Go To Jail / Monopoly / Marijuana / Pot / Possession / Police Discretion / NTA / PTA / Book into Jail / Dress for Success / Michael A. Haber, Esq. **ARRESTED / **305DUI

20 y/o Micah David Dailey (that’s him below) did not dress for success.  Instead he dressed for a Karmic ass kicking.

Lee County Deputy Sheriffs must’ve had a hell of  a laugh when they popped Micah for misdemenaor marijuana possession and possession of paraphernalia on Tuesday, October 28th, 2014.

In Florida, while marijuana remains illegal (hopefully that will change, as an aside if you are a Florida resident and registered voter, then please vote “YES” on Amendment 2) these charges are misdemeanors which do not require a physical arrest.  In fact, more times than not law enforcement will issue a NTA / PTA (notice / promise to appear) in lieu of having to deal with the time, paperwork and potential for aggravation which comes with every jail booking.

However, even in such misdemeanor cases cops also enjoy the discretion to take to you jail, directly to jail, without first passing “GO” and sans collecting $200.00.

One day the Sunshine State will wake up, smell the sensimilla, decriminalize, regulate and tax, tax tax the hell out of marijuana, freeing up cops and courts, saving silly expense, generating jobs and tax revenue and letting the folks enjoy a nice relaxing smoke (which is a kin to a nice drink, minus all of the aggressive, violent and dangerous side-effects).

Memo to Micah (and the Folks):  What you wear can define you.  This shirt, while cute as a kitten / puppy, will not look good to the cops, in a booking photo, in front of a Judge or for the rest of your life when it follows you everywhere you go on the world wide web / in cyberspace for the rest of your days (and then some).
