3 Strike RAVE Offenders Face Life Without Parole
Civil liberties campaigners from the Drugs Policy Alliance (DPA) warned this week
that US authorities plan to escalate the drug war to a new level of harshness under
new laws which could see clubbers being jailed forever.
"They want to expand the federal 'three strikes and you're out' law to include new
offences, including mandating life imprisonment (with no possibility of parole) for
anyone convicted a third time under the RAVE Act," said DPA director Bill Piper this
week.
"They want a mandatory 2-year prison term for anyone who knows someone is selling
marijuana on a college campus and fails to report it to the police within 24 hours.
They want a mandatory 5-year prison term for someone at a party who passes a
marijuana joint to someone who has been enrolled in drug treatment at some point in
their life," he added.
The new laws are to be introduced in Congressman Sensenbrenner's bill H.R. 1528,
entitled 'Defending America's Most Vulnerable: Safe Access to Drug Treatment and
Child Protection Act of 2005' which first appeared last year and could soon become
law.
"We need to keep the heat on members of Congress to kill this bill", Mr Piper
stressed. "We're up against the most powerful forces in the federal government. We
hope you will continue to stand with us in this massive showdown."

all these laws really do is make people devise better ways to not even getting caught. thats the only rule. just dont get caught.
last night, driving home, i saw a guy getting busted for DUI. checkin his eyes with flashlight. he'll be gone for a while. |

| People who get caught in a DUI, they get what they deserve. Seriously, if you get ed up, be smart enough to know you can't drive. If I know I'm gonna get ed up, I make plans before hand to get back home safely and me not drive. |
