Forgive me if this is a re-post.
No wonder that Burger King on TV is so psychotic...
Although no doubt some planeteers will REQUEST this on their next Whopper...

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.

The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.

The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.

"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper,"' the officers' attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday.

"The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."

Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.

Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.

Like previously stated, why would someone waste their weed to put on people's burgers? Why would these characters even have weed on them at work, leave that shit in the car dumbass. And also like previously stated, those piggies had a drug test coming up, and knew they were going to fail and didnt want to cough up the dough for a Whizzinator.

Why do these lawyers get in these situations and make stupid "clever" comments like this? Did you stay up all night thinking of that one Sam?

I don't think they really need a good reason to charge them with anything.

everything you do is like 5 crimes

a DUI is also: wreckless endangerment, attempted manslaughter, etc, etc, etc

Seeing how close they live to Mexico, I would imagine cheap weed isn't that hard to come by. As to the comment about why they would have it at work, a walk in deep freeze isn't too bad of a spot to take a smoke break.

sedated, my sarcasm meter may be broken, but is there such a thing as attempted manslaughter? I always thought manslaughter was an accident or gross negligence. Can you attempt an accident or gross negligence?

You probably can, our laws are messed up, just asking.

I read that and my first thought was, "I know who graduated last in that law class." It wasn't even close to clever.
