Infamous PS3 Hacker, Geohot, Arrested (For Marijuana)

[Richard Allen]

Geohot? More like GeoHotBox am I right?

I C WHAT U DID THERE!

 

[razer17]

The American legal system is ridiculous. I can easily see that even if you have a licence, you shouldn't take weed across national borders. But to be able to arrest people between state lines just seems silly to me.

 

[Something Amyss]

I don't particularly like this guy, but c'mon. After all the shit this guy goes through, he gets busted for smoking them tweeds?

That sucks. For once, I'm on his side.

Yeah, after not getting busted for stuff that has been determined legal and likely would have been upheld in courts, he got busted for something considered illegal where he was. WHAT A SHOCKING TWIST!

...I'm sorry, what? Dude didn't get nailed on things that he should have been able to argue before a judge, and got busted for taking an illegal substance into another state. Even if you support legalised marijuana (and I do), that was FREAKING STUPID of him.

LOL!

Can't say that I'm totally surprised by this, and of all the things he could've gotten nailed for, it was the sweet leaf.

I wonder if he owns a map because he seriously should've known better since he was clearly not in California anymore.

Most white kids don't expect their cars to be searched, especially not by dogs I've driven through states with more then that, with no worries. He was quite possibly in one of the worst areas in the country for this to happen in =/

So has my friend, and when I told him this story he laughed hysterically.

Yeah, he really was not in a place where he should be carrying that. Since I don't smoke and not a big fan of him I find all this rather amusing.

It's all fun and games until you get arrested for a DUI cause you have a closed container in your back seat... stupid laws like this can screw anyone over, not just potheads, remember that =P

 

[Fudj]

The man famous for his crack just became a felon for his pot.

That's putting it rather bluntly don't you think?

You think so? I thought it was rather doobieous.

This chain is rather spliffy? I know it was terrible but you guys are awesome.

I'm glad we could all come together for some joint observations on this matter.

Seems to me the police in texas made a bit of a HASH of this, especially when it comes to weighing the whole bar and putting a street value on it, man if dealer did pot choclate that would be the munchies sorted out

That's what you get for accepting a job at Facebook.

Integrity is an alien concept these days.

I don't know what that has to do with what I said, but all I'm saying in regards to him, he should've known better. And I find it funny that he got busted, of all things he could've gotten arrested for, for carrying pot in a state that hasn't legalized it.

 

[Richard Allen]

. Now, after all of that, he may become a felon for storing a legally-obtained chocolate ball made with $15 worth of weed in his glove box. Go figure.

How convenient that you seem to be forgetting about the other 1/4 oz of pot that he was caught with. Plus you have to consider that they use the street value of the drugs taken and not the amount that medical clinics charge for it.

Because the difference between $15 dollars and maybe $150 (if prices are high in your area) is huge.... it just happens that he got caught in a crappy state. In Ny this wouldn't even be a misdemeanor, it would be a civil citation and fine of about $100.

Congratulations for completely missing the point of what I was saying.

Well congrats on not demonstrating your point clearly and still not clarifying. A 1/4 ounce of pot is worth maybe $120 in a high priced area so like I said, your talking a negligible difference in value. He is complaining because they are weighing the chocolate as if it should be included in determining how illegal this is... It's like weighing a truck filled with cocaine to determine the street value. "Oh you mean I have $100 billion dollars in weight on this one truck?"

He wasn't between state lines. He was in Texas he has a permit for medical marijuana in California. There are 2 states between those so its quite a distance to be taking it anyway

Okay, so he crossed a couple of state lines. My point was that having seperate laws for different states seems stupid.

Dear God...

Spoiler: blown

But seriously, of all the things he gets busted for...

It wasn't clear, I know a friend who was busted for DUI because he had a closed but not sealed container in his back seat. He blew a 0.0 in the prison but was still arrested for DUI which would not have been an issue with his local laws.

Tl;DR IT sucks that local laws are so vastly different at times, one thing that is a very minor offense can be a huge deal in the town nextdoor.

I know that, and also that bit because it's the same law that's over here and it's just something that you get used to. It's not completely fair, but it's better to assume that other states have strict laws towards DUI than loose ones when visiting.

 

[doublenix]

Silly. He should have got the local hookup. Bad move bro.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Beat a big as corporation with boatloads of cash and lawyers in court. Get 5+ years in jail due to possession of an illegal substance cause some backwater sheriff busted your ass.

Think karma came around and said you're lucks been running to good lately, lol.
