Cops Throw Innocent Woman in Jail for Three Months....for This?!?

Being arrested by order-followers just because you were in possession of something politicians said you couldn’t have is criminal all by itself. But can you even imagine going to jail for three months because you possessed a bag of cotton candy?

Dasha Fincher, was kidnapped by police and thrown into a cage for months—not because she did anything wrong—but because police couldn’t tell the difference between cotton candy and meth. Now, Fincher, who’s a new grandma, is going after the police who did this to her as well as the company who manufacturers the dangerously inaccurate tests cops used to take her freedom.

This horror movie for Fincher started back on New Year’s Eve of 2016, a day this innocent says she’ll never forget.

“Then they found the cotton candy in the floorboard of the car,” said Fincher.

As the video shows, the bag police claimed contained meth was obviously a bag used to hold cotton candy.

As Fincher noted, Deputy Cody Maples and Deputy Kevin Williams asked her what was in the bag. When she told them it was cotton candy, they did not believe her. According to the incident report, these expert drug recognition officers claimed that, “based on the packaging and the crystal like feature, Corporal Williams tested the substance.”

The officers then used the highly faulty field test kits which have been known to repeatedly produce false positives. Predictably, the cotton candy falsely tested positive for drugs.

Fincher then became one of many women and men to suffer horrific fates at the hands of negligent cops and their continued use of faulty field drug test kits enabling them to beef up numbers for the prison industrial complex.

In fact, tens of thousands have been convicted and served time — even earning the black mark of a felony — for crimes they likely didn’t commit, because the cases against them relied on horribly unreliable field drug test kits.

So prone to errors are the tests, courts won’t allow their submission as evidence. However, their continued use by law enforcement — coupled with a 90 percent rate at which drug cases are resolved through equally dubious plea deals — needlessly ruins thousands of lives.

Dasha Fincher is one of these people.

As WMAZ reports, this innocent grandma was put in jail for more than three months. Fincher says a judge set her bond at $1 million. In March 22, 2017, GBI lab tests came back and said there were “no controlled substances confirmed in the sample.”

((While in jail, Fincher’s daughter miscarried a baby and could not be comforted by her mother. Also, Fincher missed the birth of her twin grandsons.

“My daughter had a miscarriage. I wasn’t there for that. My twin grandsons were born. I missed that,” said Fincher.

However, if history is indicator, the only people to pay for locking up an innocent grandma for cotton candy will be the taxpayers. Cops don’t assume personal liability.

Sadly, Fincher’s story is extremely common and happens every day throughout the US. The standard $2 field drug tests, manufactured by The Safariland Group, have been proven to be unreliable. And according to the manufacturer, should not be used as a stand-alone test for convictions related to drug possession.

So, given the fact that these drug tests can’t be submitted in courtrooms as evidence and the company itself states that it should not be used by itself to convict people…and yet cops continue to cage people for failing these tests…is a pretty good indicator they they will do whatever they can to acquire the tools they desire to throw people in jail anyway.

Studies have shown how everyday foods, spices, and medicine tested positive in field drug tests. In one experiment, scientists even discovered that air could set off a false positive for these tests.

According to Forensic Resources:

“The director of a lab recognized by the International Association of Chiefs of Police for forensic science excellence has called field drug testing kits “totally useless” due to the possibility of false positives. In laboratory experiments, at least two brands of field testing kits have been shown to produce false positives in tests of Mucinex, chocolate, aspirin, and oregano.”

Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, a Ph.D. chemist and former FBI lab supervisor, has also voiced objections, saying that he has “no confidence at all in those test kits.”

According to the national litigation and public policy organization, the Innocence Project, at any given time there are an estimated 40,000 to 100,000 innocent people currently locked in a cage in U.S. prisons.

I’ve produced video after video documenting cops harassing, fining, caging and even murdering innocent people. In spite of the fact that these people haven’t harmed or threatened to harm anyone, policy enforcers who blindly follow the edicts of politicians continue to literally destroy countless lives. Why? Because man made so-called laws are designed to do two things that greatly benefit the ruling class. They are there to control people and generate revenue for those rulers. And this is ONLY made possible by the order-following enforcement class. The cops who claim to be protecting and serving you. Rather than protecting you and serving you, they’re harassing and collecting from you. They only ones they’re really protecting and serving…are themselves and their political masters.
