This shits fuckin unreal.

CHICAGO - Illinois State Police busted two men from California allegedly trafficking more than 5,000 pounds of cannabis Wednesday.

Robert Mazo, 29, and Pedro Arreola, 33, both from Lancaster, California were arrested during a traffic stop at 5:30 p.m. on I-80 eastbound near milepost 13 in Henry County.

The men were in a 2000 Provost Bus. ISP was called to assist with the stop and a canine officer alerted to possible narcotics.

Police searched the bus and seized 5,231 pounds of illegal cannabis. ISP says this seizure is one of the largest in the agency's history and has an estimated value of between $6.3 million and $14.7 million.

The men were released from Henry County Jail on pretrial conditions following a hearing Thursday.

It's really pretty fucked here in Illinois because of the SAFE-T act you can basically get arrested for anything and you don't have to post bail they just release you which is pissing off alot of people especially cops because whats the point of arresting anybody if they're just gonna get out in the next day or 2 anyways.
