For those following , especially our members not from the USA
[h=1]THE FEDERAL "THREE STRIKES" LAW[/h]The Federal "Three Strikes" Law was enacted as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The "Three Strikes" Law requires enhancement of sentencing for a defendant who has been convicted of two prior felonies.
The "Three Strikes" Law provides that a defendant will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison if he or she is convicted in federal court of a serious violent felony and if he or she has had two or more prior convictions in federal or state courts. One of the prior convictions must be for a serious violent felony. The other prior conviction may be for a serious drug offense.
Under the "Three Strikes" Law, a serious violent felony includes murder, manslaughter, a sex offense, kidnapping, robbery, or any offense that includes the use of force or a significant risk of force and that is punishable by 10 or more years in prison. The "Three Strikes" Law also includes unarmed robbery if the robbery involved a threat regarding the use of a firearm or any other dangerous weapon or if the robbery resulted in death or serious bodily injury of another person. If the federal government seeks to enhance a defendant's sentence as a result of a prior unarmed robbery, the defendant has the burden of proving that the robbery did not involve a threat regarding the use of a firearm or another dangerous weapon and did not involve the death or serious bodily injury of another person. A serious violent felony does not include the offense of arson if the defendant proves that the arson did not pose any threat to human life and if the defendant proves that he or she reasonably believed that the arson posed no threat to human life.
A serious drug offense under the "Three Strikes" Law includes drug offenses involving continuing criminal enterprises, drug offenses involving the distribution, manufacture, or possession with intent to distribute large quantities of a controlled substance, or similar drug offenses under state law.
Under the "Three Strikes" Law, each offense that is used, except the first offense, must have been committed after a conviction for a prior serious violent felony or serious drug offense. The prior convictions must also be final convictions.
Sentencing under the "Three Strikes" Law is triggered when a prosecutor files a notice with a trial court prior to trial or a plea of guilty in accordance with the statute. The notice must set forth the prior convictions that will be used for the enhanced sentencing. The prosecutor must provide a defendant or his or her attorney with a copy of the notice.
The "Three Strikes" Law does not apply to persons who are subject to the jurisdiction of a Native American tribal government for offenses that are committed on a Native American reservation unless the tribal government has provided that the statute will take effect.

yeah, i just googled it too potsnob, and it looked to me as if it were nationwide as well.. i didn't realize that and thought it was only a few selected states..
the link i found had info on how many people in each state have been convicted on the 3 strikes law and cali is by far and away leading the pack in persons jailed over it though..

Well I'll say I caught a menacing charge involving a gun when I was 15.
I was put in cuffs when I was in 7th grade for drinking liquor at school and the cops showed up. Cop didn't like my father so he singled me out and cranked down the cuffs on me. Even the principle was like woah. lol

Seeing a lot of traffic related stuff here. I could go for days on that shit. My license has been suspended 12 times in only ten years of driving. Not that I'm a bad driver I just make poor choices. Just got it back last weekend let's see how long I can keep it.

I've never had much run in with the law. Break plenty of laws, but I don't get caught.
I learned how to avoid traffic tickets awhile ago - don't do anything illegal. I know it's crazy, but if you keep your registration and insurance up to date, make sure your lights are in working order and your car looks presentable, your car is not flashy or hot rodded or modded etc, you wear your seat belt, stop at red lights, and use the cruse control to make sure you never go more than 5 over the posted speed limit you won't get pulled over. Also don't drive drunk. You get pulled over once and are drunk and/or high your life could potentially be ruined.

Tincture perhaps. I know a very conservative guy who uses it for as a tincture to help with his cancer.

Yea but how to get in trouble for imbibing it? If you were caught with it you would get a possession charge.
