A search warrant affidavit obtained by this newspaper shows that Avila picked up a box containing about 4 to 5 pounds of marijuana from a UPS store on Nov. 25, 2013. Avila then radioed a dispatcher to say that he would file an incident report.

Ooops, never turned it in. Just an honest mistake I am sure.

As the investigation continued, internal affairs investigators informed Avila he would be placed on administrative leave for failing to file 37 reports, one of them the report of the marijuana he picked up at the UPS store. When questioned, Avila told investigators that he used 2 pounds of the marijuana to train his police dog in February 2014, and when pressed, he acknowledged there may be more in the trunk of his K-9 patrol car or at his house.

And he admits they may find even more! But no charges, so he gets off. Worst case he might lose his job.

If a non-cop was found with that much illegal drugs, let alone a black person, I'm sure they would be prosecuted and locked up.

DA says the evidence isn't strong enought to convict. D:

There are always idiots who have to try and play the race card. Nice attempt at trolling, pushing your agenda, but you suck at it.

Used it to train his dog... & the dog ate it, right?

He'll get fired. It would be tough to make a case beyond that given chain of custody issues.

In California, where annual cannabis production is estimated at nearly 9M lbs worth ~$14B.

They should look into the officer's arrest history to see if there's suddenly a spike in suspects that were found to have a small amount of marijuana on them.

Article is very premature with the "no charges" thing. The public defender said they are not looking at charges yet, but the internal investigation is not over, so of course they aren't to that point yet. He was put on leave until the investigation is over. Once the investigation is concluded, then charges may be brought up.

I wouldn't give a shit if anyone was caught with 5lbs of MJ- why should I give a shit because it's a cop who radioed in and said he had it?

Because this forum is filled with weirdos with strange cop and robot obsessions?

Nope. Still doesn't make me give a shit.

Haha and then used two pounds of it to "train his dog" at home. LOL.

At this point I'm genuinely at a loss to see what behavior you guys won't defend. Apparently conservatives have decided that liberals hate the police, therefore they must love the police at all times, regardless of what they do.

This whole stupid thing has become yet another political culture war. Just like with climate change, conservatives are putting culture ahead of common sense.

I could care less if he smoked it and gave it out to his neighbors. It bothers me about as much as if he did the same thing with a case of booze.

Why the fuck do you care? It's a substance that's ridiculous to be considered "illegal" for a cop or anyone else. Oh that's right- because you're a spinning, hypocritical nitwit, as always.

Yup, black guy with 5lbs of marijuana is a low-life scum that should be in gitmo. Cop that has 5lbs of marijuana, no big deal. Marijuana isn't that bad.

Yeah, I wonder how many people the Richmond police arrested for marijuana in the last year, but apparently asking for the law to be applied to those enforcing it as well makes someone a hypocrite. You're arguing that calling out hypocrisy is hypocritical. Hahaha.

I think all drugs should be legal. You appear to think that because weed should be legal that corruption is okay within the police department when dealing with weed issues. I don't like corruption, so my view on it differs. I'm totally positive that if a young black kid got caught with 5 pounds of marijuana on him you would respond the same way. lol.

Hey, would that be ultra-shithole Richmond CA that was near the top of the list of most liberal shitholes in CA? Why yes, yes it would be!

Are you saying your ultra-lib mecca is a bad place to get caught with MJ? I thought you pricks were tolerant!

Newsflash dipshit: you're the one with the double standard, as usual. I don't think *anyone* should be getting busted for MJ, in ultra-liberal Richmond or anywhere else. The fact that you want to fry someone for MJ just because it's a cop just speaks to your usual totalitarian/hypocritical mindset. You're a prick, it's just that simple.

Oh god, you're trying that stupid list again. Didn't you learn your lesson?

I don't think anyone should be busted for any drug whatsoever, but because I'm not blinded by partisan rage it's pretty fucking easy to see that when the people who's literal job it is to incarcerate people with marijuana take no action against one of their own who is guilty of an identical crime that they are corrupt.

Again, you're apparently fine with police corruption so long as it's about issues you like. It's even funnier that you're trying to call someone else a hypocrite for pointing out your stupidity and lack of principles.

No body is saying kill the officer. No one cares about the marijuana in particular. The supposed "outrage" is that a cop can steal from the office and then not be charged. Now, the article is poorly written and is premature saying there will be no charges. There may once the investigation is over. However if this cops does get off for stealing from the department then that is not a good thing.
