Outsourcing Justice: Vancouver Police & Marc Emery

On September 28th 2005, the Vancouver Public Library hosted a marijuana law debate called "Cannabis Conundrum". Marc and Jodie Emery attended along with their friend and fellow activist, lawyer Kirk Tousaw.

The debate panel included Doug Lang, a Vancouver Police Department veteran of 30 years. One month earlier, the VPD had worked with the DEA and Canada's RCMP to arrest Marc Emery and raid his business.

After the debate ended, someone asked about VPD's cooperation in Marc Emery's extradition. Doug Lang explained that the VPD investigated Marc's seed selling in 2002 and took the information to the Crown (the Canadian federal prosecutor) in 2003 to lay charges...

...but the Crown refused to charge Marc in Canada, so the file was picked up by the DEA in the United States.

We did not know about the 2003 investigation by the VPD. It's an important example of the injustice of Marc's extradition. This video helps demonstrate that the USA sought extradition based on charges that were refused in Canada, even though Marc operated business in Canada at all times.

This is just one of the many questionable aspects of the political persecution of Marc Emery...

R-complex, Prince Charles looking inbred.

Canada = corporation

United States = corporation

"Canadian" Citizen = property of corporation

"United States" Citizen = property of corporation

So let's talk about how WE are really so different. If you are not masonic you are property. Better know something about Sovereignty quick folks.

Much love to ALL my brothers and sisters AKA Earthlings.

Peace,

How bout we strive for police having no involvement in marijuana what so ever..

They're just covering their own asses.. their excuse is always theyre just playing by the rules and doing their jobs.. Thats what they tell you after they arrest you , rob you and release you without charging you .. its time police put having a conscience ahead of having a pay cheque.

Decriminalization does not put and end to organized crime. It does however encourage the illegal production and sale of Cannabis.

@thefakeyeti a very good point. it would be hard for the rest of the world to take potheads seriously if all the world sees are the the stereotypical "loser pothead."

it's the people that have solid jobs, treat their families well, are productive members of society all stood up, it would be hard for the rest of the world to say that all cannabis users are a bunch of lazy, stoned slackers.

and the lazy, stoned slackers should learn when to keep their mouths shut.
