Rules Will Be Inforced At The Place

[Sly]

What a backwards town. From police chiefs selling meth to pot sniffing dogs in the hostel.

[Tin Man]

You don't need probable cause to walk a sniffer around, smart guy. The Supreme Court has already ruled that a dog's nose is unbiased.

taking a leap from walking the dog thru the place to checking road crossings and the streets is drug-induced paranoia, high guy

1. I was being sarcastic in my original post

2. It would still be legal, a waste of time, but legal

3. Get a clue. If you're going to dance with me, learn some moves.

calling you on this... the supreme court case i found was for traffic stops for legitimate reasons

[Lone Wolf]

i don't think we need cops walking down the streets of the united states of america sniffing out pot smokers. money could be better spent

this about one hostel on the AT. it's about disrespecting the church's wishes and disrespecting me as someone who's been asked by the caretaker to help out with enforcing the very simple rules. it says a lot about hikers that can't seem to follow these rules. the "hiking community" has brought it on themselves. do not come to the Place if you're carrying pot. anyone have a problem with that feel free to call the Methodist church, the town hall and the police department and complain.

Then how did they just randomly walk a dog through the hostel? Or is a hiker automatic probable cause?

[Lone Wolf]

Why don't they? Why not just walk them around everywhere, 24 hours a day? Someone might have weed

you don't get it. obviously you never will

Ok, final comment - really.

Damascus has for years put itself out to the hiking community as an "over the top" party town, officially sanctioned. Now they wonder why hikers are coming into the town with a party attitude. They don't seem to mind when they are making big bucks off the crowds.

Close it down. My opinion of Damascus is diminishing.

that's a BS statement
feel free to stay away. we're talking about a privately owned church dwelling that has a few very simple rules that quite a few hikers think don't apply to them.

1. You're dumb for not catching it

2. There is no specific case because nobody is dumb enough to have instituted such a practice. However, the case you mentioned, plus NJ vs. T.L.O(searching school lockers) and another case I can't think of affirms that a dog has an unbiased nose and can be used without probable cause.

3. You stepped on my foot

Is this thread about dancing or chess. . .

[Lyle]

I don't carry pot, don't use alcohol much. I think I'll just continue to avoid Damascus and Trail Days altogether rather than try to decide when hikers are welcomed and when they are not.

As I said, if the Place has become such a problem, shut it down. Better than resorting to Gestapo tactics and making everyone suspect.

why you keep posting on it?

[generoll]

please note, I have been reliably informed that a pot sniffer has been installed on the AT gateway along the path by the river in the park leading into town. Beware and be warned.

[zoidfu]

correction- NJ vs. T.L.O does not deal with the dog specifically, I'm thinking of another case.
