You make it sound like these issues are unique to this one motel, when it comes with the business. > * The hotel owners made no policy changes after a methamphetamine lab was discovered in one of their rooms. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Hotels-motels-hot-spots-for-covert-meth-labs-3249284.php http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Hotels-motels-hot-spots-f... > * The hotel owners made no changes after the dead body of a heroin overdose victim was found in one of their rooms. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/06/murder-suicide-whitney-houston-death-hotel-beverly-hilton/ http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/06/murder-suicide-whi... > * Drug deals weren't simply occurring at the hotel; the Tewskbury PD repeatedly discovered drug dealers operating full-time out of rooms in the hotel. / * The owners of the hotel repeatedly admitted under oath that they had continuing knowledge of drug crimes occurring on their premises, and had no policies to investigate the use of their rooms. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/dec/30/hard-rock-hotel-hit-500000-fine-over-drugs/ http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/dec/30/hard-rock-hotel-... > * The hotel is, let's not sugarcoat it, a blighted flophouse... There are places like this all over American and they're all neighborhood blights that need to be shut down. Ah, now we are getting somewhere, because this seems to be the primary complaint. If Charlie Sheen does cocaine in a luxury hotel room, that's all good fun. And it would be absurd to shut down the hotel because of what Sheen did, right? But a motel that serves poor people who are not celebrities -- yet nevertheless do drugs sometimes -- is entirely different. This connects to the point that Orin Kerr and others have been making regarding the uproar over Aaron's death. "If you want to end these tactics, don’t just complain about the Swartz case. Don’t just complain when the defendant happens to be a brilliant guy who went to Stanford and hangs out with Larry Lessig. Instead, complain that this is business as usual in federal criminal cases around the country — mostly with defendants who no one has ever heard of and who get locked up for years without anyone else much caring."
