Then let them charge me.
You guys are missing the point that I didn't care about the marijuana getting confiscated.
my device is my primary concern.
Also to the person who said I smoked pot in their face, I didn't.
They just saw we were about to but we hadn't yet.
The joint was done by them on the drive here.
I'm just gonna wait for some legal people to post some useful information other than getting harassed , and people claiming moral justice.

Well, you have at least 3 people posting there own experience with the law after they were in the same situation. I suggest you call up the cops and ask to speak to a court provided lawyer after accepting charges and take your chances. Stick it to the man.

At the point where there is a bong and MJ and the smell of MJ smoke in a car, thats reasonable suspicion to assume that it had been used to smoke MJ.

I am going to show these cops that charging and seizing equipment "because you can" isn't the right attitude to take.
While I respect your guys' opinions on my state of mind at the time, one officer even said "This is one of the most elaborate operations I've ever seeN'.

Why would he say that? Is he enthused to walk back to the office seizing my stuff and tell his friends about how he made us line up behind the vehicle as if we were robbers?

lol you're an idiot. you think with your $700 you can 'stick it to the man' and how they shouldn't tread on the little guy because somehow you think that they just abused their power when the FACT was you were doing something WRONG and they, instead of punishing you more they, were punishing you LESS. if you're going to be as ungrateful as this then they should have really punished you to the full extent of the law and why? because they DO have the right to do so.

Yes I used it to smoke marijuana. But that doesn't change the fact these cops lied and said there is no way I can get it back.
Why would they have to say that if they knew there was legal proceedings that would protected them?
I think they know as well as I do if I show up in court and give a legitimate reason that I'll get it back.
There are alot of cops who think what they're doing is right, but that doesn't explain the acquittals and release of seized paraphernalia.

If you KNOW they lied, and you CAN get it back, then quit fucking asking us for help and get a real lawyer to help you get it back.

FFS.

Why the hell do you hit the enter key after every fucking sentence? And if you use the term 'moral compass' again I'm going to die of annoyance.

Volcanos are lame, anyway. Get a good heat gun (it has to have an accurate, variable setting), buy a decent bong, & then go to a headshop and order a slide that fits the heat gun. Put ice in the bong, put the slide in, grind the mj, set the heat gun to 356° F and put vaporize that shit up.

World's best vaporizer.

Volcanos are for losers.

Edit: Or you can just get this and a heat gun.

Yes I have 4 other witnesses who have nothing to gain by agreeing they heard this term too.
When I called he said this too and when I questioned him about it he got annoyed.
I think he knows it too (The MP)

I'd recommend talking to a lawyer.

Seriously, ATOT isn't going to be any help in this matter. Most of the people who post here are scared to death of anyone who even thinks of doing something as henious and criminal as smoking weed. It's people like you who are responsible for abortion, terrorism, illegal dog fights, gun violence, street racing, high oil prices, teen pregnancy, our bad economy, and the war in Iraq. :|

I'll grant you that walking around with a balloon full of vapor is awesome, but you haven't experienced marijuana until you've sucked in ice cold vapor. It literally tastes like candy.

Cold vapor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hot vapor.

He's not going to stop till he gets someone to back his argument on here.
So...

Yes, you were completely right, the cop is completely wrong, go get your vaporizer back. I would suggest breaking into the evidence locker Mission Impossible style, and get yo stuff back.

Are you joking? Most of ATOT is perfectly fine with smoking Weed. Have you seen how pissy we get when a kid gets jail time for doing weed? Its just that we hate STUPID people who do weed and then whine when he gets caught

lol dude, just give it up and drop the vaporizer. You were owned, and rightfully so, deal with it. Listen to your friends and everyone else in this thread, you have to be dense to pursue this. You seem so sure that you can beat this, so why are you even asking us? You apparently wanted everyone to say "aww man fucking pigs, stick it to the man!" but instead you got "you're an idiot." Forums are unpredictable, never come in with an expected result. Especially these forums.

That's what they did. They gave us a petty trespassing ticket, kept the weed and my vaporizer.
I could understand one OR the other.
Not both though. I'm not complaining, gimme a weed ticket or ticket in general and keep the weed. Don't take my machine that has more than one use. This thing isn't just to smoke weed. I know I was using it for that, but I also think that there are alot of people who use it for other stuff.

Who says they cannot do that?

You're getting hammered by people here because you don't realize how lucky you were to only be given a ticket and get your vaporizer stolen. In terms of legality, I'm not sure whether it even matters if you used the item or not - the fact that you had marijuana near it demonstrated intent to use it to do something illegal.

Because the side of the road we were on had houses behind us, but on the other side of the road had a fence saying "No trespassing" with the Canada flag.
So obviously they gave me a ticket in Edmonton's Jurisdiction if I'm not mistaken, since they have no jurisdiction over Canada and must handle my situation over to Edmonton.

I know that the road they patrol is the border of Edmonton and Garrison so if we're on the Edmonton side doesn't that mean that they overstepped their boundaries?

So get a slingshot and declare war. It's just the effing Canadian Army. You and your 4 friends could probably take em out. Unless they roll out their 1 tank.
