Awesome thread thus far, great information. I've always felt the same about carrying around tylenol. To a cop in Northern Mexico, advil tylenol could be reason enough to arrest you and I'm sure it has happened. This brings me back to my point though, the country is in shambles with this Drug War and you have lawlessness in many parts of the country and the Mexican government has the nerve to hold this guy for 6 months already and he still hasnt had a trial. Ok, I understand you have to immediately arrest the individual, ok. What I dont understand is the fact that millions of people are not only concealing and carrying but using weapons of high caliber. Let's be honest with ourselves before we defend Mexicos IMMORAL practices of jailing Americans for essentially PETTY crimes, misdemeanors. This case would have been rapped up in about 3 weeks in an American court with a judgement of probation, no jail time. I mean, Jesus Christ, I watch Border Wars on NatGeo and at the end of each segment within the 1 hour show they tell you what the outcome of the arrerst was. Some say charged with but dont say sentence assuming the trial is ongoing, others say probation, SOME SAY RETURNED TO MEXICO NOT PROSECUTED. I mean the fact that we dont prosecute everyone that brings narcotics into the country tells me that OBVIOUSLY even though it is law some discretion is still used by authorities and prosecutors and I guarantee the individual didnt have to wait 6 months for a decision! I understand it is ILLEGAL and that by law they had to AUTO ARREST this guy. I don't think you can argue the fact that Mexico's MORAL COMPASS IS SO F#$KED UP they will never find their way! How would you feel is you got arrested for smoking a joint by an officer smoking a joint?! What a joke, put this on CNN and send in Hillary and this kid is home tomorrow!
