121 arrested for buying too much allergy medicine

Authorities in Evansville, Indiana, must have nothing better to do than snoop at everyone's over-the-counter cold and allergy medicine purchases.

Drug warriors there have collected logs from local pharmacies and used them to hunt down 121 people who buyed too much of the stuff. They were charged under a state law barring folks from buying more than 3 grams in a week.

Not 3 ounces. Not 3 pounds. Just 3 GRAMS.

Does this product even come in packages that are that small?

Needless to say, there's no evidence that any of the 121 have been making meth. Why, even in a mid-sized city like Evansville, there's not even enough market for 121 meth cooks!

Let's also get this abundantly clear: The drug cops' inspecting the logs in unconstitutional. It was a search without a warrant or probable cause. Period. End of discussion.

If these cases are prosecuted, and if I was the judge, I would tell the prosecutor not to EVER bring frivolous cases like these into my courtroom again - unless the prosecutor wants to do time for contempt of court.
