CNN Marijuana Article
Like the title says, I am not sure how I feel about this case. While I do not agree with the tactic the feds used to raid these establishments, I also can tell I do not have all of the information. I would like to assume that there had been some circumstances that indicated illegal activities at these establishments but the article did not detail it enough. They focused more on the companys' reactions to the incident, and not on why the feds actually raided in the first place. This could be due to a lack of knowledge on CNN's end, or it could be that the feds did not release that information to the media yet. Either way, I do not know if I can decide if the raids were legitimate or not based on the limited information given in the article. In my opinion, there is plenty of room for law enforcement to bend the rights of businesses who work in a trade of this fashion, but it does not necessarily make it right. While I agree that this type of business needs strict regulation and constant observation, I do not think that the occasional police raid is justifiable unless absolutely necessary.
