Search and Seizure

The proposed measure redefines reality to make a drug crime out of literally nothing.

It's barbaric enough that the benighted state subjects drug suspects to this treatment, but toddlers, too?

The ACLU sues South Dakota over the forced drug testing of a toddler, Detroit residents again sue the dope squad for killing dogs in pot raids, Pennsylvania's governor signs an asset forfeiture reform bill, and more.

What a shocker! Give cops less legal reason to do searches and you get fewer searches.

Rigid adherence to decades-old drug war protocols can have perverse consequences.

President Trump signs a bill that will expand the drug testing of people seeking unemployment benefits, the West Virginia House is taking up medical marijuana, Colorado legislators have crafted a plan to deal with any federal attack on recreational marijuana, and more.

The Congressional Cannabis Caucus is getting down to business, yet another poll shows strong (and increasing) support for marijuana legalization, Trump names an acting drug czar, a California safe injection site bill is moving, and more.

Illinois lawmakers want to see marijuana legalization, California lawmakers want to protect marijuana legalization, and more.

Colorado high court rules cops don't have to give your legal weed back if they seize it, changes in the Arkansas medical marijuana law go to the governor, there's more asset forfeiture activity in the states, Colombia's drug crop growers organize, and more.

The cops have a nifty little tech toy that can track your phone to within a few feet. Should they need a search warrant first?
