My Busted Story - Extremely Fu*%ked Up - Need Legal Advice!!
I pre-ordered my copy of Legal Muscle and have a fairly decent understanding of my rights and the CJS. It paid off about a month ago when I was met outside my mail box by US Customs, DEA, Local Vice, and a few other agencies I had never heard of. I knew what was going on and when they asked me what was in the package I told them I didn’t know as I hadn’t opened it yet. They asked me if I knew anything about it and I said that it says it’s from China. Then they began to ask me questions about other people at which I invoked my right to counsel and was placed under arrest for possession of AAS. I guess that is what was in the package from China; I never opened it or saw its contents.
They took me to my apartment and asked for the keys so they wouldn’t have to break the door down and I told them I would not give them my keys as that could be seen as consenting to a search. We waited 5 hours until finally a search warrant was issued and they entered my apartment to find 26 bottles of testosterone and some syringes. Then they asked me what some pills were in a safe and I repeated that I wasn’t going to talk to them without talking to my attorney first.
Some of the agents were cool and respectful, loosening my cuffs and getting me something to drink while some others were talking about what a big time bust this was and how fucked I was. Then they told me that I was looking at possession of 12,000 doses dbol that was in the package plus another 260 doses for the 26 10ml bottles. This is complete bullshit because in my state, North Carolina, a dose is 50 tablets or 1 10ml bottle so I was legally in possession of 250 doses, not 12,260. This is a major difference because most DA’s have no clue about AAS and think I had 12,260 hits of X on me.
Finally, after 7 hours, no attorney, and bullshit threats, the tax collector arrived and told me that whatever I told him was a civil case and would not affect criminal charges despite the fact there are 20 agents tearing my place apart. I’m sure they wouldn’t listen though. Then I was getting pissed because I don’t know who the hell this guy is or if he a tax collector or narcotics investigator and told him again I wasn’t going to talk to anyone until I spoke with my attorney.
Then the tax man got out a calculator and in literally 5 min, punched some numbers in and told me I owed $88,453 in taxes…and that it was due NOW! He told me I had to give them my car and other items of value that could be used to pay off the debt. At this point, I was pissed as hell and told him there was no way in hell I would make that kind of decision without consulting my attorney I asked for 8 hours ago. They said they would leave my car but if I moved it I would be arrested again and that if I didn’t pay the $88k within 48hrs it would increase by 50%. I was so pissed at all these bullshit scare tactics so I told them fine, I don’t care, and I’m not giving you anything now.
Now this is what really pisses me off. The car is registered in my Dad’s name because I got it about 5 years ago and paid it off 3 years ago. It was still in his name for insurance purposes. Once they find that out, they call my Dad at 11:30 at night and tell him his son is running a drug cartel, looking at time, and owes over $88k but if he signs the car over to them they will use it against my taxes otherwise it will be confiscated by the police dept. Of course my Dad wasn’t ready for that call and did the best thing he felt he could – sign over the car. I couldn’t talk to him because I was in jail for 48hrs during which I could not see any visitors.
I finally post bond and return to find my apt completely empty – computers, TVs, furniture, barstools, patio furniture, my headboard, watches, jewelry, everything was gone.
How the hell can they legally take all my possessions without even letting me speak with my attorney and before I have even been proven guilty?
Is “Innocent until proven guilty” not a part of our legal rights anymore.
I’m going to speak with my attorney tomorrow and would greatly appreciate any insight or advice that would be beneficial so I can make sure he knows.
Thanks bros, and a special thanks to RC – you are the man!
