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.
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.
Man my brain is toast.
Do… erm… gummies have anything to do with it?
Nah man, Utah made gummy vitamins a misdemeanor to ensure kids wouldn’t get tricked into enjoying them. /S
What happens if you get an abortion on that spot?
In his order, abortion is: Homicide after 15 weeks and before a 24-hour waiting period, Legal at your convenience, Legal at your convenience but only if the mother is in danger, Homicide after 18 weeks and before a 72-hour waiting period.
The only way to perform an abortion on that spot that is 100% legal is if it is done before 15 weeks, after waiting 72 hours, and the mother’s life is in danger.
This guy aborts
Waiting 72 hours? Sounds like you just waited 15 weeks. Let me flush this gummy!
Thermonuclear annihilation
Clouds will form over the spot as a warm wind blows in from the southeast. Flecks of rain will fall and a slow rumble will build from below as the ground shakes and a hole appears from the fallen ground. A representative of each will be sent: a sheriff, an artist, a socially conscious libertarian, and a racist.
They will each give you one gift and then the sheriff arrests you and takes you to be judged by the racists. The others watch on in quiet disapproval, to the abortion or the arrest it isn’t clear. The racist then says “As foretold, the skies open and you’re on trial in another state.”
A lot of slack-jawed tourists. Probably some dehydration as well.
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
Maybe he was spinning around at the time.
Spin Up or Spin Down?
Schrödinger’s weed
Ah, you beat me to it. But don’t forget the back pockets.
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.
We’re calling them freedom tacos now you god damn xenophobe.
A high quality chalupa.
I never thought of it that way, but yeah. Except you eat it flat with a knife and fork.
High quality gringo tostada?
Holy shit I haven’t thought about frybread in like, a decade and now you made me think about it. How dare you.
Luckily it is not too hard to make my friend! Whip yourself up a batch tonight.
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.
Yes, i always document my crimes.
Better watch out for the long arm of 1/4 of the law.
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!
I would not have posted this. The long dick of the law makes an echidna’s look normal.
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.
he also didn’t specify what kind of gummies
They could have been caffeine gummies and he was talking about them being illegal in the eyes of the LDS church in Utah.
Err… I meant DUMMIES! These damn dummies in my pocket …
It’s either more or less than 25%, depending on whether he has the gummies in his left, right or back pocket.
