It must be rough to have to watch other people have a discussion that you don't approve of.

I read and sometimes post in the Politics forum. I am immune to 'rough.'

What is it about this thread that has you so riled up? Are you afraid of getting pwned in a debate?
Are you scared?

We've had perfectly legal games here in Hawaii raided. The cases are always thrown out before they make it to court date, but it doesn't stop the police from keeping on trying. I've actually had a vice cop call me about a tournament I was running that the DA and two ADA were playing in and threatened to bust it if I didn't cancel. I told him he was welcome to come on by and embarras himself.

Of YOU?

I won't bother you, or anyone else itt from now on, but do me a favor, please? For God's sake stop using legal terminology that you don't know the meaning of. 'Subject matter jurisdiction' in an illegal poker game raid, jfc.

I' ve already proven that without subject matter jurisdiction, aka 'standing', aka 'corpus dilecti', there is no crime. Meaning specifically that playing in a poker game is not crime.
Here is the link providing relevant case law from every state Supreme Court:

Do you believe that your opinion of the law is more accurate and relevant than the collective opinions of State Supreme Court judges?

The fact that the police chief was present just shows how busto that department is

nascent, it probably doesn't look very good when a regular does not show up the first time the cops do.

what i got out of the thread:

1.OP doesnt wants to abide by the law, because the law makes no sense.
2.Law does makes sense, but affects the casual poker player in some ways.
3.Popo wanted to get either easy money/easy catch/etc and busted the game.
4.Makes no sense to chase the money back obv.

Any way you can involve an upper level in this case (not even from the us, so i have no idea)? probably wouldnt help much since it would side with the police, but if the department was actually busto and you can prove they went after the money you should be able to make a case?

Grunching. Damn dude that's wack.

It was a robbery. Police chief showing up to bust a local 1-2 game?

Emptying wallets?

"arresting" someone for intimidating a witness when he doesn't give up the money from his wallet? Just think about that for longer than 2 seconds and let me know if it makes sense to you

My bet is, dude who got "arrested" is in on it

No rake no problem. Tax man gonna get his taxes no matter what. Rule #1 in life: you can't beat the tax man. Hell, even the Capone got away with murder, theft, bribery, and all sorts of crimes. But in the end he got caught for tax evasion.
