86. So I'm just throwing out thoughts now.

What about "intent to sell" laws. Those laws, as I understand, are based on the weight that you are carrying. They don't have to prove that you were going to sell it. They just assume that based on the weight of the drugs you have. Couldn't the same standard be applied. If you leave the scene of an automobile accident, we assume that you were DUI and that will be added on to the charges.

Prior history is a form of evidence. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #80

Which is why its kept out of trials. rug Jan 2015 #81
