How can you be assumed innocent when you’re caught with the goods?
Some lawyer will say since they are mexican and english wasn’t their native language they didn’t understand ‘giving consent to search’
Guaranteed this will go nowhere despite great work by observant police officers trying to do their job
The ‘revolving door’ will allow them to do it again, just like all the car thieves here
NJ is Blue and a sanctuary state. A classic NJ jury will find them not guilty, because after all, these guys are only trying to feed their kids.
If it’s drugs they’re looking for, maybe they should check some of your kids’ rooms and your wives’ medicine cabinets.
Someone was smoking marijuana the other day in the bathroom, we’ve heard they have a medical card.
But But But The Border Is Secure….
Right through our open borders.
Let’s change that in November!!
Unfortunately addictions to Hope-ium are not constrained by any border.
