The war was never on drugs. It was on poor people
working/middle class/inner city residents!
Exactly!!!
@@dead2802not middle class lol. They want and get the poor people
Yesssss why????
@@darkshadows9141 prison industry is always hiring. And deuteronomy 28
It's ridiculous that he would receive 10 years for a few plants while a corporation makes billions. That's an excessive punishment and should be unconstitutional.
Welcome to the United POLICE States of America!
@@NotDeadYETTTTpolice orders are most likely influenced from the local Governor and Mayor.
You are describing a function of capitalism. Wealth determines what is considered justice, also what laws are enforced or ignored.
At the same time their letting people out with Marijuana convictions. Crazy

Looks like justice was served. Some drug dealer selling drugs from a state park. This punk deserves 10 years.

War is a Racket -
Major General Smedley D. Butler
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
“To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket. 1. We must take the profit out of war. 2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war. 3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.”
True where and whatever the war is, internal or external.
Every village town city county and state in this country is either incorporated or a corporation.. you can look it up the tax information is public information.. city of whatever LLC the county of whatever Incorporated..
@@seanstephenson7081 think you know Exactly what 'Corporate Entities' we mean!
Thanks so much for sharing this story. Your channel is so important
My guess they stole his weed & to sell it themselves.
He only had a few grams. He had 8 immature plants, which I have pretty much at any given moment. He is facing ten years. I live in a free state.
@@horrido666beat me to it
Oh lord, yes, we gotta beat that competition!
That's exactly what they do. Like legit. I live there. They have always been this way.
I bet those jackboots are proud of themselves!
Thank u Taya and Stephen your both so amazing
There are many more way bigger fish to fry and they go after this dude just chillin in his camper not hurting anyone....Wow.....
Exactly, and sadly this type of bs has become the norm these days!
Quickly go donate a million dollars to both party's , and they will let you walk ..
This is ridiculous
Especially in west Virginia where the locals are dropping like flies from fentanyl, the cops go and harass...a guy with trees? Curious
@@MikeSmith-nu9wt
Funny how they did the same thing to Trump huh ?
Awesome reporting! End the war on drugs and go back to constitution!
Just another day at the pork barrel.
we need to just scrap the whole justice system and all of law enforcement at this point
Until someone wants your stuff right?
Then what are you going to do
The only people who wants my stuff is the government
So you’re an anarchist??
I've been robbed and not even had an officer show up to take a report. I got threatened with a big knife not even two weeks ago by a junkie. Cops never showed up. Police are useless 9 out of 10 times.
@@Austin-pp4pk if you think someone not wanting a tyrannical government is an anarchist sure
Welcome to America
On some parts if it, my friend. Move to a free state as soon as you get the chance.
Wow!! The HYPOCRISY!!! Got to love it.
It's all about money
Money being merely another tool to gain Power!
Yup! I bet if they paid taxes on his sales, he would have never got in trouble!
Money is the only god and Jerome Powell is its prophet
When has it been about anything else huh
Uh yah
That totally sucks
And people complain about capitalism as if we lived in anything close to a free market
This!!!!!!!!!!
Propaganda is a highly effective tool.
America is there to Help Israel and Corporate Greed does not matter who you vote for .
There are people who actually care about Americans. But unfortunately we have convinced ourselves that you can only vote Democrat or Republican.
@@pkingperk6628there really are not. Anyone who can get elected doesn’t care. Anyone who does care can never get elected. Such is American “democracy” where we only get to vote for candidates chosen for us by corporations
Please vote Biden though this time. Thx. Sincerely rest of the world.
@@donraneTbh I’m neither a democrat or republican. I’m 24 years old and I never voted in my life, but as a working man my life was much easier during trump. This is why I don’t care who says what they are going to do, however I do care about actions and under trump my life was so much better. My question is why vote for someone who makes it harder to be more financially stable?
