If you are going to comment on the community you were never a part of or a certain class you never been a part off, then be humble when you get corrected. > It was not an arrestable offence. Selling "loosies" gets your a $100 fine, not an arrest. Read the laws. Get off Wikipedia and stop pretending to know stuff, there is a clear pattern where you attempt to know everything. The fine has not been anywhere close to $100 in NYC for selling cigarettes for years now. This fine you are speaking about is also imposed on stores. Not people who are classified as drug dealers. Right now you get fined $1000 for failing to display warning label within your store. Selling to minors? You are looking for thousands of dollars of fines. Those fines go up 3/4x if you keep it up. This would have been arrest #3 for Eric. Which would likely would have resulted in heavy fines / jail time. > The crime was of selling loose cigs, not selling to children. It was a tax issue, plain and simple. What tax issue? He is selling loosies at profit. Taxes are already paid and the kids can't get those in bodegas anyways. If anything he was helping with your so called 'tax' issues. Majority of buyers are kids. Grown men won't pay 50% mark-up on something they can get in the store. Neither of your counter points hold any water, stick to bullshitting your friends. They don't know any better.
