          The Houston Police Department 28-floor headquarters building 

 

 Houston, we have a problem.

The narcotics evidence room on the 25th floor of police headquarters holds among other drugs, according to Mayor Whitmire, 400,000 pounds of marijuana, and rats are getting fat and high eating it.

The rats are also getting into other narcotics thereby possibly compromising some active cases. 

A rat is seen breaking into a bag of narcotics in the Houston Police evidence room.

 

 

Some of the evidence dates back to 1984 ... yes that's right, 1984. That's absolutely ridiculous.

 

As far as the marijuana is concerned, the Houston cops have been using outdated evidence techniques. Instead of storing large amounts of weed, all the cops need to do at the seizure scene is take some samples and photograph them along with a photo of the total seizure. After the photos have been taken, the samples and photos are kept and the rest of the marijuana can be burned and destroyed. Then an officer can testify in court where the jury will be shown the samples and photographs. 

 

As things stand now, the rats are getting fat and high on the 25th floor of Houston's police headquarters ... and shitting all over the place. 

 

And at the trial. DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Officer, you said you seized 30 pounds of marijuana, but there's only 20 pounds here. OFFICER: The rats must have have ate the other 10 pounds. JUDGE, JURY, DEFENDANT, BAILIFFS, STENOGRAPHER and SPECTATORS: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
