This informant, paid by police, using taxpayer dollars to continue his felony drug habit...

Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

Lawyer Rodman: [6:14] This informant, paid by police, using taxpayer dollars to continue his felony drug habit was the link that allowed police to raid a private farm. A working farm where honest Americans make their living. Now, the government in its haste has hired an army of criminals whose alligiance to the truth is at best questionable. Robert Wakefield: Mr. Rodman, it's a shame that your client didn't use as much sense in choosing what he planted as he did in choosing his attorney. But lately the only variation I'm hearing in your argument is the name of your client. Now, you can stand here all day and argue the ins and outs of Illinois v. Gates, but you're not gonna convince me that our government has not sanctioned the use of anonymous informants. Furthermore there is no sacred protection of property rights in our country. You grow marijuana on your farm, be it an ounce or an acre of plants, that farm can be seized, and that farm can be sold.

This informant, paid by police, using taxpayers' dollars... to continue his felony drug habit, was the link... that allowed the police to raid a private farm, a working farm where honest Americans make their living. The government, in its haste, has hired an army of criminals... whose allegiance to the truth is at best questionable. Mr. Rodman... it's a shame that your client didn't use as much sense... in choosing what he planted... as he did in choosing his attorney, but, lately, the only variation... I'm hearing in your argument is the name of your client. You can stand here all day and argue the ins and outs of Illinois v. Gates, but you're not gonna convince me... that our government has not sanctioned the use of anonymous informants. Furthermore, there is no sacred protection... of property rights in our country. You grow marijuana on your farm, be it an ounce or an acre, that farm can be seized... and that farm can be sold. What the hell is that? You can tell a lot about somebody from this stuff. It's from your friends at Warren, Putnam and Hudson. A fishing rod. What do you think they want? - Depends what state they're from. Uh... Arizona. Arizona. Medicinal marijuana initiative. Or am I being cynical? Mark... I'm gonna miss you. Thank you for all your hard work. Hi. How are you today? You've got a daughter. Why is it important to get... a handle on this drug problem? Because it's an issue that affects all families. But I'm planning on being back here as much as I can. How do you feel about-- Okay, Gordon, no telltales: no scratching your nose, no clearing your throat, no crossing your legs. I got it. - You got it, babe. I'm cool, man. You just don't tell any jokes. ' Don't tell any jokes'? - Don't tell jokes. It's a giveaway, Ray. It's not a giveaway. - Every time you tell a joke, it's a giveaway. Don't tell any jokes. - You know what the problem is? You are too uptight, man. Why don't you loosen up, take a deep breath? Breathe in slowly. A little stretching maybe. Come on, man. They're looking at us. - Come on, man. We're gonna get these motherfuckers. We know our shit. Can I get it? Can I get it? Oh, baby, can I say it? - Say it. It's show time.
