The Drug Assessment Minneapolis Minnesota May Be Another Dirty Trick

By Richard Gibson


Anyone doubting that law enforcement is at war with the people needs to wake up. The American War on Drugs was never intended to solve anything. It is simply a tool to criminalize average people from the moment blue lights come on behind them, to the moment they are faced with the reality of a drug assessment Minneapolis Minnesota.

Driving under the influence is a strong weapon law enforcement uses to stop, harass, arrest, and ultimately destroy individuals in small communities. Millions of people go through State run DUI schools where they are told that any and all drug or alcohol use is abuse even when they have no drug history. For those with prescriptions for opiates or medical marijuana, the DUI has become the weapon law enforcement uses to ruin them.

If a person is pulled over by an officer intent on finding illegal activity, then they can claim the accused appears to be altered or intoxicated by something other than alcohol. The prescription holding patient will show a positive result for whatever it is they are prescribed. If this is an opiate, even with a prescription, they can be charged with a DUI and assessed like any other thrice-flunked boy on prom night.

Once they assess that the accused has a problem with their legally prescribed pain medication, and they will, they will establish a treatment program that they must follow. In about 70% of all the assessments, they will attempt to send the accused to a treatment center that is usually hundreds of miles from their home. To add to the preposterous nature of the program, all of this is done at the expense of the accused.

Such centers room four to six adults together while also enforcing employment with companies close by who agreed to hire them in exchange for tax breaks or cheap labor. The center controls the money they make to cover all fees/fines are paid while also keeping a share of money for the center itself. The accused may spend six months to two years before they are released, often still on abusively long periods of probation.

This gets particularly ugly when a community decides to clean up an area of undesirables, such as the homeless or low income neighborhoods. Once a person is incarcerated, loss of their job follows. If they are forced to spend months to years in another state, then tax liens and mortgage foreclosures are tidy ways to forcefully evict a person due to their economic status or possession of lands being sought for rezoning.

Hard addicts should have access to this level of care so they can practice sobriety by relocating as a means to radically change their life and pursue personal commitments. Unfortunately, the majority of those being subjected to these programs are weekend warrior pot smokers, New Years drunk drivers, and elderly or middle-aged people on prescription opiates. They get caught in a web of laws designed to promote the a system feeding on those most vulnerable.

Such neighborhoods are revealed by the overpopulated law enforcement presence within small communities. When there are five squad cars at each intersection, at any given time of day or night, residents may want to accept that they are being hunted like dogs. When this police presence strongly appears to target anyone sporting older cars, then the aim of those in power becomes obvious.
