Casto Contests Marijuana Charge

Item: Casto contesting marijuana charge/Vince Grippi, SR

TDub: Is it customary in Pullman for police officers to have so much time on their hands to be peering into windows of private citizens without due cause? Where I live, when people do that, I believe it is called a peeping Tom occurrence. Say what you will about the stupidity of leaving yourself open to getting trouble for your behavior, it would appear to me that the Pullman police appear to derive a great deal of pleasure in targeting, and in this case, stalking students for indescretions by peering through windows. Last I heard of this sort of “enforcement” technique, I believe it was East Berlin in the 60s.

Question: Are Pullman police targetting Washington State players, as TDub contends, are are Cougar basketballers flaunting the law when they should be concentrating on important games?
