Reciprocity is a good thing! Should be universal. Then you have the "stay pending an appeal" and that can be problematic. It's just, but you have to find a way to close any BS loopholes. If it goes legal (civil, not criminal), due process can offer the person the same result as a stay, but loopholes are harder to take advantage of.

People are arrested fore selling drugs on the street and they are back on the street selling drugs the next day. This is America. It is not Merriman fault, he just needs a social worker.

Just read via the USTA fines and suspensions list that Bates is on the "no trespass list" at Oak Grove. Until he is removed from this list he can't apply for a new license until he is removed from that list. Indiana has a reciprocity rule, thus the suspension there. It is listed as "conduct detrimental to the best interest of horse racing"
