Three out of four of those corners (including the one in which the gummies are a misdemeanor) are also within the Navajo Nation. Kinda feels like that tribal jurisdiction ought to matter.
They do. And for most purposes each reservation is it’s own little defacto nation. They aren’t truly, but definitely in spirit lol.
They don’t necessarily. Historically they didn’t have jurisdiction over non-tribal members. Now there are some detainment powers, but it is not 100% clear still.
Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it’s weird. I think it’s in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.
Ummm that is a sold sort of. It is more clear now, but is history tribal police couldn’t reinforce the law or even detain non tribal members. After a supreme court ruling and a new federal law tribal place have some power over non-tribal members. But not to necessarily to the extent of other local law enforcement.
However, he is crossing 3 state lines in the process, breaking federal law.
running in circles at the 4 corners smoking a spliff so i can get the felony high score
Man my brain is toast.
I was scratching my head wondering which state would ban gummy bears and why no one in the comments seemed curious about that.
Then I realized weed gummies.
His pockets are only in two states each. He may be in physical possession of illegal drugs for that one state, but the drugs themselves may not be there. How would that be ruled?
Technically they’re on his person which is how possession is usually defined.
But possession is 9/10 of the law which means means this is only 9/40 or .225 illegal
That’s the saying, but in reality it’s more like 80%, or 4/5.
This, being in four states at once, that makes it 4/20.
Maybe he was spinning around at the time.
Ah, you beat me to it. But don’t forget the back pockets.
by the judge beating the shit out of you
Battle judges
this behavior is shown in the 2012 documentary judge dredd
Love me some Four Corners mischief. There is usually a food truck there serving Native American frybread - delicious!!!
Do they sell “Indian tacos?” I had that when I was working at a local TV station shooting news footage of a regional powwow and it was awesome. Taco ingredients on the frybread you’re talking about.
I’m not meaning to be culturally insensitive. They called them Indian tacos, not me.
Yes, American Indians prefer to be called Indians, not native Americans. You’re not being insensitive.
In my experience, there seems to be a lot of disagreement on that point, but it is not my ethnicity, so I don’t feel like I’m right to speak on any of their behalves.
I miss fry bread sooo much. I always try to tell people it’s like funnel cake but simpler. I haven’t had it since I’ve been to Havasupai.
Go to Tocabe if you’re ever in Denver
I think of the Simpson’s episode with sideshow Bob and the 5 corners. I shoot you from here, the bullet passes through there, you die in x and fall into …
Edit: if to of
Just saw that yesterday and so I did too. (think of it that is)
D’oh!
Yes, i always document my crimes.
Habeus Corpus. Any judge would laugh a prosecutor out of the court if this was the only evidence.
Then they would probably be fired.
“Those where theoretical gummies to proof a point”
Thats why they are “in his pocket” and now openly On display.
Could also argue my left leg and pocket didnt cross the border, only my right did.
I would not have posted this. The long dick of the law makes an echidna’s look normal.
Err… I meant DUMMIES! These damn dummies in my pocket …
I think it would be pretty much impossible to prove he had gummies in his pocket at the time. I also don’t know that Stephan Pastis is the right person to make an example of.
It’s either more or less than 25%, depending on whether he has the gummies in his left, right or back pocket.