@@KingRickIs444please understand as a much older conservative that Mr T actually wants to put the death penalty for drug dealers he has said those words out of his mouth while Biden actually reduced the scheduling from 1:00 to 3:00 that's actually in our best interests. He is not the one that is on the side of the billionaires that is Mr T giving those corporations tax cuts and that is how this starts it is not trickle down anymore it is trickle into their jet fuel and their Golf Resorts. The country has recovered better than any other country at 4% unemployment 50 million new jobs and businesses being brought back which helps keep people from resorting to hard drugs to begin with because they have opportunities available to them. If you don't vote this time for Biden Trump is promising to basically run up our debt by giving out billionaire tax cuts deregulating and taking the EPA down to its knees because that's how corporations make money at our expense please do not think otherwise because he is literally said nothing but Pro Corporation Pro billionaire and has literally given no platform or plan that he is planning on doing for the not so privileged people of this country there's a lot more of us and we are the ones that have to pay that debt it might seem like it's not a big deal to vote for someone who can give a good pep rally but it's more than a fire and brimstone speech that puts us against each other. If you want your voice heard by someone who tells you they want America to be stronger together you've got more of a shot than trying to yell into the wind at a billionaire on his Golf Resort. If you took out the personalities and ask yourself what is important to you and ask yourself if the party of Lincoln is okay with neo-nazis carrying Chinese tiki torches chanting Jews will not replace us driving through a crowd of people and killing someone over a Confederate statue is something that is a reality of History it's not the Confederates lost the war and that was not the party of Lincoln we are not Nazis supporters and neither were Jews or Nazis at our civil war. The reason why this election is so important is because those of us who are older do you know what's at stake especially those who are conservative who have seen their party change and the level of hate that they have brought with it has never been like this before Fox News never used to be so divisive and filled with lies in misdirection I watched them change. I also don't sugarcoat stuff I see what's right and what's wrong and in black and white on paper there's a lot of us that don't even realize we have more things in common with Democrats then we do with the GOP especially this day and age. But affordable housing Child Care Health Care your Social Security and Medicare being saved for your future that you pay into that is your money or if you're far enough away from it you're not concerned it's your parents or grandparents ability to get through their old age. And if you listen to him tell you he's going to finish deregulating and take the EPA out and if you watch the Supreme Court take out the Good Neighbor policy that prevents down when pollution that's what's at stake. Please just give it some thought but this time around if you want to have a wide open selection of any type of candidate if you vote blue and they can have both the House and Senate and actually get things done then more of our little people problems can be addressed like decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level and a whole bunch of other things because we will have a seat at the table if we don't there won't be a seat at the table we're headed towards the handmaid's Tale on steroids. Sounds good until it's reality. But this case here is virtually a case of authoritarian overreach and hypocrisy while they stand behind their Christian nationalists hyper fundamentalist takedown of the little person.
Bit of overkill there!
This country is sucking right now
Now?
@@MDuggiesYeah, now…
@@TLAS This country has been on a massive downturn since Bush dude
@@OnewingedAngel69 Nixon started this war.
Always has, it just has to affect you directly for you to care about it.. smh
Absolutely disgusting.
Double standards!
Okay so in my state recreational marijuana is completely legal and sold at licensed stores. If a regular person tries to sell weed before the legalization it would have been a misdemeanor.
Now it is considered felony tax evasion.
Thanks for your content
Weed just needs to be legalized. Hate that it gets denied every year in WV.
And people are out celebrating “freedom” today… What a disgrace
The war on drugs is over it's not the drugs it's the poor
One rule for the rich and different rules for everyone else
Those cops obviously havent watched Breaking Bad. That is a domaine.
My lungs, my choice.
My cosmic consciousness, my choice.
They don’t care about the weed, he wasn’t paying taxes on it. They want their cut.
If they didn't have a warrant, anything they found inside is inadmissible.
They got the warrant AFTER so ya technically when it gets to federal/supreme court it'll get thrown out. By this corrupt judge he's fkd
They just have to say they smelled pot and they can enter. BS stipulation.
@@cat_boi1753 Not anymore. The supreme court has ruled that the smell of marijuana can no longer be used as probable cause to search your vehicle.
The corporation pays for this.
A friend of mine in East Lynn West Virginia sold his entire property and moved his family to North Carolina 20 years ago because of Oppression by the local police
If that’s all he did , then we have a weaponized DOJ.
There is no cop accountability
Show em the pew pews if they want to play wild west games.
CiViL w A r is just around the corner and it's going to be EpiC!
Police are eliminating the competition of their big donors 😮
This is ridiculous! What would be the tax on that? I know this is about money.
He needs to sue them
I remember this one and 10 years is out of control he deserves zero jail time
State is invested in the big grower not the guy trying to save a buck.
We’ve lost the war on drugs a long time ago.
I think this needs to be brought to the ACLU attention. I think we should all write letters and ask Biden to further decriminalize on a Federal level to prevent this kind of autocratic hypocrisy and it's just a way for the cops to make money off of the people who aren't giving them perks.
get Him a "fund me " & a lawyer for Cody NO search
warrant they just busted into his Small-RV
Cody did not give Consent to search
They just busted in
He wanted to see their search
warrant
They didn't have one.
Violation of his fourth amendment right NOT to
be Unlawfully searched
He was in a campground
The government doesn't like competition.
That’s wear Virginia for you
uncle Sam does not like competition kids. do what the gov says not what it does.
that wasn’t even competition lol. 6 plants is enough to get yourself personally if your a stoner, it will get you at least maybe half the year depending on how much your smoking. but he would have had no more than 1 and a half lbs. they stole dudes stash for the year is what they basically did. you must buy from corporations the gov said 😅
Common sense was just flushed down the toilet.
