Will NYS get out the jack boots and raid these Indian reservations and put an end to the sale of untaxed cigarettes ?....They would if you or I were doing it, but rest assured the effort will be focused on the user and not the pusher...Motorists leaving a reservation will be harassed in an effort to dissuade the public from patronizing the Indians....The Post Office will be pressured to halt the delivery of said products...The effort will be to make the reservation stores die on the vine....except perhaps for the more well-heeled tribes like at Turning Stone who have enough political weight and money to buy peace.
There will be no direct confrontation because the government doesn't have the muscle or stomach for what could happen. Tribes do have the cash to protect their interests in court but the little stores do not and they will be targeted first.
One tactic to get around the tax may be a recent purchase of a cigarette rolling plant in Western New York....It is likely Indian-produced butts will be exempt anyway.

You can rest assured it will be the individuals leaving the reservation getting harrassed.The state police cannot afford another confrontation with the Indians and the State couldnt afford to pay them if they do. Roadside harrassment has been a common thing from the reservation upwards to Morristown. Picking individuals out and searching their vehicles without warrants is common. Drug sniffing dogs by agencies looking for aliens.. He hehehehe...We can complain all we want but t will continue. If they dont have a valid reason to stop you but do stop you its illegal. Hoever they lie about their reason and the others lie for the liar.. Down in Massena a few years ago an off duty cop suspected drugs being sold .. He lied about his reason to ge t involved but the State Police eventually stopped the individual. They did find drugs.. However later in court the charges were dismissed as the cops had lied about the reason they stopped the driver. He was on a cell phone said the cop... Cell phone records indicated the driver didnt have a cell phone and the other person in the car had one but it hadnt been used.. Ultimently case dismissed.. Why wasnt the cop charged with perjury.
Wow, second fist thumper for you today...did you buy a Harley to park along side the Barbie Jeep?
4:41 The point is the point he's making. What 4:39 is saying should be noted and remembered. This is not the way our society should be heading. And why are we willing to accept this? So Shelly Silver can run a ponzi scheme to support a corrupt government. Oh, I almost forgot. I don't smoke. Therefore I don't have any interest in illegal traffic stops and unethical behavior.
blat, blat, blat over cigarettes?
who cares!
I thought this was over illegal traffic stops. But you're right, who cares?
What is amazing is this is a soverign nation, when they have problems the SP intervene, The SP love it, the ones near retirement want to go there,(OT ups their retirement) This is as bad with local law enforcement, The Feds want us to enforce seat belt laws, And it's always done on OT.
It's about the huge power grab. People are so quick to give up their liberty aka freedom for the promise that everything will be wonderful.We've put the lunatics in charge of the asylum. The Declaration of Independence says that it is our obligation to fire these baby kissers.
