It was used against defendants not in school, after school hours, and defendants that weren't selling to kids. I don't know about you but a prosecutor has alot of say in determining that enhancement especially when it's a big stretch like that.<BR/><BR/>Second. Meth hasn't caught up with these provisions yet so it may be premature to say the rural areas aren't affected the same way as urban areas. We Americans usually don't discriminate so Bubba is just as likely to be enhanced for meth just as Cheesecake is for crack. <BR/><BR/>Here is my problem. We're going to narrow the scope becasue the enhancement wasn't used properly or better it was abused. So narrowing it will eliminate the "abuse" of the law not the intended purpose of the law.
