Racing regulators don't bother to call police even when tracks with casinos have police stationed there.<br /><br />Example: Racing commission employees search vehicles entering barns and paddock areas. If they find illegal drugs or drugs that are illegal to possess without a prescription, they treat the cases as racing rules violations. Police should be called and those in the vehicle should be arrested or given citations according to the usual procedures under criminal law. <br /><br />Example: If a racing license has been suspended or revoked and the person appears in a racing area while banned, police should be called to issue at least a citation for trespass. When the person is just asked to leave, there's no court record. <br /> <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
