Guerrilla War Update
Despite the recent spate favorable interest in medical marijuana, I was still referring to a “tax-supported alliance of federal and local police agencies” being engaged in “guerrilla war” against Proposition 215.In fact, I had long been reasonably certain that similar collusion between state and federal law enforcement entities was behind the rash of prosecutorial “hand-offs” that followed the unfavorable Raich decision by SCOTUS in June of 2005, of which the prosecution of Dustin Costa in the Eastern District of California is merely one example.
Today, Google led me to the closest candidate I've found for a smoking gun , linking Raich to the "hand offs."Because I know the account by Pat McCartney and Martin Lee is accurate and their link is still active, I’ll post it without comment because I'm busy and also I know it will (only) be read by those with an interest.
