Does that theory actually hold water in typical situations? That a trial court decision does not set any precedent for other cases?

Or in other words... was that theory challenged?

I guess I see Albuquerque sheriffs described as being "rogue" or "outlaws" that choose which laws they defend. And things like ignoring precedents as evidence of that.

Is that actually going on here or do they actually have a leg to stand on in their arguments?

Yes. There is a case out of Georgia where a kid was caught selling a gram of weed from the front porch of his parents house. Parent's house was seized under civil asset forfeiture laws and sold and all of the proceeds pocketed by the sheriffs department.

Edit: The host replied lower to a different question and mentioned the same case. I was wrong, case is out of Philly.

I always see this point about lost tax revenue... how do illegals cause tax revenue to be lost? Most of them are paid minimum wage and they also pay state and federal income taxes in addition to any local sales taxes.

Go read Dr. Rick Strassman. If I remember right I thought I had read something that during even a high dosage intense DMT trip, your heatrate is only slightly elevated but that blood pressure and rythym stayed relatively stable.

Is the road east down into Saline Valley passable (I do have a high clearance 4x4) ? Keep wanting to go back there again. Either way, I too will be hitting your DM (if thats ok...) when I come out that way again.
