    @nutella

    Yeh, this was common in the late 60's too. I lived in Chapel Hill, N.C. ...... the local police detective would knock on student's doors early in the morning (6:30). Answering the door half asleep, a warrant would be shoved in the face of whoever answered the door.

    Several policemen would enter the house and throw a bag of grass behind a couch or chair and then be "found"

    The prick who did this shit is now sheriff of the county ...... yeh, crime pays.

    Want to ruin somebody? ......... just plant some drugs in their car.
