Question by flamboyant: United States citizan protection in forign country?
Hypothetically speaking, what if I were to get into trouble in a foreign country like Yemen where they are notoriously harsh on sentencing. Let’s say I got caught with a small amount of pot or something to that extent. The penalties for possession of drugs in such countries can be life imprisonment, or beheading. Being a US Citizen, facing execution for such a small offense, would the US government negotiate my release into their custody? Would they try to get me back to US soil to face trial here? What is protocol in these situations?

No, I am not going to Yemen, or any other country for that matter!
I am just curious as to how far my country would go to help it’s citizens in such a scenario. So please don’t respond with answers such as “You shouldn’t have had pot in that country” or “You should never have been in Yemen in the first place”. Again, I have no intention of EVER going to any place like this!    Read more...

Question by lola: If you got caught harvesting marijuana in a national forest, could you claim you didn’t plant it and be ok?

Could you blame it on other people who have bigger criminal records, or true in dealers to get off your charges?

Best answer:

Answer by ladyfish
Have you ever heard the phrase “Possession is 9/10ths of the law.”? Basically, no. Hypothetically, if you were caught with marijuana and were going to be prosecuted, there is a chance you might be offered a deal by the district attorney’s office so they can catch the bigger fish but it’s not at all something one can rely on. Drugs alone are a Federal crime, but “defacing” a national forest by planting illegal substances there would probably add some time onto the sentence. Get out while you still can! 🙂    Read more...
