The mix-up "sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980’s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution,” Biden’s attorney wrote.
Federal prosecutors mistakenly claimed in a court filing that a photo of sawdust they found while searching Hunter Biden’s electronics was cocaine, attorneys for the president’s son said Tuesday.
The sawdust picture was used in a court filing detailing incriminating information that prosecutors said they turned up while executing a search warrant of Biden’s laptop and electronics, but his legal team said in court papers that the picture was sent to their client by his then-psychiatrist as inspiration.
The picture shows three lines of yellow dust on a piece of wood near some other dust. The psychiatrist sent the picture to Biden in 2018, saying it was "lines of sawdust sent to me by a master carpenter who was a coke addict.”
Biden’s attorneys said the message and picture were “meant to convey that Mr. Biden, too, could overcome any addiction” and used the apparent mix-up to mock prosecutors.
It could be tainted, I suppose
In all my partying I’ve never once snorted brown coke.

I’ve never done coke. Or even weed (never been interested.)
Even I would know that’s not gonna be a fun time. If I saw someone doing that, I’d be assuming their somewhere near rock-bottom and falling fast.
Better send the SWAT to everyone who has any picture of any dusty substance. After all it might just be tainted cocaine!
one of my earliest clients working contract security, ran a paid parking lot. this was ages ago, i was the onsite guard for it, one of my things was walking the lots making sure everyone was paid.
There was this idiot in a Jag. parked. started walking off to the strip club next door. I see him walk by me and I warn him. he gets Entitled-Rich-Dude (with a side of Horny-College-Kid. ProTip. Minivans are better for sex in the car. more room. better seating… better suspension.) he stalks off without paying so I slap a stupid “you owe us” ticket- its not even a city ticket… and we’re not going to send it to collection (the lawyers fee costs more than it’s worth.)
Anyhow, he had this proximity alarm thing that sounds off if you get too close. “warning this car has a proximity alarm! it will sound in…”… well, I ignore it, slap the ticket on and go about my job. Turns out the ticket on the windshield is enough to set off the proximity alarm. It was sounding for a couple hours.
his battery drains because the alarm is constantly going off. When he comes out, the thing won’t start. he sees the ticket and calls the cops.
Says I vandalized my his Jag. I see the cops doing their bored questioning thing, so I walk out and basically make sure they see me. One comes over to ask what’s up. So I explained all that. “all i did was put the ticket on. His proximity alarm must have tripped.” “Proximity Alarm?” the cop asks. “yeah. You know those things from the 90’s that are like 'step away from the vehicle…” “So… those are illegal.” (because noise nuisance.) He looked rather happy at that. And up the hill, you could hear this guy making demands of the partner to arrest me. the cop is trying to be “nice” because Entitled Rich Fucks are annoying. The cops basically told him to call for a jump, but ERG “knows PeOpLe”
Any how, after a moment, I say to the cop that had been talking with me, who absolutely doesn’t want to bail his partner out “So, I couldn’t help but notice, there’s a baggie sack covered in suspicious white powder on front passenger seat.”
My cop walks up and looks in the window. They ask him to open the car. (“There’s a baggie with a suspicious white powder. We have probable cause…”)
So the other cop sees this, raises an eyebrow. when he figures out what’s going on… the guy gets a rather evil gleam in his eye.
They start that process over hostess powdered donuts. just to piss the rich fuck off. Ended up citing him for the proximity alarm and left it at that, but not before they searched his car.
(who the fuck drives a jag and then has powdered sugar donuts in it? Ew. that shit gets everywhere.)
Hmm…
ACAB but so are rich entitled fucks.
Not sure who to root for here.
Then you root for injuries, like when the Commanders play the Cowboys.
I wouldn’t say ACAB, mostly because I haven’t met every cop. And rookies probably aren’t all bad- they’ll adapt or quit before long, mind.
But, even assholes sometimes do the right thing. Like saving that single mom’s kid. Huge ego boost. Doesn’t meant they’re not still assholes, though,
I would argue that you don’t have to meet every cop because any cop that isn’t a bastard is driven out by all the bastard cops. Especially if they report anything inappropriate their fellow officers do.
And staying silent while other cops break the law also makes you a bastard.
Not the Cops trying to falsify evidence because they can’t be bothered to stand up to an asshole with connections.
It didn’t sound like they were falsifying anything. It sounded like the person in OP’s story just had a bag of coke in their car.
Oh there was clear understanding that they were definitely hostess donuts of the powdered sugar variety.
It was a joke on my part and not a serious report. The cops ran with it, because these cops definitely were bastards, and because the idiot Jag owner went full on Karen over something that was ultimately his own fault. (If he had a legal alarm system, if he paid for parking, or he had a shred of self awareness and just called for a jump…)
Cops pull that kind of shit all the fucking time and get away with it because their victims don’t have the resources or contacts to get away with reporting them.
