    I agree. I wasn't excusing the 4 day hold. Just that the comment didn't really make sense since speeding wouldn't have much affect on him. ;)

    Maybe all the bong water is clouding your judgement.

    I'm pretty sure there are probably laws on the books that don't allow for law enforcement to let people rot in a cell without food or water.

    if you told me i had to go 4 days without water or food and then i could win a multi million dollar law suit against the gov't i'm game. Seriously, how do you get caught in a drug raid, you have to be pretty fucking stupid. Now he'll make out pretty well, no sympathy.

    I agree with that, but the penalties must fit the crime. Just because he broke a law doesn't mean all bets are off.

    Most likely.

    Right. I wasn't addressing that part.

    I'm glad my brother-in-law and his friend that were arrested the night of my bachelor party for public intox weren't left to die in their cell. According to a few on here it would've been justified, I guess.

    I agree with this. If he were more than a pot smoker most people wouldn't give a crap.

    Me too. But they still fucked up big time.

    LOL that's pretty funny.

    drunk in public < Smoking drugs and being caught in a drug raid.

    Agreed. however, this four day isolation wasn't his punishment, he wasn't sentenced to this. Someone locked him away and forgot about him. I think too many people are overthinking what really happened here.

    "don't do the crime if you can't do the time"

    So the time for smoking pot is in jail for 4 days with no food or water and being left to die? You guys are retarded if you think that.

    Nope, both offenses can land you in a cell.

    You're right, it wasn't his punishment. It was negligence that was, apparently, okay.

    lol yeah just for pot...
    Agents stormed in at 9 a.m. the next day and swept him up as one of nine suspects in a raid that netted 18,000 ecstasy pills, other drugs and weapons.

    THANK YOU...it's amazing that some people on here actually think that's all this kid was in jail for :rolleyes:

    Some people are saying it was excessive because others are saying don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

    Exactly. It's 100% the DEA's fault this happened. You/rawdawg were trying to argue otherwise. Which is just dumb.

    Felony > Misdemeanor
  • wildcats20
    Where does that say anything about him having ANY of that?

    He wasn't charged with anything. He should have been released right away and he wasn't. Instead they "forgot" about him and let him sit in a cell for 4 days.
  • justincredible
    Criminals still have basic rights, correct? Especially those who haven't been charged with anything. I'm not wrong on this, am I?

    Doesn't matter, both can land you in a cell which you can be forgot about and left for four days.

    LOL he was in a house with 18,000 ecstasy pill and guns....
  • FatHobbit
    The agents didn't charge him criminally and even told him they would drive him home, but apparently forgot about him in a holding cell, where he languished for days.


    Doesn't sound like he was involved with more than pot.
