I think that's absurd, but it is what it is.

A lot of laws are bordering on or actually absurd, but you have to keep in mind that a "defined by law" and "defined" are not the same thing. That's what trips a lot of people up when they have to go to court. It doesn't matter what the actual real life definition of something is if a law somewhere states it is something else.

 

[Absolutego]

How? Is he not giving accurate legal analysis whilst also being entertaining? Does he not actually care about the law or anything he talks about or not really hold the opinions he proclaims and is just doing all of it dishonestly solely for money?

FYI this user is a pedophile who joined this site to defend fucking 10 year old girls and had the brilliant idea to re-join after he dropped the ampersand from his handle
Expect nothing more than balldowashing and general defense of degeneracy from this creep.

 

[RodgerDodger]

and a stipulation of no streaming during the probationary period? Imagine Nick's horror!

That gets into a really touchy area, as technically it is how Baldo makes his living. I don't think a Judge will ban him from streaming. At least not the one dealing with the drugs. Now CPS and the Juvenile and Family court might go there. If they feel Nick's streaming is in some way detrimental to the wellbeing of the kids.

He got the dog on camera for sympathy, but it looks like he's mercilessly choking it so hard its eyes are bulging out.

Sad part is that's just what the average pug looks like at all times.

[theapropos]

Right. @AnOminous corrected me. (When he was first arrested, it was assumed they had taken his phone and accessed the data.) I assume privacy rights protect computers and devices? It just seems odd to me. His data would likely reveal his dealer, proof that he had been buying drugs for months, etc.

Separately, the Mindset & Sean stream was excellent on the legal points, particularly about a similar case in Minnesota. (LawTube has finally started to delve into MN state laws.) In that case, the accused entered an Alford plea, accepting the punishment (5 years probation and 100 hours of community service) without admitting guilt. This seems very plausible for Nick.

Mindset wrote a good slide on the case which he shows at about 38:30 in the stream.

One brain in the frenzied waters. Yes the market rate is plea and rehab. Wannabe lawyers don't even get that. They are still more interested in treating addiction as medical rather than criminal. Anyone that says 27 years is a loon. People have been caught with more and after rehab, all charges are dropped. But of course you'd have to claim addiction made you crazy, which the narcissist will never do.

 

[DumbDude43]

Why would you think cocaine wasn't a narcotic?

because in a medical context narcotics are drugs that make you fall asleep or pass out.
stimulants like coke have the opposite effect, they make you more alert and awake.

but in legalese they're all labeled as 'narcotics' despite this being technically incorrect.

 

[Josie and the Sussy Cats]

I’m cracking up at EVS saying that the kids may have gotten the coke.

People who recklessly say or write those kinds of things about INNOCENT CHILDREN deserve to be prosecuted criminally as slanderers and libelers. There should be serious suffering for EVERY JewTuber saying these kinds of things.

It's a sociolinguistic phenomenon called accommodation.
I picked up "yank" as the Limey term of endearment for us when I lived there, so I am nicely speaking to him in his own language.

It's really grating as a Southerner, admittedly, but less stinging than "yankee."

The penalty for referring to those below the Mason-Dixon Line as "yankees" (a well-known synonym for "vermin") should be death.

Oh, OK. I didn't know that. I guess that makes sense what with the word narcolepsy and all. Narcolepsy... Hey, wait a minute...

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

You read the code but didn't understand the code. Though cocaine is technically not a narcotic per the definition of narcotic, legally it counts as a narcotic under state and federal law.

In MN, per https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/152.01

§Subd. 10.Narcotic drug.
"Narcotic drug" means any of the following, whether produced directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of vegetable origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis, or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis:
(1) opium, coca leaves, opiates, and methamphetamine;
(2) a compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, or preparation of opium, coca leaves, opiates, or methamphetamine;
(3) a substance, and any compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, or preparation thereof, which is chemically identical with any of the substances referred to in clauses (1) and (2), except that the words "narcotic drug" as used in this chapter shall not include decocainized coca leaves or extracts of coca leaves, which extracts do not contain cocaine or ecgonine.

"Cocaine" has a separate definition, but it all fits within "compound derived from coca leaves."

Well son of a bitch, you're right, cocaine is legally a narcotic. I think that's absurd, but it is what it is.

Why absurd? If the outcome is rational (in this case, distinguishing between the egregiousness of 1 g vs 25 g), even if the terminology is different than in other contexts, where's the absurdity?

That means if he gets the weight under 25 grams, it would indeed be third degree possession, which is eligible for a deferred adjudication but not mandatory.

Different counties' programs have different diversion eligibility thresholds. Did not find Kandiyohi diversion specifics, but published material for Hennepin states eligibility includes 4th/5th degree so long as no gun possession. So for Rackets, if Kandiyohi aligned to Hennepin, even to be eligible would require a charge of 4th or 5th, plus removal of the gun charge.

I don't know if someone noticed it before that

This also would be around the time they went full on into swinging.

Hennepin County is the George Floyd Dindu Nuffin’ shithole epicenter of Minnesota. St. Paul in Ramsey County is the only place worse in the state for crime due to its concentration of niggers. To Hennepin County drugs dealers = niggers = systemic racism to actually punish them for their crimes. Among the Twin Cities Hennepin has more money and influence therefore more woke white women in charge virtue signaling about equity and restorative justice. Ramsey is technically the Capital but has less money and is run mostly by niggers so even if they wanted to punish crime they can’t afford to. Hennepin was ground zero for the 2020 Negroid Floyd Droid Riots.

 

[Captain Manning]

I got that impression because I read the code.

Third degree? 10 grams? You're completely wrong.

