Roit or Wrung?

[sinkoman]

You're walking around a sleepy suburb with your best friend. Over the years, the two of you have known that he has a severe and chronic mental condition, where, at random, the pain receptors in his boddy will go bat**** insane untill they litterally die. Nothing legally prescribed to him has helped, at ALL.

So, you two are walking, when he starts explaining to you that opium seems to help the condition, morphine significantly shortens the breakouts/spasms, and heroin can alltogether terminate an outbreak.

Suddenly, he falls on his knees, screaming in agony. He falls to the ground, clutching his thumping skull, with his legs flailing back and forth, his body making a sort of bicycle wheel motion on the pavement.

Between breaths, he explains to you that it's another outbreak, and that he needs heroin, STAT! Lucky for you, you know of a drug dealer in the area that just got a fresh batch of persian heroin.

You run to the dealers house, buy an entire kilo, and run back to your friend with a vacuum bag of fresh, undadulterated heroin. Your friend is in the same state as you left him, only his ears are spouting blood. You pin your friend to the ground, straddle his chest, and slowly being pouring the heroin into his nose.

Your friend stops shaking, and slowly regains equilibrium. Just as he's able to stand up again, the 3 cop cars and an ambulance show up. They haul your friend into the ambulance, and the cops begin questioning you.

You explain the situation to them, tell them they can have the heroin, and that you'll even turn the dealer in if they want.

Now, HL2.net, do you think the cops could arrest you now, if they wanted to?

 

[Danimal]

They probably could, but it would suck if they did.

 

[Griz]

I say could, but wouldn't as long as you give up the dealer....

 

[bvasgm]

Of course they could arrest you. Heroin's illegal, so, if you have it, legally, they can arrest you.

They'd definitely arrest you, when they arrived you were holding almost an entire kilo of heroin. The real question is weather or not you would be convicted of anything, a good lawyer could probably get you acquitted.

 

[Terminator]

Any good cop would be more interested in the safety of your mate than the heroin, especially if he's just had blood coming out of his ears.

They would be interested in why you bought and entire kilogram however......

 

[Tyguy]

Medicinal Heroin eh? What if he just had a bad cold and heroin stopped his nose from running?

 

[Cormeh]

I'm more interested in the fact you carry enough cash to buy an entire kilo of heroin. D:

Heroin CANNOT BE PRESCRIBED AS A MEDICAL DRUG cause its like Class 3 or something.. Under US laws, anyway.

 

[Jintor]

Obviously Numbers knows American Laws in case he has to evacuate to America when some sort of serious disaster occurs...

 

[15357]

Hell no! I shall never leave my beloved country! Unless I'm on vacation....




I read everything.

 

[Que-Ever]

Well, he knows all the ones about drugs...

 

[15357]

I have different periods, when I'm fascinated by something.


Rare diesases, criminal laws, guns, knife throwing, ect; I read all.

 

[Danimal]

What a sneaky edit, Numbers. I was going to ask what the ****ing **** you were on about before. :|

 

[JellyWorld]

A kilo of heroin would get you the death penalty here.

 

[tehsolace]

They could, and should. They have very basic rules and its not their job to determine the law in those situations. They know that heroin is illegal and if you're in possession of it, then you must be arrested.

 

[CyberPitz]

They could, and Will. Reasons being without any doctors saying that it truely DOES help, and nothing to prove it, he could be another ****ing addict that would do anything FOR heroin. So he needs to go to doctor, tell them, have them give him a Rx for it, and have a merry day.

 

[JNightshade]

They definitely would.

 

[The Monkey]

They would arrest you, but you would probably get away with it in a court.

 

[Solaris]

You ring an ambulance, don't try and play doctor.

 

[CptStern]

medicinal heroine is never self-adminstered nor is it prescribed outside of a hospital in most jurisdictions ..same applies to morphine ..jeez I thought that that was pretty obvious

oh and the cops would arrest you and let the courts sort it out

and yes I would help my friend although there's only so far I'd go in committing a crime to help someone

 

[kirovman]

Funny thing, exactly the same thing happened to me, the cop said "Huh, likely story... you're going down for a long time, son"

So I pulled out my Machette and sliced him into pieces.

OK Jason Vorhees.

????

 

[Man|-|unter]

sure they will.

 

[Azner]

A kilo of heroin would get you the death penalty here.

aint it sad the US has no Death Penalty

 

[Darkwolf]

They could and would arrest you. Simply because in most countries they have to as part of their 'duty'.

The question is whether or not they charge you for it...

 

[Sulkdodds]

aint it sad the US has no Death Penalty

Er...the death penalty exists in the US.

Anyway, yes, they could, and yes, they would - the courts would sort it out.

The REAL question is: how hypothetical is your question?

 

[Bad^Hat]

The real question should be - would you rather go in for posession or deal with the repurcussions of turning in the dealer if he succesfully evaded arrest? :O

 

[Absinthe]

They'd arrest you and let it get sorted out in court.

Heroin CANNOT BE PRESCRIBED AS A MEDICAL DRUG cause its like Class 3 or something.. Under US laws, anyway.

Actually, heroin (and it's opiate derivatives like morphine, methadone, codeine) is a prescribable drug.

Film it with my cellcam and put it on youtube.
