Burger King sued over "Special Cop Burgers"

tell me how a cop could tell that marijuana was on his burger?
A hot piece of cow, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, onions etc etc, plus some pot.
Id think all the other ingredients would make it hard to TASTE and SEE the pot.
I am having a hard time figuring this one out.
unless its el cheapo weed, no smoker is gonna use his stash on a cop
suing BK is laughable as I fail to see any proof of anything. a field test for pot, dont hold up in court, especially on something that was perishable. ALSO testing, at a hospital they say, for marijuana intoxication is also NOT going to hold up in court as it is possible to test positive 30 days from ingestion of pot.

Seeing as the officers apparently ingested the marijuana, a simple blood test would provide proof (or lack thereof). Nevertheless, the whole thing is certainly laughable.

you cant prove anything but that they have had contact with THC within the last 30 days as THC is slowly removed by our bodies and not quickly like cocaine, heroin, nicotine or alcohol.
DWI's for pot fail to hold up in court for these reasons.

They could have smoked up before. They need the burger.
And really, how did they taste marijuana in their burger when it's covered up with so much artificial taste?
This happened outside of dallas a couple of years ago as well, except at a whataburger instead of the burger king.
If someone at a drive thru really wanted to serve food that would intoxicate a person, they would make some pot butter and butter the burger buns with it. Much less likely to be discovered than outright pot in the sandwich, and a bit stronger effect when you do eat it.

No references to asthma as in my earlier post, but:
"Children who ingest one marijuana joint may develop rapid onset of drowsiness, marked hypotonia, hypothermia, ataxia and nystagmus. Rarely, respiratory distress or coma may be seen. Decontamination must be undertaken if it is believed the child ingested more than one marijuana joint or cookie"

As I said, lucky the food was not given to someone else, for example, maybe one of the cop's children.
Personally, I don't think it's a laughing matter tampering with anyone's food.

I don't find it funny for this reason alone (I'll use myself as a reference):
I choose to not smoke or injest pot, regardless of what it may or may not do or whether it is harmless or not. I have made that choice.
These guys putting pot in my food took my choice away. I didn't ask for it. I didn't want it but I have to live with the consequences of it. Maybe I have a huge allergic reaction to it. Maybe I fail a drug test for my job and am fired. How is having two douchebags doing a prank which can have very serious consequences funny? I fail to see how but maybe I am just out of touch.
As gross as it may be, I can deal with a loogie burger, but this is way too much.
I think that this is a perfect case for a class-action discrimination lawsuit. Why should cops get such special treatment? We accepted it when they got extra saliva, public hair, and fecal matter, but the pot is just too much! Its time to organize! We need to sue Burger King back to the stone age! Well, not that far back...they need SOME investment capital; otherwise, when we win this lawsuit and pot is standard in all of their burgers, they will only be able to afford some crappy ditchweed.
I absolutly agree. It's fine saying "What a waste of weed" and "This is a Joke!" and "They're trying to get money!" but we go into this places relying on other people to serve us food, hopefully safe in the knowledge that there are practices in place to stop things like spitting in food, putting weed in food etc etc. Apparently, these practices need some revision.
I have a friend, and their sister was killed in a car crash by a boy racer loosing it on a turn going 30 mph over the speed limit. She smashed into a tree and it killed her. The boy racer walked free.
What I'm saying is that it's fine if you want to smoke weed, at home. It's fine if you want to drive fast, on a circuit. It's fine if you want to do things that don't affect other people's life, but if it does - you're a moron! I like to be in control of my own life - whether that's a small thing like making sure the food I eat is safe, or a big thing like not getting in the car with a racer.
The kids should be incarcerated.
Cops get special treatment. That is bad. I want pot and spit in my burger. I will sue to get it. I think others should to.
ingesting pot in a hamburger wouldnt impair them very much at all.
even so, i have full faith that they could operate their vehicle.
pot isnt alcohol people.
unless they smoke a ton they arent going to get so stoned they cant operate or do their jobs properly.
now i'm not saying the kids were right. no way. dont put stuff in people's food.
if they were smarter they would have sold it through the drive-thru.

hmmm... I'm a child (well, 13 years old) and I have asthma, and I'm pretty sure pot wouldn't affect me differently than anyone else. then again, i never have and never will try!
Expierience and statistics say....that you probably will try it once by the end of high school; and eventually notice that everyone does it, including the valedictorian.
I am 18, finished high school last year. Never have and never will voluntarily try pot. I resent you dictating that the affore mentioned young man will try it, like he has to fit into some stereotype.