I am going to assume you've now realized I'm completely right. I read the code too, dude. 10 to just under 25 grams of coke would be third degree possession.

He's NOT getting it down to a fifth degree unless a lot of that coke suddenly disappears.

One other thing....

Schedule 1. That's cocaine.

No, it is NOT. Cocaine is a Schedule II controlled substance.

One of the bigger controversies in American drug policy is that marijuana is Schedule I even though nearly everybody that isn't the DEA agrees it has medicinal uses and is WAY less dangerous than cocaine.

Alternatively, I hear there's a great pub/ bar/ bowling alley in Sartell, MN that even hosts comedy (and "comedy") sets. We could each order one single cheese curd in honor of Nick.

 

[Summer of George]

The way he talks, even assuming he's sober, is so fucking different from how he used to talk. He's genuinely inflicted brain damage on himself.

Hello, 3 years sober here after being a heavy everyday drinker for way too long.
Your brain is never the same again and you will never, ever be as sharp as you were before. You forget simple things all the time and you feel like a god damn dementia patient. It's horrifying, but you just learn to live with it.
And yes, talking is harder than it used to be. Real easy to mush-mouth your words, especially in the earliest stage of sobriety. You develop a complex over it because people think you're still drinking even if you're not. So now, on top of feeling demented, you also feel retarded, because you have to re-learn how to speak. In order to enunciate properly, you have to plan what you're going to say before you say it. You essentially become one of those field news reporters talking via satellite to the anchor back in the studio; there's always a two-second delay when it's your cue.
The ability to dish out snappy comebacks in the heat of the moment is pretty much gone forever.

To be honest I think in terms of societal impact a stimulant is far more beneficial than weed
All the Wall Street day-traders and night shifters and so on who need a pick-me-up to function better, but I don't think anyone in the history of the planet does better work on the devil's lettuce. Weed is far more a net negative on society, even if coke is individually far more damaging. Plus I hate stoners because they're retarded and gay and pseudointellectual and they stink.

Knowing Nick's proclivities (and the fact that weed is now legal in MN), the schedule I substance is probably MDMA.

 

[LOGOS and Lolz]

Adults can’t have “oppositional defiance disorder” it’s just called being a spoiled retard desperately refusing to learn a lesson.

ODD is just made up bullshit to "diagnose" people who won't take shit from "authority" and stand up for themselves. It's punitive psychiatry.

 

[Lubby Smith]

Why absurd?

Absurd in the sense that the word narcotic means basically the opposite of stimulant. In terms of the criminal code it makes sense to have a different penalty for 1 and 25 grams.

Different counties' programs have different diversion eligibility thresholds. Did not find Kandiyohi diversion specifics, but published material for Hennepin states eligibility includes 4th/5th degree so long as no gun possession. So for Rackets, if Kandiyohi aligned to Hennepin, even to be eligible would require a charge of 4th or 5th, plus removal of the gun charge.

The code section for drug offender deferred adjudication I quoted (152.1 is separate from the pretrial diversion for treatment courts code section (401.065). It should be the same statewide.

As for the drug court, I'm not sure Nick would qualify as a first time offender, at least according to the director back in 2014, which would make sense because those programs are more for completely dysfunctional longtime junkies.

 

[AnOminous]

Nick isn't selling anything the DA wants. The first offered deal will be the Judges preferred program of staying straight and narrow for 24 months, doing the program etc. Because in theory that's in the best interests of the family and community. If Nick rejects that (which he will) the DA is not going to sweeten the deal. The longer Nick waits to cut a deal the worse it gets. Because the only benefit to the DA is Nick pleasing out TODAY. Nick has no bargaining power in this. Every extra day of Nick tier bullshit worsens any deal. DA deals are FOMO. Get it now or lose it.

The one way it gets better is if he actually does get the warrant thrown out. I doubt they'll begrudge something that routine. Let's just say it makes more sense to do that than it did to dare Monty to sue and then spend six figures on Randazza.

Drug cases are very, very cut and dried, though. If you get out of them, it's generally some exclusionary rule. If the prosecution can point to a mound of cocaine in evidence, though, they're going to win barring a miracle. If the evidence is excluded, the vast majority of the time those charges go away. If the drugs go away, then the gun charges probably also do. It's probably all fruit of the poisonous tree at that point, and on top of that, the abuse/neglect seems to be predicated on the drugs and guns.

So it's worth a shot. That said, either the deal stays the same or gets worse if the warrant is upheld.

I think they only get really punitive about it if he makes some insane decision to fight it to the bitter end.

If I had to guess what would happen in a normal case, it would be pleading to a misdemeanor amount of drugs (or possibly a felony) but with a diversion agreement where it (and everything else) goes away if he completes some program. But I'm not taking into account whether this is a grudge match.

I'll also note we haven't seen the bodycam footage. It would be really dumb, but it's possible we see that and the cops completely made shit up and the bodycam contradicts them. That seems unlikely to me, but stranger things have happened.

If he can get the weight down to fifth degree possession (section 152.025) (up to 24.99 grams), then the court MUST defer adjudication on a finding of guilt.

Okay, so it's not even just "what usually happens," it's literally obligatory. So I'd upgrade my claim from it's worth a shot to he DEFINITELY should challenge at least the weight, which I already thought was the weakest part of the case, and throwing in a general challenge to the warrant itself can't hurt either.

(The 25 gram amount doesn't appear to be correct but I think he should still challenge it. A plea to a misdemeanor with a diversion agreement is really common. They may insist on it being a felony but also with a diversion agreement.)

I don't actually see anything wrong with the warrant on its face (other than what I've already mentioned), but the execution could have been deficient (although I've seen no sign of that so far).
