Re: [BGObandit] ForcefulCJS - The worst Ahelp I've ever seen

This is more or less a case where the admin failed to really look into the case at hand and brushed it off as they believed the Warden was detaining them on probable cause to search them due to being in the proximity of Atmospherics. Which is all fine and well, but obviously that isn't the case here...
