I have no idea why they didn't get a charge for the weed. Could likely be to the fact it wasn't in plain view or something. However, if the "stuff" he shouldn't have had was a class A narcotic and he was sitting in Clark County (which of course he was), he's going to go away for a very long time unless he's got some serious cash behind him.

Edit: Someone already said that. NM.

Yeah def dumb on both parts. It wasn't H. He has decent amounts of cash and he actually does have one of the best defense attorneys in Vegas. I'll try and find out if he talked to his lawyer today. His arraignment isnt till June I think.

Nothing was in plain view at any time.

Not a guarantee that he is gonna go away for a very long time. First time he has been busted and he has no record so that might help him.

Have your friend stage a sit-in in protest to the man trying to keep him down.


What am I doing in this thread, this is not my forum. OK OK I GTFO now.

LOL at "he is going away for a long time"......assuming he had less than an ounce of product, with no priors the worst he will get is probation with drug court........

He had a LOT more then 1 oz. He does not have any priors though.

Enjoyed the "flea bomb" comment. Would read again.

i know you were just trying to make an extra few hundred bucks by slanging the hotel room but in the future you really need to think about this ****. did you honestly have no idea this dude was walkin around with a LOT more than a OZ in a hotel under YOUR name? dont answer that question. im just saying be smarter next time.

1. Weed shouldnt even be illegal (Refer Madness is hillarious tho)

2. Dont speak about things of which you know nothing, you are no longer to talk about subjects as such untill you come out of your box sir. GG.

GL to your friend OP, delivery charges are no fun.

is the reason he has decent amounts of cash because he often has way more than an oz on him?

Arguing law on the Internet is different from arguing politics because most people will end up experiencing the law first-hand while most people will not experience politics first-hand.

If people want to take inaccurate political views parroted from heavily-biased sites, there's no real consequence that happens because of it. If people want to take inaccurate legal advice parroted from heavily-biased sites, they will find out soon enough.

I think you're right, but honestly, who cares?

lol

I'm no lawyer, but seems to me that OP stands a fair chance of being called to the stand if his friend ever goes to trial for a felony drug trafficking charge.

Anyhow, I had no idea it was legal for hotel staff to detain people at will or to search their property. That's pretty screwed up. Do the hotels have absolute discretion in this regard? I thought all they could do was to call the cops.

And if it turns out the hotel overstepped their bounds thus causing the guy to face criminal charges, I wonder if OP's friend could file a civil suit against the to recover legal expenses plus intangible damages.

LMAO...a lawsuit against the hotel for legal fees?....assuming the Hotel violated the defendant's rights, do you really think a jury would award money to someone sitting in a room in possession of large amounts of narcotics?

This thread needs a warning label.

Coming anywhere near this thread may cause an IQ drop between 12-20 pts. It can also cause delusions that make you believe that you know enough about Nevada law or Constitutional law to be able to write something coherent on the subject.

Is it also making you hungry?

I hear ya, I didn't even charge him for the room, he's a good friend of mine, apparently he's just really stupid even though I blame the sloot that was with him for calling the bellman.

First offenders don't usually go to trial here, usually its resolved with a plea bargain. When I find out i'll let eveybody know. Don't think he will be eager to sue a huge company like LVSands once it's resolved.

......that's putting it mildly ...LOL

there are laws that allow private establishments to detain people they suspect of committing some sort of crime... the same laws allow stores to detain shoplifters. theyre actually posted at a lot of casino cashier windows (i guess to discourage fraud?)

As for civil liability, its unlikely unless hes somehow acquitted in his criminal case. Imagine the precedent it would set if someone could be held civilly liable for aiding in the arrest and conviction of a criminal.

"Hey man, I got a really great idea. Like uuuhhhh, let's call up that bellguy and when he shows up then we tell him we don't need him and stuff."

"Dude? What's up with that? You need him or not? Listen what you're saying? <cough> <cough> Pass that over here"

"No man, listen get this, when he gets here we tell him go away, then we call him back again. How many times do you think he'll come? I'm thinking we could do this ALL NIGHT LONG hahahhha"

"Oh sh**t man your a f***in super-genius that's so cool how do always think up this great sh*t, yeah definitely do it, yes let's do it do it do it I'll call first what's the number?"

"Man I'm sure its on one of these hotel papers in here or maybe this book or something God I wish I could read this crap lots of big words in here, I think they just want to sell me more stuff. How do hotels expect you to read through all this junk anyways?"

"No no no man don't worry about that just paper sh**t just call the operator they have to get him for you, it's like their job to like deliver anything you want I saw it in a movie no sh**t. It's number 0 they'll send him right up."

"OK hahahhaha they have to do it, it's like a hotel law or something pass me that phone <cough> <cough> my god I love this city."

"Yeah dude, yeah what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas hahhahhaha here, you go grab the phone hahhahhaa"

"F**k you pothead you're dropping the phone pick it up and hand it to me dude hah hah we got to get this rolling!!!"

"Yes here you go Oh man this is gonna be great!!!"

"Operator? Can we get that guy who does the bags to come up here, the bag guy, right, no I don't know the room number how about we just turn up the radio real loud so he'll know it's us OK right 10 minutes. Thank you"

"Hahahha OMG they're gonna do it they're really gonna send him up dude this is great, then we do it again hahhah, get your camera phone ready and pass that thing over here..."

Frommagio did you really just take 10 mins out of your day to think that up and type it out? You sir are an awesome comedian! That was so funny and witty! I mean you are abso****inglutely the funniest person I have ever encountered! Now GTFO and get a life douchebag. Go troll somewhere else.

Sorry King but your friend is about as dumb as they get.

Hey King - After reading the first post, I found myself chuckling as I envisioned how the story might have played out. This is what popped into my mind.

Truth be told, it's probably not any sillier than the real story. Only your friend would have been in a position to know for sure, and he probably can't remember. Too bad they can't watch themselves on film the next day.
