Cop Mistakes Pistachio Shells For Weed!!!
Excerpt From Article:
Spring Grove police stopped Pahlman for speeding on Jan. 5, according to a criminal complaint filed in McHenry County court. When an officer mistook the pile of de-shelled pistachios in her passenger seat for marijuana, the officer asked her to step out of the car, said her attorney, Philip Prossnitz.
A search of Pahlman’s car yielded no marijuana, but police found a bottle of the narcotic pain medication tramodol in her coat pocket, according to a motion her attorney filed.
Prossnitz said he now is trying to prove that police did not have a strong enough reason to search Pahlman’s vehicle.
The prescription for the pills was in a family member’s name, although Pahlman does have her own prescription for the medication to help treat chronic pain from fibromyalgia, Prossnitz said.
A year earlier, when Pahlman said she was driving a family member to cancer treatment, the pills fell out of the relative’s bag, and Pahlman put them in her coat pocket for safe keeping, Prossnitz said.

If a police officer cannot distinguish the difference between pistachio shells and weed it maybe time for this police officer to find a new career.. Hopefully this lady’s lawyer can get this fuckery dismissed!!
