Kuro Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 What does "having reason to know" mean? Is that just vague wording to allow prosecutors to say that promoters should have been aware of drug activity even if they weren't involved and didn't have any specific knowledge?

shadygroovedc Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 Could "profit monetarily" be used to arrest DJs, bartenders, etc under this amended act? This is getting out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
