Long Beach Police regularly raid medical marijuana dispensaries and take medication, money, and destroy equipment. Several collectives have filed suit against Long Beach for using excessive force, warrantless searches, and deceptive warrants to engage in behavior that violates the Constitution (Fourth Amendment). These illegal searches and seizures are ongoing and constitute a pattern of illegal conduct by Long Beach and its police officers. The actions of the police need to be stopped before someone is hurt or killed. In 2010, officers, through excessive and unreasonable force, without care or concern for human life, killed 35-year-old Doug Zerby. There have been numerous incidents of bad behavior. Advocates claim Long Beach officials take bribes and have retaliated because their bribe taking system was struck-down by a California Appeals Court.
