How do you have a freakin' crime??? What a dumb law.

How do you have a freakin' crime???

When Sally Harpold bought cold medicine for her family back in March, she never dreamed that four months later she would end up in handcuffs.
Harpold is a grandmother who bought one box of Zyrtec-D cold medicine for her husband. Less than seven days later, she bought a box of Mucinex-D cold medicine for her adult daughter , thereby purchasing 3.6 grams total of pseudoephedrine in a week’s time.

Those two purchases put her in violation of Indiana law 35-48-4-14.7, which restricts the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, or PSE, products to no more than 3.0 grams within any seven-day period.
While the law was written with the intent of stopping people from purchasing large quantities of drugs to make methamphetamine, the law does not say the purchase must be made with the intent to make meth.

“The law does not make this distinction,” Vermillion County Prosecutor Nina Alexander said. (But a reasonable person would make a distiction, prosecutor.Zero tolerance laws are so stupid. Common sense should be factored in.)

So Granny could go to jail because she cares for her family?
