Michigan police use asset forfeiture to take cash from patients

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Over at The Agitator, Radley Balko takes Michigan police to task for using asset forfeiture laws to seize cash from patients and employees of medical marijuana dispensaries operating under Michigan state law, under the justification that the dispensaries knew they were selling to street dealers. Excerpt:

Earlier this month, police in Oakland County, Michigan raided a medical marijuana dispensary in the town of Oak Park. The deputies came in with guns drawn and bulletproof vests, with at least one wearing a mask.

They made no arrests, but they did clean the place out. The confiscated all of the dispensary’s cash on hand and—in a particularly thuggish touch—also took all of the cash from the wallets and purses of employees and patients. In this update, police officials say the raid was the result of street dealers telling police they were buying marijuana from the dispensary. I suppose we’ll see in time if that’s true, and if it is, if the dispensary was actually aware that it was selling to dealers. But at first blush, the claim sounds like a pretty good way for street dealers to put a legitimate competitor out of business.
