Marijuana Dispensary wins $100,000!
When Sky High Holistic was subject to a police raid, it was hardly the end of the business. In fact, it ironically gave the marijuana dispensary a big boost, $100,000 to be exact.
The money comes from a lawsuit alleging police harassment of the marijuana dispensary, settled by the City of Santa Ana this week. Santa Ana has also agreed to drop charges against a dozen employees accused of illegally operating.
It's a good thing the cameras were on; The dispensary cameras, that is. Apparently, the cops hung around the establishment long after the raid occurred, playing darts and making demeaning comments about the staff. And once they got comfortable, they indulged in Sky High pot-laced edibles.

Prosecutors are very creative when it comes to cops. Judges are very creative when they are found guilty. The cops are still on a "plateau".

You got it in 1.
To my knowledge, Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas has NEVER gotten a conviction against a cop.
OC judges seem to be a fairly competent and conscientious bunch.
Now, there was a race last time around (in Cali, judges are elected) where the Democrat was the dirtbag and folks who voted strictly along party lines didn't do the system any favors.
