In a few weeks, a lawsuit alleging that officers participating in a Minnesota State Patrol training program crossed a major law-enforcement line by supplying marijuana to people and observing them as they got high.
Attorney Nathan Hansen told FOX 9 News he represents five people who were given marijuana.
"No consent form –– not even a perfunctory question about medical history," Hansen said of his clients' experiences.


"I got stoned with a couple of cops," said protestor Michael Bonds, who goes by the name Panda.
Bonds, who suffers from epilepsy and schizophrenia, told FOX 9 News he also got a cheeseburger and cigarettes for participating.


One officer testified that instructors "skirted the line" while another confided that "morals are gone" in the program.
To illustrate the conflict, one officer is quoted as allegedly admitting, "I don't know what the big deal is. I just gave them marijuana. It's not like I hurt anybody."
Yet, Hansen is preparing to sue over civil rights violations, claiming that officers used vulnerable people as lab rats and then covered it up. .

I am confused by the "no consent form" comment...


I'm pretty sure sparking the lighter up and puff puff passing can be considered consent by any reasonable person.  Signature on paper or not.

They should be happy in the company of others who have no morals either, then.  I think the state can accomodate them.
