hello hello (question about arrests)

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 06.16.2007, 01:23 PM

was arrested for half a gram of marijuana
misd. class b
shit wasnt even mine
i took a piss test at the doctor for peace of mind and passed it
lawyer says ill be fine and prob get it dismissed

however, i forgot to mention to him that they did not read my rights while i was being arrested/in custody
so does that make the arrest moot?

sellouteater · 06.16.2007, 01:24 PM

why did you have jane if you weren't going to smoke it?

edit: sry i'm no help to u for any legal stuff

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 06.16.2007, 01:25 PM

someone we were giving a ride to earlier that day left it in the backseat
i wasnt going to let my girlfriend get arrested and go to county for some pot that someone left in her car

trust me, had it been mine, i wouldve hid it in a better place... or eaten it
it was a half gram
a pinch, basicaly

sellouteater · 06.16.2007, 01:27 PM

wow that sucks

Savage Clone · 06.16.2007, 01:27 PM

The "being read your rights" technicality seems to be less easy to use in order to get shit dropped these days.
The clean pee test and tiny amount look good for you. I predict a fine at worst. Probably nothing. It would be good to ask to get the arrest expunged if you come out unscathed though, so you can still have a clean record.
If you had a clean record to begin with, of course.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 06.16.2007, 01:29 PM

yeah, first offense

law is pretty harsh here in the great state of texas

ALIEN ANAL · 06.16.2007, 01:31 PM

over here its soemthing like, if you get caught with a small amount that isnt enough to sell, you get a 500$ fine, and if u get caught with more u go to court i think

king_buzzo · 06.16.2007, 01:32 PM

That sucks. Get the cops name and report him

sellouteater · 06.16.2007, 01:35 PM

civil disobidence dont pay the fines !!!

evollove · 06.17.2007, 10:02 AM

Got busted with a very small amount in a small Ohio town (1/16 an ounce or something). Liscence was revoked for 6 months and I had to pay, like, 400 in fines, total.

A year later, busted again, in another, somewhat larger Ohio city. No revoked liscence, was given jail time but it was suspended (thank God) and like 150 in fines.

?????

So, you'll get whatever the fuck the judge feels like giving. I got a lawyer the second time, which makes me think that things could have been worse if I hadn't. Sux--either pay a lawyer or a court. (or, in my case, BOTH!)

Who the fuck, by the way, gets busted TWICE? I know old hippies who have been smoking for decades and have never run afoul of the law. God, I'm a loser.

evollove · 06.17.2007, 10:07 AM

Oh, second time I had to stand on one foot and give the cop the alphabet backwards! At 3 am. Anyhow, I fucked up. Couldn't have done it at 3 in the afternoon, anyhow.

The thing is, the cop made me do it on a gravel parking lot. I was told this was a no-no. Still, no one seemed to care.

The Miranda Rights violation seems like a bigger deal than gravel. Still, don't be shocked if the case stays open. They (the courts) figure that most people don't have the energy, time, and/or money to fight for an appeal. For the most part, they're right, and consequently get away with a lot.

Trasher02 · 06.17.2007, 10:15 AM

If we'd get busted we'd get a fine...
That's it.

truncated · 06.17.2007, 10:15 AM

Given the history of your antics, I'm surprised this is the first time you got busted for something. Consider it a character-builder.

As SC said, not being Mirandized doesn't typically allow you any breaks anymore, especially not, I would think, in a situation as minor as this. I wonder if your highly scandalous and publicized soiree of a while back is going to count against you. Ha!

No, really, good luck. But let this be a lesson to you for the future - chivalry is an outdated, naive, and downright silly notion. Should've gotten your bitch busted instead.

val-holla-ing · 06.17.2007, 10:54 AM

hopefully you'll be fine. it looks like everything else worked out in your favor, so maybe this will as well.

See this never happens in the UK, plus in wales the police really couldnt give 2 shinny shits about weed.

gmku · 06.18.2007, 09:12 AM

This is an opportunity. When your day in court comes, read the judge the riot act about unfair and ineffective are our country's drug laws. Then tell the judge that you refuse to pay the fines or court costs as a matter of principle.

Take a stand!

Police in the UK couldn't give a shit about most things, that's why the country is in such deep anti-social shit.
