Unfortunately, police say that a mother in Georgia recently started a police pursuit after she fled when an officer attempted to pull her over. She is now suspected of drug crimes, among other accusations.

When it comes to issues of possession of legal pharmaceuticals, an arrest is often a symptom of a much larger problem.

This issue is at the heart of a federal lawsuit recently filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against one Georgia county and one of its officers.
