Police Give back 2lbs. - Cannabis Law and Politics - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

In response to a court order, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Friday afternoon returned 2 pounds of medicinal marijuana to a dispensary from which it was seized earlier this month.
A Sacramento Superior Court judge Friday morning ordered the Sheriff's Department to return the marijuana to the Common Roots Collective.
On Dec. 1, deputies accompanied code enforcement officers who executed an inspection warrant at the dispensary on 52nd Street in Sacramento, said John Fuery, the collective's attorney.
While at the collective, deputies seized 2 pounds of marijuana, citing a federal crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries, Fuery said.
Though California voters approved Proposition 215 legalizing medicinal use of marijuana, federal authorities still consider it illegal.
Fuery argued before Judge Robert Hight that deputies violated federal law by seizing property when they had an inspection warrant, not a search warrant.
Hight apparently agreed, and signed an order Friday morning that the marijuana be returned to the 800-person collective.
"Police are giving back the marijuana this time because they committed such a grievous federal violation," Fuery said. "They did not obey search warrant law, and that's federal law."
Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jason Ramos said deputies seized the marijuana under the "plain view doctrine," not because of the inspection warrant.
However, he said the department will not challenge the order.
"We'll certainly respect the court's decision to give it back," he said.
Deputies met with collective representatives for the handoff.
"It has been returned," said Sarah Orbanosky, who assists with the collective's healing services and classes. "It's all back."

I would consider it tampered with and charge them 10 bucks a gram for replacement. Who knows what they did to it while it was in their hands. Peace GS

I would sue them and say the Meds are no good now due to them NOT storing the Meds properly.
