A: That was always the conner with the change of the law. The police are making an effort to stick individuals with possession with intent to share or distribute, and near schools and churches. There are some interesting arguments to this though. The prosecutors always want to argue that it is "as the crow flies", but there is case law that suggests it is roadway mileage. Many times the prosecutors don't really want to fight these case, so you have to be willing to challenge them. We would be happy to challenge and fight this type of case...
