The Case of the Flour-Filled Condoms, Settled

Remember the story of Janet Lee? She had some condoms filled with flour as a fun stress reliever/phallic gag and took them on the plane with her.
In the space of a few hours on Dec. 21, 2003, Janet Lee landed in a Philadelphia jail cell, where she would remain for three weeks, held on $500,000 bail and facing 20 years in prison on drug charges.
She filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against the police (after all, holding her for three weeks for possession of flour?)

She just settled for $180,000. As part of the settlement, she'll be allowed to meet with the police and ask them how they managed to be so incredibly stupid.

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.
