Guess that Bill that Obama signed is in effect (sigh).

$5000 bond is the kicker here, he will get probo/house arrest and some nice fines, possibly some jail time but nothing too bad. At least that's my guess i'm no lawyer.

Whoops...sorry. Forgot the Rules...LOL.

Did edit it ASAP.

thanks!

Obama signed and modified the Homeland securities act which basically gives the government the power to declare just about anyone they suspect, as being a terrorist.

Upon this declaration...they can arrest you and put you in Guantano Bay...for a long time.

I don't think that will happen here.

But When was the last time you Heard of Homeland Security making an AAS bust?

(this is a little this bust BTW...WTF is Homeland doing getting involved in a small bust like 25 bottles?)

please edit your post. You cant link to other boards.

Actually...the real kicker is...he's now a Felon with a record for possession and distribution of a controlled substance.

(bunch of BS in IMO...but that's what it amounts to) i FEEL bad for the guy (sigh)

Syringes are a misdemeanor????

[razorhunter]

Is that true in all 50 states about syringes?
Anyone?

[jimmyinkedup]

no it isnt....
varies from stste to state...
iirc they arent illegal in most states.....

[tcw]

the syringes are a bs charge...a reason for LE to get a warrant to pursue other possible offenses.

but...check your state laws. might be needed.

Syringes are a misdemeanor????
