POT ACTIVST WANTS PC'S BACK

ALBANY- An embattled marijuana activist has gone to court to try to
get back computers police took during a drug raid two weeks ago,
seizures his lawyer said violates privacy rights and constitutional
freedoms of speech and association. Bill Conde, 55, was charged with a
felony count of marijuana possession when Linn County sheriffs
deputies found slightly more than an ounce of marijuana at his
property near Harrisburg on Sept. 15th. Searching for drug records,
authorities took computers that Conde said he uses to run his redwood
lumber business, as well as to store political action committee
information.
