So, I'm checking my email this morning and I come across this story. Nothing too exciting, just your run of the mill "basketball star gets assaulted outside a local strip club"...except for this:
Officers found a small amount of marijuana in the passenger side door of Pacer point guard Jamaal Tinsley's car, police said. Officers could not determine the car's driver or to whom the marijuana belonged, so no arrests were made.
Let me repeat that for you one more time:
Officers could not determine the car's driver or to whom the marijuana belonged, so no arrests were made.
Where I come from, if it's your car, it's your weed. Unfortunately, it appears that now the rule has been changed to: "If it's your car, but you're a celebrity, we don't know who's marijuana that is, so you're off the hook."
It's really a shame to see just where our society's morals are. What kind of message is this sending to the next generation? "It's ok to do drugs if you're rich and famous because you're rich and famous?"
