Georgia at it again: Man Jailed for having 1 Viagra pill in his Wallet

[dmcowen674]

Fausto normally posts Georgia's antics in here, don't think he saw this one yet.

I don't have a link to the story yet but here is the link to the charge:

Possession and control of controlled substances or dangerous drugs by anyone other than the individuals specified in Code Section 16-13-35 or 16-13-72 shall be legal only if such drugs are in the original container in which they were dispensed

An Atlanta man was stopped this week because his new car didn't have a proper Tag. When the Atlanta cop saw him open his wallet he saw 1 blue pill and immediately arrested the man. He spent overnight in jail and is awaiting trial.

The pill was Viagra.

Glad we got this dangerous heinous drug dealer off the streets, way to go Atlanta PD!

That'll teach him to act all hard

*rim shot*

 

All laws on substances are beyond ridiculous.

Some of you still argue we don't live in a police state. Go figure.

You mean this isn't Bush's fault?!? I thought everything was Bush's fault.

BTW, do cops test every drug they find when they find it?

NO, won't blame Bush, but Bush like mentality. I bet the cop is a NeoCon now that you mention it.

Viagra isn't federally scheduled, and I don't see it listed in Georgia's list of banned substances. Charges will probably be dropped.

More proof of global warming...
That and the fact that zero-tolerance is a joke.

I didn't know Georgia was the only state with laws regarding possession of prescription drugs. Stupid Georgians.

You do realize we're talking about Viagra, right?

You just said nothing. It would have been better if you didn't even post at all jackass.

You are assuming I'm going to use the standard run of the mill bullsh!t arguments typical people use.

There is only one valid argument... I am responsible for myself, I don't need the govt to be responsible for me.

 

[NightCrawler]

Wonder if the Judge will rip the cop a new one ?

PS: Proof once agian that a**holes become cops when they growup

So lets get rid of all law right? Or just for you? I dont get your point.

It doesn't matter if it's banned, the charges are for possession by a person other than the person with the subscription and carrying it outside an authorized pill contained. It's an insane law, but a lot of states make it illegal to carry pills in anything other than the bottle the pharmacy sells them in. Mostly it's to keep people from hiding percosets in the aspirin, but it's on the books and CAN be enforced if the prosecutors want to be idiots. The charges will likely be dropped, but the guy is technically guilty.

:beer: Well said
I don't want to live under the rule of a government that can arrest and imprison me at any time without cause. Let's not even mention the fact that one can be held indefinitely without a trial and even be deported as a result

VIAGRA is a prescription drug that works by increasing blood flow to the penis. It is not a hormone or an aphrodisiac. Once you take it, VIAGRA can work in as quickly as 30 minutes. VIAGRA works for 4 hours so you can set your own pace. And, in most patients, VIAGRA can be taken as often as once a day.

That Viagra right?

As long as it remains "by prescription only" the law applies. If it were an antidepressant would you say the same thing?

Listen, cracker, Possession and control of controlled substances or dangerous drugs... If it isn't a controlled substance or dangerous drug(specified by the state, and yes I did look), then your argument is inconsequential. Freaking white people... In this case it is up for the FDA to decide, and in that case I belive Viagra requires a prescription. So yeah, technically guilty, but I doubt Georgia will waste their time. After all it was some random dude, it wasn't a real criminal like Dave. j/k Dave.

No, don't jump to stupid conclusions. Don't try and drag me into some moral discussion on laws and personal responsibility either.
The govt. has no right to tell me what I can and cannot put in my body. Period.

I understand you don't get my point. You also stated you believe in prohibition.. so.. not much else to add on to that.

meh.. replace cracker with n*gger and replace white with black.. and Mill would be banned.

Mill, wouldn't the fact that you need a prescription mean it is controlled?

Were you born stupid or are you just trying to prove that you're an idiot? Hmmmm, maybe it's both. I'll try to explain this to you in simple sentences and easily understood words because your brain quite clearly can't grasp the concept:

1) The law reads "Possession and control of controlled substances..."
2) He possessed it.
3) Viagra is by prescription only
4) That makes it a controlled substance.
5) He illegally possessed a controlled substance
6) Get your mommy to teach you the difference between "banned" and "controlled"
7) If your mommy is busy with the mailman, heroin is banned, Viagra is controlled.

I edited to include that. Sorry.
