it's encased by this thick layer of tissue known as fascia.you injure your muscle to the extent miles did, the muscle will start to swell. because of that thick layer of tissue surrounding it it really doesn't have much that it can swell. and it starts to die as a result. it starts to push on the nerves arteries, veins and the muscle tissue starts to die. at that point, two options. you can open up the outer layer, that fascia and give the muscle room to expand. but in his case, it was already too late for that jake. the muscle was already so far gone they made the decision toto amputate amputate. >> you and i have the good fort tup to not only work with miles who's so smart but to be friends with him. he's such a good guy. at one point he tells you he thinks this is a great time to be an amputee. explain what he meant. >> you know, we live in the days of youtube. this is a scene i'll just tell you, jake he's reading e-mails he got after the aamputation. it was powerful. it was tough, jake. he ace a friend. he's a grown man. it's tough to see

because that compartment is covered by a tough unforgiving layer of connective tissue known as fasciawhen the swelling gets worse, the muscle has nowhere to go. everything gets squeezed and eventually the blood flow to the arm is disrupted. this is critical. without a steady flow of oxygen and nutrients to the arm, nerve and muscle cells begin to die. if left untreated, it can be fatal. as the muscle dies, it releases toxins that can cause kidney failure. miles' arm, 48 hours after the accident, was dying. that's when he finally went to the hospital. and what did your arm look like at this point? >> it was kind of, you know, swollen and yellowish. it was not a pretty bruise. and then what happened happened too was it, there was like numbness in my hand that started to get discolored. that's when i got really nervous. >> what did the doctor do at that point? >> he said we need to get you into surgery right away to do a fasciotomy. >> that's an incision into the fasha to help relieve the swelling muscles in acute compartment syndrome. timing is crucial when the blood flow is cut off. wh

the muscle in the artery the veins, nerves wrapped up in a tight layer of tissue known as fascia. so the response is it swells to the injury but it had nowhere to swell so it starts to sort of die and push on the arteries around it cutting off the blood flow and eventually when that muscle dies it releases toxins into the rest of the blood and that could potentially be a life-threatening situation. the goal is and this is what i think they were thinking at the beginning is let's open up that compartment around the muscle give it room to swell and maybe that could curtail the damage. problem was, by the time miles was in the hospital it was too far gone. there was too much muscle that already died. >> you had never heard of anything like this had you? >> no anderson. when i finally got to the doctor acute compartment syndrome, they said, say it again, please? literally, as he was ordering up the surgery, i was wikiing it. the first line was, had the words amputation and fatal. so i thought, oh boy. >> that's how you found out? >> yes, that's exactly how i found out. >> that's quite

let me start with the fascia point then circle back to the merits. to hear mr. goldstein describing the rule the only objections that are going to be raised are harassment and whether this is for a legitimate purpose. but if that's the concern, that's a classic as-applied challenge. if a hotel has a cop coming up to them five times a day, they come in and say this is really harassment, these searches are inappropriate. and if it's the purpose of the officer officer, he's doing criminal investigation rather than compare caring about whether my records are complete that is an as-applied challenge. the plaintiffs have not tried to demonstrate this ordinance is unconstitutional in every circumstance. on pages 19 to 20 of our brief we develop numerous snare yoes and mr. goldstein mentioned only one of them. so, for example, where the hotels require's required to upload the records to the police department every day, it may not even be a search but it's certainly less intrusive. >> that's not the statute. i didn't understand those examples because some of those exampl
