POT BUST STORY STIRS COMMENTS FROM AFAR

Re: Bust of local couple raises questions about medical marijuana
policing (Nov. 3 Keizertimes).

Perhaps Capt. Kuhns would have a clearer understanding of the law if
he read the statutes, rather than the Oregon Medical Marijuana
Program's website. Oregon Revised Statues Section 475.323(1)
unambiguously states: "Possession of a registry identification card or
designated primary caregiver identification card pursuant to ORS
475.309 does not alone constitute probable cause to search the person
or property of the cardholder or otherwise subject the person or
property of the cardholder to inspection by any governmental agency."
