However, he is crossing 3 state lines in the process, breaking federal law.
Pearls Before Swine creator Stephan Pastis breaks 25% of the law.

Did he not break federal law when purchasing them? Or is it just the sale of that is federally illegal? Never bothered to look.
Eyelessoozeguy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Transporting across state lines is weird and federally regulated.
Pandantic@midwest.social 11 months ago
Crossing state lines is interstate commerce, and that is federal jurisdiction.

What happens if you get an abortion on that spot?
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In his order, abortion is: Homicide after 15 weeks and before a 24-hour waiting period, Legal at your convenience, Legal at your convenience but only if the mother is in danger, Homicide after 18 weeks and before a 72-hour waiting period.
The only way to perform an abortion on that spot that is 100% legal is if it is done before 15 weeks, after waiting 72 hours, and the mother’s life is in danger.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Wait three days for an abortion and nobody bats an eye.
Wait three days for a firearm and everybody loses their minds.

This guy aborts
danc4498@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Waiting 72 hours? Sounds like you just waited 15 weeks. Let me flush this gummy!

Clouds will form over the spot as a warm wind blows in from the southeast. Flecks of rain will fall and a slow rumble will build from below as the ground shakes and a hole appears from the fallen ground. A representative of each will be sent: a sheriff, an artist, a socially conscious libertarian, and a racist.
They will each give you one gift and then the sheriff arrests you and takes you to be judged by the racists. The others watch on in quiet disapproval, to the abortion or the arrest it isn’t clear. The racist then says “As foretold, the skies open and you’re on trial in another state.”

A lot of slack-jawed tourists. Probably some dehydration as well.

Going out of your way to have an abortion exactly there?
That sounds just like a
satanicwithcraft ritual.Not sure if there more or less steps, maybe it just IS considering abortion used to be a job for the local herbalist women.

Man my brain is toast.
I was scratching my head wondering which state would ban gummy bears and why no one in the comments seemed curious about that.
Then I realized weed gummies.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nah man, Utah made gummy vitamins a misdemeanor to ensure kids wouldn’t get tricked into enjoying them. /S
niktemadur@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Man my brain is toast.
Do… erm… gummies have anything to do with it?
De_Narm@lemmy.world 11 months ago
His pockets are only in two states each. He may be in physical possession of illegal drugs for that one state, but the drugs themselves may not be there. How would that be ruled?
Syd@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Technically they’re on his person which is how possession is usually defined.
flerp@lemm.ee 11 months ago
But possession is 9/10 of the law which means means this is only 9/40 or .225% illegal
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe he was spinning around at the time.

Love me some Four Corners mischief. There is usually a food truck there serving Native American frybread - delicious!!!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Do they sell “Indian tacos?” I had that when I was working at a local TV station shooting news footage of a regional powwow and it was awesome. Taco ingredients on the frybread you’re talking about.
I’m not meaning to be culturally insensitive. They called them Indian tacos, not me.
krashmo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
We’re calling them freedom tacos now you god damn xenophobe.
tyler@programming.dev 11 months ago
Yes, American Indians prefer to be called Indians, not native Americans. You’re not being insensitive.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Holy shit I haven’t thought about frybread in like, a decade and now you made me think about it. How dare you.
AThing4String@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Luckily it is not too hard to make my friend! Whip yourself up a batch tonight.
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I miss fry bread sooo much. I always try to tell people it’s like funnel cake but simpler. I haven’t had it since I’ve been to Havasu.

“Those where theoretical gummies to proof a point”
That why they are “in his pocket” and now openly On display.
Could also argue my left leg and pocket didnt cross the border, only my right did.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Habeus Corpus. Any judge would laugh a prosecutor out of the court if this was the only evidence.
Then they would probably be fired.

nxdefiant@startrek.website 11 months ago
I would not have posted this. The long dick of the law makes an echidna’s look normal.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think it would be pretty much impossible to prove he had gummies in his pocket at the time. I also don’t know that Stephan Pastis is the right person to make an example of.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
he also didn’t specify what kind of gummies
They could have been caffeine gummies and he was talking about them being illegal in the eyes of the LDS church in Utah.
TorJansson@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Err… I meant DUMMIES! These damn dummies in my pocket …
niktemadur@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Better watch out for the long arm of 1/4 of the law.
hakunawazo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s either more or less than 25%, depending on whether he has the gummies in his left, right or back pocket.
grue@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Three out of four of those corners (including the one in which the gummies are a misdemeanor) are also within the Navajo Nation. Kinda feels like that tribal jurisdiction ought to matter.
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They do. And for most purposes each reservation is it’s own little defacto nation. They aren’t truly, but definitely in spirit lol.
Eyelessoozeguy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it’s weird. I think it’s in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.
Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They don’t necessarily. Historically they didn’t have jurisdiction over non-tribal members. Now there are some detainment powers, but it is not 100% clear still.
Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ummm that is a sold sort of. It is more clear now, but is history tribal police couldn’t reinforce the law or even detain non tribal members. After a supreme court ruling and a new federal law tribal place have some power over non-tribal members. But not to necessarily to the extent of other local law enforcement.
