POLICE TAKE THE CAKE

When I read the Aug. 1 article "Ferry drug bust an 'abuse of power'," I
thought: "What's the big deal, it's an illegal substance and what do I care
since I don't smoke dope?"

But the Aug. 3 article "Lawyer cuffed and jailed on suspicion of pie
possession" changed my outlook totally.

What if I got caught on a B.C. ferry by a pastry-sniffing police dog with a
six-pack of muffins in my trunk? I don't even want to think what the
consequences might be if they catch me with a full load of Timbits.
