Cop Bakes Marijuana Brownies

A Michigan police officer stole marijuana from criminals than took it home slipped it into his wife's brownies, baked it and than the two later ate them. Cpl. Edward Sanchez resigned last year, however the department is not pursuing charges against him or his wife. The investigation began when Sanchez phone 911 reporting what he and his wife had done and that he believed the two of them could be dying from an overdose of marijuana. He was quoted saying

“I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.”

One City official is going to investigate further as to why the police department will not press charges.

These are things that irritate people to an enormous extent. Here you have a police officer who has broke the law, not just broke it but in the worst possible way. He is crooked and yet nothing happens, no charges no repercussions for his actions, nothing but his own choice to resign. Yet the restrictions that are now placed on US players and the ability to play poker. If these players break the law they will be arrested, and as we have all seen in the news without any hesitations. It does not matter if it's the 20 year old college student or the 70 year old granny playing a game of cards, they will be charged.

Look at the way the government has went after some of the bigger names in online poker and gambling. There was no leniency. A person who is supposed to protect and uphold the law in the utmost manner is able to break it. Why is that there is always a double standard when it comes to the law and how it is enforced? I know this story does not directly relate to poker, but indirectly it does and I think it's about time people start questioning their officials on how thing slike this can happen. It's ironic how something like online gambling can be restricted for whatever reasons and yet someone who intentionally breaks the law and abuses the judicial sysyem can just walk.
