Default Re: Word of Warning to home games

Unfortunately, our government doesn't see it that way. Police officers are like anyone else who have jobs - if there is no work for them to do then there is no reason for them to have a job. So they find anything to arrest people for.

Good to see you posting here. While your intetions are good I think you anger might be a little misguided. The police are merely enforcing the law....which is their job. If you do not agree with the laws, working to get the laws changed would be much more productive and make much more sense than trying to start some sort of Poker Players v. United States of America battle.

If you were convicted of a felony I think you would probably change your mind.

I would just go to the media to get sympathy.

Not really sure what this would accomplish. Would "the media" give you money to buy a house after the bank turns you down for being a convicted felon?

Having cops coming into my home to seize my money would piss me off.

Seriously though, starting some imaginary turf war with the cops is not going to fix this. Either be a little more discreet about the rake, don't rake, or work towards making small raked games legal.
