Haven't you guys been watching the news. There's a bill being passed as we speak about this kinda stuff. More rights and freedoms are being taken away erery year in America.

I agree with our rights being taken no matter what party is running shit....even though we elect them they feel we are to stupid to think for ourselves (True in many cases!) I actually think this bill is so if they are already busting say a drug dealer and he has firearms as well the charges for the firearms still stand even though thats not what the warrent was issued for. What I think is fucked that our fuckin DEA went into Canada and busted Marc Emery (Pot seed dealer) and the canadien Gov let it happen even though he has paid over $500,000 in income taxes as a Pot seed dealer! WTF! Both goverments are fucked up on this. I do not care about pot seed dealers. ( I love them actually!) 98 million americans have tried pot! 1/3 of the population! I care about the fact that some of the 911 terrorist came through Canada! We really need to focus on the big issues! Before we all get dead.

and co-b man, I have a BSME, what you studying?

I graduated in 1997 with a BS in Engineering I left Criminal Justice a long long time ago

Civil/Structural but kind of only half using my degree!

CO B MAN is right. The key words here are PROBABLE CAUSE, you gave them probable cause when you let them see illegal drugs laying on your coffee table. Its the same way if you are pulled over and refuse them a search of your vehicle, all they do is get a K-9 and say the dog detected something this now gives them PROBABLE CAUSE to search you entire vehicle.

Cops do what they want bro.

Here's a flick that tells you the right way and the wrong way to handle police encounters on the road, on foot, and in your home. It's long, but watching it all the way through may save you or someone you care about a trip to jail and thousands of dollars in legal expenses/fines. Pay close attention how different the outcome of each scenario is based upon the responses of the peeps getting busted.

THATS EXACTLY what i tell everyone. They do whatever the fuck they want to do and you have to pay a lawyer out the ass to prove they did something wrong, either fucking way you lose

 

[Big_Joe]

well because there are a few roachs laying around and there is under drinking going on.. i dont think gives the cops the right to search underneath my bed in the far corner in a locked safe.... whut probaable cause is there, that underage drinking and pot would be there?

You need to cut a deal because the long and short of it is you're busted. See if you can get probation or something if you cop a plea but you're not going to get it thrown out because you don't think the cops should have done a search when they clearly saw drugs in plan view.

And get yourself a good lawyer. Beg borrow or steal the money but get one. The court will provide you with an attorney but the Constitution says you can have an appointed attorney but it doesn't say you can have a good one.

The only thing is, most people choke when they get in these situations. I remember about a yr ago this girl and I were discussing what to do if caught w/ weed in your pocket. I explained to her the most positive way to react in this kind of situation. I went over it in detail because her old man was a dealer and I knew the situation might arise someday where she should be prepared. Anyway, not less than a week later the cops showed up at her apt. and she did the exact opposite of everything I told her to do. A lot of people just fear 50 too much I guess?

So for all of you smart guys, what would you do if you got caught by the cops with a pocketfull of drugs???
