David Mayo Injustice

I’ve mentioned the story regarding Grand Rapids Press reporter David Mayo a couple of times here.  My first post was titled Need Hydroponic Growing Equipment? - Pay Cash or Get Busted, and I firmly stand behind that advice.  My second post regarding Mayo was titled Indoor Growing Equipment Invoice Bust of David Mayo - Operation Green Thumb, and I mused at the end of that post that all charges should be dropped against Mayo and his wife, based on the methods the police utilized to obtain their warrant, and stated that we should soon find out if the charges would be dropped.

Well, the charges against Mayo and his wife have not been dropped, which shows terrible judgement on the part of the judge involved in the case, Kent County Circuit Judge Dennis Leiber.

The case against Mayo was predicated on the obtaining of invoices, from some shadowy organization called Operation Greenthumb, which allegedly show that David Mayo purchased indoor, hydroponic growing equipment.  Based on this information, the police obtained Mayo’s electrical bills, which I assume they obtained with a warrant, and noted that Mayo’s home appeared to have mold growing on the exterior, and based on this information, a search warrant was issued against Mayo’s home.

This shadowy Operation Greenthumb, for which there is no Google link, unless you’re interested in community garden projects, is evidently funded by a Office of National Drug Policy Control program called the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program, but I am unable to definitively state if this is so.

It is a travesty that this case against Mayo is moving forward.  When judges are walking hand in hand with the police, there is no justice.

The most recent Grand Rapids Press article in regards to Mayo is titled Judge denies Press sports columnist David Mayo’s effort to discredit police marijuana search.
