Reply to comment by the_simurgh in Indiana Senate passes bill to legalize throwing stars by Phlegmbrandt

It's not illegal in the "our detectives are working around the clock to follow the paper trail to find out who is in possession of ninja stars" sense.

It's more like "this is one of those crimes the police can use to arrest you when they want to arrest you for SOMETHING but can't quite make what they want to arrest you for stick." Or if they are charging you with something else and want to tack on a few more bonus charges.

I envisage crooked Indiana cops keeping illegal ninja stars handy, to 'plant' on suspects. Safer than a throw-away firearm, hey?

Eh, that's a stretch. They have plenty of Marijuana on hand to use already.

Hell, they don't even need to use up their personal stash.

"I smelled it" is all they need to violate the rights of minorities.
