After picking up my granddaughter from Ramona Middle school we chatted on her day and I asked; "Anything unusual happen today?" Most of the time her answer is no, just another day at school, but today she said yes.
She explained to me that the La Verne Police Department paid a visit to the school with drug sniffing dogs in tow, but she wasn't sure if they visited all the classrooms or just her particular class?
After introducing himself and the dog and explaining what they were about to do, the dog went to work sniffing the thirteen and fourteen year olds back packs, seeking illegal drugs of any type.
Unfortunately for my granddaughter, the dog starting acting oddly when it came upon her back pack, so without requesting permission, the officer began searching through her things, and hit pay dirt.
Yes the officer pulled prepackaged pills from her back pack and asked her "what is this?" And she explained it was used to stop back pain and cramps. Then he asked, in front of all of her classmates "do you really need this?" Is it really his business to ask?
As we waste billions to combat drugs, the war on drugs was lost many years ago.
Here's what was discovered in her back pack.
So why the heck haven't you brought thunder down upon the police department for conducting and illegal search?
