Still...Ibuprofen? Really? I mean, you can buy it in the store.

It's reaching.

If they had a regular OTC bottle of ibuprofen I could see the reaction. But having shit loads of prescription drugs is the same if it's Valium, Vicodin, or ibuprofen.

I kinda disagree, theres no real street value for motrin, where as vicodin, valium and even sudafed are sold/used illegally.

True, but I'm sure you know, a prescription is only meant for one person.. There are physical as well as legal issues with sharing.

Just because one can get you high and is worth a lot more on the street than the other doesn't mean there should be a double standard IMO.

I wonder though, if it were a large bottle of antibiotics in a different name would she have been charged with distribution..

would be a stretch but it could be if there were a shortage or if there was something like an anthrax scare and cipro became like gold

Distribution? Really? Anyone can go buy it at the supermarket.

Reaching.

Unnecessary roughness.

Fact is, it's a political move. It will likely be dropped, but is a way for cops to signal the judge that they're fucking pissed.

It's a statement.

It also says "we're being dicks". It also wastes court time, and everyone's money, including the taxpayer's.

Are these people nice folks? Probably not (safe to say, I think).

Is this necessary? No.

I don't see why this drug needs a prescription if you can just take 4 pills instead of one.

That's just it. It's a technicality, and they're beating her up with it. Padding her charges, if you will. It's nonsense.
