Someday I will have to put up a very long post about my father in law Jim Gallman's arrest and conviction of importing 4 tons of Columbian pot into the US and storing it on his farm in Goshen, AR. Just so you don't think I am full of it here is a link to an archived newspaper article.

Right hand side three articles down.
I am glad to say he was acquitted of all charges in Federal court. Then he fought for four years to get all of his property back.
I was dating my future and current wife in college at the time Janet, Jim's daughter. During that time. I received a strange phone call from my aunt in DC who worked for the CIA. I have no idea what she did for the CIA. She only said two words to me, " be careful".
Beginning to understand why I have a huge distrust of the US Federal Government.
But in this case the US Federal government seemed to work. A nasty, law breaking, agent is in jail for excessive force. GOOD. I have had them on my ass for nothing more than dating a suspects daughter. They followed me all the time to the point that I waved to them during the day.
Another thing, notice he was an assistant US attorney. At that time it was proven that DEA agents were given bonuses if they busted important people. I believe the article says 18 people were arrested. In fact it was 22. How many were convicted. AAAAH 1 my father in law. Imagine that.
