Police Do Good Deed By Confiscating Awful Weed

It's a story familiar to everyone: Probably rich kid from the suburbs goes to Philadelphia, buys some weed, gets hassled by the cops but isn't arrested, then he runs home and concocts a plan to sue the police for brutality and posts about it on the Internet.

Okay, maybe it's not a story you've heard before. But, hell, it did happen recently. Apparently, Something Awful forums poster Popeye Jones tried to buy some weed from his friend in Chestnut Hill, but the cops hassled him while he was waiting for his mom to pick him up.

Oh, and there's a word filter on the forums apparently, so you get sentences like this: "Do I have any legal options? I'm assuming I don't since Philadelphia's police and judicial...well, the whole God drat city is corrupt."

So I go to my boy who works nearby and sells weed out of his job. Now, while I'm walking by the borders, I did notice a cop pull up, walk up to the door, call three guys over to him, and then they all scurried of. He kind of waved in our direction, as well. Not thinking much of it, I went to my boys job and picked up an 8th for $20.

Uhh, dude should be thanking the cops for taking his 8th. Twenty dollars? Getting weed for $20 is like buying a car for $1,000. It sounds good in theory, but the chances of buyer's remorse are approaching 100 percent. I tell you, there's no way that shit came from the 22nd Street pot house.

Tell me if my rights were violated by undercover Philadelphia police [Something Awful]

About 45 people sent that second story to me. No, it's not my apartment.
