Equity-Injunction Against Criminal Proceedings

Michigan Law Review

The possessor of certain slot machines filed a bill in equity to enjoin police interference with their operation. Although the machines, as operated, sold mints for each coin played and occasionally vended tokens which allegedly had no exchange value, they could be changed, by the removal of a pin, into an actual gambling device. The court held in Chambers v. Bachtel, that the bill should be dismissed.