Now ain't this something
Unless I woke up in Russia this morning
You'll smoke this government weed and you'll like it 😅
And we all know why because the government not getting a piece of the pie💯% Truth🤝
No one thinks the war on drugs is over
The system is bull$hit.
The ppl need to take back our government. We have the right to rule ourselves not corporate greed.
I live in West Virginia. And I'll say first-hand West Virginia is a little backwards on things and our politicians and law. Enforcement need to grow up. The state is loosing out big time because of Stubbornness.
How are they exactly losing out big time ?
The ridiculous range in misjustice here is incredible. Some murderers get five years, some non violent drug offenders get thirty years. And sometimes theres a reason for that but usually its the system just manipulating itself for its own benifit. This place is so great in some ways but just the worst in others. And they dont want it fixed.
The rich need to be held accountable as well as the police. Until we the people unite, there will always be injustices like this one and more.
We need to spread this around and get a petition started
We have let this happen it been getting worse for the last 400 years or so are we ever going to fight back
It’s not really a war on drugs. It’s a war on normal people waged by the greedy and the worthless who for now have all the power and no heart or spirit at all.
Isn't this the epicenter of oxyctin?
End the war on all drugs legalize all drugs
Genuinly wanting to know this, but how is that legal? A camper counts as a private domicile, and the campgrounds rule technically only apply to the areas outside private domiciles.
That’s bs we need to stop paying taxes
Then SS goes broke 🙄
Vote no on prop 36
All for big pharmacy but not the little guy who can't defend himself
Biden's America
The Rich get Richer, and the poor can't try to come up, that the way it is. As they slowly destroy the middleclass!
That the bad thing about making it legal is these big company are gonna make all the money
This is why I DO NOT have ANY respect for any "police" officer, "judge" and even less for any DA
Its called sedition and treason.
War against the poor.
I live and grew up in milton, just look into how corrupt their officers are all around, how many tickets have you see fully paid for 2 mile an hour over the speed limit.
If marijuana is illegal in that state, you have to abide by their laws..
There is plenty of people that grow in the state that I know personally this dude had to have done something else besides just growing
Sounds like the same bullsh*t they've always done to us.
Marijuana is safer than alcohol. Hashtag safershirts
Maybe but marijuana does more harm than good, it can help some people, but most the time people get hooked on it and it ends up being bad instead of good. I’ve lived in a state that has laws against marijuana and I’ve lived in a state that has laws for marijuana. And in the pro marijuana state there is more drug addicts, homeless, etc.
@@Austin-pp4pk thumbs down
@@JaredAllaway my dads done research and he is a doctor with lots of experience and he found that marijuana is more often harmful then good; he did say that it can help some who use it for legitimate purposes and who do not abuse it. But generally it does more harm than good in most people.
@@Austin-pp4pk I guess we'll agree to disagree
@@Austin-pp4pkand in the states that don't sell it there are more deaths for dui ,incarceration for dui.
everyone's a drunk
Laws for rich & laws for the poor
Take that s*** to trial
People in West Virginia are very smart. They’ll come to a reasonable conclusion.
they fine him to pay a billionaire to grow in a massive state subsidized operation.
Things are terrible all over North America.
This is why they don’t want anyone to have their “2A rights”!!
West Virginia is a proud 2 amendment state
Yep
They're losing out on taxes. They could have been spending on the road. Money for seniors money for veterans money for schools
It’s called “corruption”……
Literally supposed to be a mistomeanor for up to 49 plants...
Car breaks down at the wrong place at the wrong time.....some BS! ESPECIALLY when the state has taken M’$ from corps starting growing ops....if you are one of their’s, it’s cool af....if not, see video💯🤮
Hope he does get 10 years and a felony conviction.
If you want to use drugs move to Spokane Washington. I heard that place is real nice after legalizing them. A great example of what legalizing drugs will do to a city.
Except washington legalized every drug. Legalizing weed would greatly help WV
The FDA is the problem with the legalizing of weed .
these cops r like the dudes that were 30 yrs on a remote island where they thought the war is still going but its over for years😂
Wwwhhhaaaattttt the flip.....this is like the 4th or 5th thing iv heard this week with police acting crazy and its only Tuesday
10 years for 8 plants, 2 years for beating a pregnant woman and habitual offender…🤔 makes sense
This is what you tell a tyrant cop that violated your rights you say if you violate my rights, I will sue you personally the department and the city or town you will lose your qualified immunity, and I will attach myself to your paycheck and if they are retiring, I will attach myself to your pension
Its total BS. I live in nearby Huntington, WV. But if he was at a camp ground he was on federal property. That's probably much stiffer penalties than if he'd been on private property
It's all about who is padding the right person's pocket enough
