he supposedly didn't know, after being busted they tested what he was selling..
which is interesting , since if the law doesn't care , why bother testing...
well they test it because its almost impossible to be convicted of possessing or selling something like oil only. no law against having legal stuff in ur possession. unless he got popped on an undercover sting then that is different

Blah blah blah Latina's ass...blah blah blah!
What I am saying Chesty . is it is a waste of money to test it..
my understanding was they had him selling, and at least claiming it was real.
and it didn't matter if it was real... he was going down for it being real..
hmmm. I wonder if it was because then need to know how to dispose of it ..
after all if it was a just oil, then they could dump it down the drain..
but gear they would have to dispose of ...somehow
They test it because if it is bunk it is a defense to being prosecuted and a good defense attirney will get you off if the stuff is fake. Now if you test it and itnis real you can get an easy conviction for possession and the case is open and shut. Plus you now have leverage to work a deal to get the guy who got you the stuff to sell. It is very hard to get a conviction even eith i tent if the stuff is fake. I know first hand how it works and they are gonna make sure of what they have to get a convction, gain further leverage over the suspect and get you more time in jail.
Whether or not that was the motivation here I do not know.

well of course Dave claimed he didn't know. He got 6 months IIRC, and it was my understanding he was selling quantity.
you answer makes sense , if the stuff is bunk , he can't really roll on anyone ..
even if he does, then you have to wait for the dealer to try to sell,
because if they just raid the place..all you have for evidence is bottles of bunk...
now I have no idea why you would have bottles of bunk accept to sell... but as you say a good lawyer could argue it .
where as it is a lot harder to explain bottle of juice ..
