Sometimes, even the po-po need a toke too

We totally understand that with such a stressful job involving chasing and catching all sorts of law-breaking mofos (including gardeners of what may be illegal plants depending on where you live) from podunk to broadway, they’d need a way to uh, unwind. But to throw it in our faces like that? That’s just criminal (nope, not buying the anonymous-prankster-dunnit explanation)… Can we execute a citizen arrest for this one?

Pot plants found outside cop shop

A US news reporter uncovered a marijuana plantation - outside the front door of a police station. Janna Goerdt, of the Duluth News Tribune, found 12 plants growing outside West Duluth police substation in Minnesota. She heard a rival news team talking about “something interesting” in front of the police station and decided to check it out. Goerdt took a walk around the building and found the marijuana plants. She plucked one of the leaves and brought it back to the newspaper. “I needed some evidence,” she said. “I didn’t know if anyone would believe me. I didn’t think it was a big deal. I just thought it was rather amusing.”

Duluth City gardner Tom Kasper was given the leaf for inspection and confirmed that it came from a marijuana plant. West Duluth police Lt John Beyer pointed out that he, his police officers and the public use the backdoor entrance to the police station. The front door was usually locked and not used. “The only thing I can say is somebody has a sense of humour,” Beyer said. “Now they’ll read about it in the paper and say: ‘Yeah, that was me’ “ (via Ananova).
