Creationism/Evolution Title: Cop Violates Elderly Cancer Patient, Accuses Him & His Wife of Being Drug Mules “I don’t honestly know what the stereotype looks like for a heroin smuggler, but I don’t think a couple of senior citizens driving a handicapped license plate car with their little cocker spaniel really looks like we’re much of a threat to anybody,” said Tharp.![]() Walton County, Ga. – What began as a relaxing family vacation for an elderly Georgia couple turned into an interrogation by police who suspected the couple of being drug mules. Charles Tharp, 69, and his wife had been visiting their grandchildren in Texas, during the drive home to North Carolina they were stopped by a Walton County Sheriff’s deputy.
The deputy claimed that the couple had been stopped due to their window tint.
After checking the tint, the officer claimed it was not within the legal limit. The problem with the officer’s assertion is that Tharp had the tint tested at the Toyota dealership and the tint registered perfectly legal. The deputy then proceeded to order the couple out of the car and began interrogating the couple about smuggling narcotics.
According to Tharp, the couple was forced to stand in the cold and endure the police browbeating, over non-existent drugs, for over 20 minutes on the side of the road. This made for an extremely uncomfortable experience for Charles Tharp as he suffers from cancer and chronic back pain. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office said that the deputy has been “counseled” and they are reviewing the incident.
This case provides a great example of exactly where law enforcement fails. As Brooks said, they are trained to “take an extra step.” In this case, that extra step was to pull over a driver that had done nothing wrong only to make contact to try and create more revenue for the state.
Just another example of the police state winning over American hearts and minds.

It takes a fast ticket writer at lest 10 minutes to interview, run a license registration check, write a ticket, issue it and release the driver. An extra 10 minutes for a drug interdiction is pretty reasonable. Pro drug, anti LE drama Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy #2.

Pro drug, anti LE drama Pro-tyranny actions by cops fishing for money instead of protecting and serving. The badged prick needs to be taught some frigging manners about dealing with his betters.

The problem with the officer’s assertion is that Tharp had the tint tested at the Toyota dealership and the tint registered perfectly legal. Oh, the cop lied - typical. Cops who prey on the innocent, especially the elderly are nothing but scum. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.

I don't know what has more drama, your article or your response. lol Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

Which is precisely why a drug trafficker would pay them lots of money to transport them. You think a drug smuggler is going to hire these guys to move his product?
