and she tells me how great her life was now that she had got past some of her fears. She had just wanted to thank me for getting her started on that road. I was very impressed with her!! Then all of a sudden she says "Hey there is someone outside my window." I was like "Do you want me to hang up so you can call the police?" She was like "No, it's cool. If he's going to go to the trouble to peep me. I might as well give him a good show." I was like "I'm sure you are kidding." She was like "No I don't care."

I am sure she either became a popular sight for several different guys or was pulling my leg. I will never know for sure because I am never going to be looking for her. Well wait she is probably in her 20s now. hmmmmmm

The death penaly enforced old school style

Jurors saw dramatic video Thursday of prison guards frantically trying to open the cell door of John Geoghan, then dragging another inmate out after he strangled the child-molesting former priest.As the murder trial of Joseph Druce continued for a second day, the images — some in real time, others in time-lapse photography — conveyed the guards' desperate attempts to open the door after they realized Druce was inside.

Several guards are seen pulling on the door, which Druce had jammed shut with a book and nail clippers. After the guards retrieve tools to open it, Druce is seen being dragged from the cell. The crime itself is not visible on the tape.

Geoghan, 68 when he died in August 2003, was serving a nine- to 10-year sentence for groping a 10-year-old boy but had been accused in lawsuits of molesting 150 youngsters.
