Their purpose was to find and locate drugs. Drugs on gaming systems is irrelevant. Drugs on games are found everywhere, yet they seemed to think it is necessary to ensure that the wii game does not have illicit substances... Sure, the police officers made a mistake by playing the game, but let their commanding officer deal with them. It takes a certain kind of person to perform a drug raid -- no matter what the substance they assume was present, the risk of death is always present around any illicit drug dealings. But luckily this time no harm was cause accept to the representation of the many honorable men and women on the job. Let's hope they found what they needed and it holds up in the court of law. We've had enough botched court cases due to police error over the past fifteen years, I wonder if we will find these pot heads on the golf course looking for someone; not for a murder this time but their next dealer.
