News » Detective Admits to Using Fake MMJ Card in Michigan Bust





The infamous “This is Michigan, not some Cheech and Chong movie” raids and trails took a new twist when Derek Myers, an undercover Oakland County Sheriff’s Office detective testified that he used a fake medical marijuana card to gain entrance and buy marijuana from dispensaries in Michigan.

Myers made the card himself, under the direction of the Sheriff’s office, and entered the dispensaries to purchase marijuana. Now, nine people are being charged with illegally buying and selling marijuana based on the evidence gathered by this and other detectives who now admit they were the only ones breaking the law.

Myers admitted that he’d attempted to gain entry to the dispensaries without a card and had been denied. “I made up the card so I could buy marijuana,” he testified on the witness stand in court.

Sound like entrapment to you? It did to the defense attorneys as well.

Not that it mattered. The Oakland County prosecutor and Sheriff aren’t trying to bust these nine people for breaking the medical marijuana law. They’re attempting to challenge Michigan’s medical marijuana law itself.

Of course, since they don’t have to pay the court costs, since they aren’t required to spend time in jail until the decision is made, and since they don’t lose anything if the case doesn’t end in their favor.. that’s right, they have nothing to lose here.

They won’t lose their jobs, their pensions, have a felony arrest record following them around for life, lose huge sums of money to legal fees, etc. They lose nothing. Because they are government.

Welcome to the “justice” system.
