Current Argus.com has the scoop on a Carlsbad, NM man who had his medical Marijuana plants and growing equipment seized by the Eddy County police. The ACLU is filing a suit against them, since this man holds a medical Marijuana card. Here's a snip:

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, which is representing French, said the deputies violated several laws including a constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.

In addition to asking the court to bar the state from interfering with his right to use marijuana under the medical marijuana law, French also seeks compensatory damages and attorney fees.

If something like this happened in California, the police would have a lot more to worry about than a law suit. Thanks Argus.
