What about Limbaugh's Passport? How does he get out of
the country? wasn't his passport taken away because he's on probation? (he is on probation, isn't he?)

3. The laws don't apply to the rich neo-cons
It is all about how big of a lawyer you can afford and if the judge can be bought.

4. Richard Paey got 25 years
http://www.startribune.com/389/story/478473.html

Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal.

5. A passport is strongly recommended but you can visit there without one.

The same applies for many other Caribbean countries
until the US tightens its rules for reentry.
My question is what kind of a probation system
lets a probationer leave the country without
being in violation?

7. probation
No probation that I know of permits travel out of the local area of residence without notification, let alone travel out of state. The question not answered is: whether he is on probation or not,depending on this so called no contest ruling.

9. I've traveled there without a passport
Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 09:52 PM by Donna Zen
But it easier to go with a passport. I've also paid $10 so that customs wouldn't go through my bags and make a mess. The DR is a wonderful country with great people; however, sex-tourism is a real problem.
