Yeah police do that. Policing by consent is all very well, but it doesn't really work if it's at the criminals consent.
Wait we can just tell cops we don't consent to them taking our contraband???
Fucking moron.
I absolutely love that she’s a “12-time Grammy nominee”. If she had ever won, they would’ve said that instead.
It's pretty cool for an artist to be nominated for a grammy. I don't know anything about this artist other than recognizing her name, but it's legit to list those nominations in your credentials. It's a real accomplishment.
True, I’m just being an ass because I don’t like her.
In that case, the grammies are just a private back-patting club, nominations and winners are meaningless anyway and Minaj is a talentless lip syncing influencer. All of which is maybe a little bit true!
You mean "12-time Grammy losses"?
I don't think I understand what you're getting at; it makes sense that they would've called her a Grammy winner if she'd won a Grammy.
She's bragging about losing 12 times.
Indeed. Thanks!
She called herself 12 times Grammy nominee?
Taking bags without your consent is kind of airport security's deal. They're explicitly allowed to do that.
About as much class as you would expect from Minaj
Must be nice to have a personal patsy
LOL
Yeah thats usually how costums work if you have illegal shit with you (like 40 joints and shit) be glad it happend on the netherlands and not in england , they are wat stricter on weed them the dutch. Dumb plastic noise machine.
Does the US not have any British war criminals they could trade for her? Russia got their Merchant of Death back for only a WNBA player that knowingly took drugs to Russia. Osama would still be alive if they had just kidnapped Tom Cruise.
The US will table 36 bills in the next few days in a rush to protect her (she's Trinidadian), whilst ignoring genocide, homelessness, opioid crisis...!
OMG, did Taylor just twitch!!
Or Singapore.
Taiwan entered the chat
Who brings drugs to an all you can do drug party? It like bring a porno to a porno shoot.
People are fucking dumb, what else can you say?
Like that dumb basketball lady who brought weed into Russia, what the fuck did you think was going to happen lol
I don't think she brought weed into Russia, think it was several vials of CBD oil.
It was THC hash oil, but CBD is also illegal in Russia so that wouldn't really make a difference.
Going into Russia at all is a stupid thing to do, going into Russia with literally any contraband at all is an insane thing to do.
I wouldn't attempt to go into Russia with a plastic knife just in case.
would you throw away your once in a lifetime chance at the Olympics that you've been training for your whole life, just because it was in Russia this one time?
always easier to judge from the sidelines.
would you throw away your once in a lifetime chance at the Olympics that you've been training for your whole life, just because you wanted to bring contraband.
I was responding to a comment about going to Russia in the first place, I think you're referring to something different.
Brittney Griner, yeah it was dumb but that was more political. She probably been though there many times. They just chose to enforce it that time.
On the one hand, it's still super fucking stupid. We had to give up an arms dealer or something for that. On the other hand, I could totally picture Russia just arresting someone because they decided that they were wearing the wingy colored socks
My old housemate was heading to Amsterdam for the weekend with some friends and the one friend stayed over at our flat the night before so they could leave early and I shit you not she was asking what drugs to take with them. Through the damn airports.
We had to tell her to not try anything because she will most likely get caught and she'll most likely be able to get what she wants over there.
These people exist.
I think it was when she boarding her flight from the Netherlands to UK.
Im sure you can get weed in England. Hell you can get weed damn near every country.
In England you can find weed by smell. Technically it's against the law to own it but the police never do anything about it because they don't care.
I know it is easy to find there. Most of the world puts it on the same level as alcohol, which is more dangerous. I just dont umderstand the need to risk it. Hell if you cant go a few days without then you may have issues and need to seek help.
Alcohol addiction is definitely dangerous.
Marijuana addiction tends to just be from people who lack any sort of personality and so taking drugs becomes the entirety of their personality. I'm sure you can get addicted to marijuana, but I think most people who claim to have an addiction are really just idiots with nothing better to do.
Like my roommate at university.
well, what else do you expect if you take weed through an airport.
It’s really not as big deal. Nobody is going after it these days.
This story speaks very much to the contrary.
This story is an anecdote. As the person below says, it was the quantity that was at issue here.
The issue isn't the weed, it's the quantity.
They won't do anything for 5 grams which is obvious for personal use.
She was purportedly caught with 30+ grams in her luggage.
And weed is not legal in the Netherlands. It's under "gedogen" which means the sale and use at point of sale which are very specific types of shops and growing a quantity for personal use" and carrying on you a quantity for personal use (5 grams) are officially overlooked, while still illegal.
Carrying around quantities that are more than would be for personal use while not being a permitted point of sale is still something you can get arrested for.
I take weed through airports all the time. I'm pretty surprised Amsterdam of all places gives a shit.
I think it's like Las Vegas and open container laws. It's a city ordinance that weed is allowed not a national one. And an airport is a national asset even if it is in Amsterdam.
Contrary to popular belief, weed is not legal in the Netherlands.
B-B-But it was "my security guy's weed!!! We told them!".
