Still...Ibuprofen? Really? I mean, you can buy it in the store.

It's reaching.

Not in prescription form... Since it's a prescription and it wasn't theirs, that's illegal. You post a ridiculous article where cops don't enforce the law (the situation) and then bitch about when they do. Cops enforcing the law = bad. Cops not enforcing the law = bad. Nobody wins... I mean, maybe you're just so important you should tell cops which laws to pick and choose enforcing.

Given how much else they had going on with them, I am sure they just wanted to throw the book at them. Can't say I feel sorry for these people, they should of just went with store bought instead of someone else's prescription, but given their record it's probably lucky that's all they had with them.

If they had a regular OTC bottle of ibuprofen I could see the reaction. But having shit loads of prescription drugs is the same if it's Valium, Vicodin, or ibuprofen.

I kinda disagree, theres no real street value for motrin, where as vicodin, valium and even sudafed are sold/used illegally.

True, but I'm sure you know, a prescription is only meant for one person.. There are physical as well as legal issues with sharing.

Just because one can get you high and is worth a lot more on the street than the other doesn't mean there should be a double standard IMO.

good point, I yell at people for that all the time, they tell me so and so had some antibiotics so i took them

Distribution? Really? Anyone can go buy it at the supermarket.

Reaching.

Unnecessary roughness.

Fact is, it's a political move. It will likely be dropped, but is a way for cops to signal the judge that they're fucking pissed.

It's a statement.

It also says "we're being dicks". It also wastes court time, and everyone's money, including the taxpayer's.

Are these people nice folks? Probably not (safe to say, I think).

Is this necessary? No.

That's just it. It's a technicality, and they're beating her up with it. Padding her charges, if you will. It's nonsense.
