TORONTO — One current and one former Canadian police officer have been charged in a scheme to smuggle US$203,000 (CA$200,000) worth of cheese and other foods into Canada, police said Friday.

For them who ain't local to Michigan - we and the Canadians are pretty unrepentant smugglers, I mean you throw a rock around here on Friday night it'll hit three smugglers before it reaches the ground...

Prescriptions, weed, tobacco, clear sodas, chocolate, auto parts (don't ask), but seriously, CHEESE ?
Epic weirdness.
Hmmm, I wonder if the Aporkalypse might increase the profit margins on Bacon though....

MMmmmm, Black market bacon and cheddar, crime was never so tasty!

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I presume it was unpasteurized cheese aged less than three months. That's not legal cheese in the US, even though it's pretty safe after fermenting for a few days. Shame, because I'd like to try such cheese someday, it's supposed to be creamy and mild.

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

I've no idea, they didn't specify - although on that note the Jury in a recent Raw Milk case got kinda pissed off with being kept in the dark, handed distorted, cherry-picked "facts" and considered the interpretation and application of law to be offensive and ridiculous...

I'd have loved to see the look on the face of that cretinous prosecutor when they threw the case out on its ear.
