Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.

they are there to intimidate and harass residents in a blue city. So much for GOP claiming to be against big government tyranny.

Wait until they find out it's been completely legal to grow and smoke weed on private property for the last 10 years. They'll probably arrest people for that anyway.
