Got nailed with some 26-a possesion of marijuana and parifinalia last night. One of the kids in my grade shot my car up with some paint balls, and i got pulled over for it. The cops were dicks as usual and called in six backup cars...yes, six. They looked in my windows and i turned everything over for them and insisted that i had no paintball guns in my car. Then, they asked me to get out. I got out and locked my car and told them that i didnt concent to any searches. Then the cop just went inside and laughed. Found my piece, a scale and a gram of dank. Arrested

I have to go to court next week and have no idea what to expect. I have a feeling that my car was searched illegally but that is just me speculating (im sure cops allways find a way to get in 'legally') Any one else been in this boat before?

edit: My friends car had two loaded semi automatic paintball guns in it, and they let them go. Justice didnt seem to fit in last night.

Dude that blows, usually the cops ask to search your car and if you say no they just make up a reason to search, so either way you would have been f*cked. Next time dont carry around the chronic and a gun in your car!

There were no guns in my car.


And being on a bike has not helped me in the past. I got stoped this summer by two cop cars under some bogus charge of not having lights on my bike. (i was on the bike path) I didnt have anything on me, but they ran my ID, searched me and then tried to convice me that i stole my downhill bike.

As much as I think you are a moron for having a pipe and dope in your vehicle (honestly, are you borderline retarded?), you probably have a pretty good case for illegal search. Unless of course something suspicious was in plain view. Ie: they can make anything up here and you are screwed. They will probably just say they smelled the dope on you, that is perfectly valid.

Enjoy!

Yep. Tell your ol' man to break out the checkbook and spend a wad of money on a good lawyer. It'll probably be worth it in the long run. :cheers:

didnt he mentioned he had a scale?
i´d think that´s the worse liability in there (combined with the fact there was some weed). how much did you really have in therE?

Wait, it's illegal to have a paintball gun in your car?
no, the cops thought he was having paintball gun fights with another CAR while DRIVING. That's reckless driving and really, if it's not witnessed, then the cops shouldn't assume it. Damn profiling :D

Bummer on the arrest.
Never carry your goods in the car, carry on your person and let 'em search the car....and find nothing.
NEVER carry a scale unless you absolutely have to. That is gonna make your gram of weed, look like you were distributing, bad news.
Be courteous even if the cop is an ass (most are), it makes all the difference.
Get a lawyer now, because you'll need it.

form what you are saying , it sure appears the police didn't have probable cause. On the other hand they might have a tip ot information you aren't privy to.....yet. In any case it's something to bring up with a lawyer, before you go to court or discuss the matter with any other person.

Anyways, i was hoping to find out how much this is going to cost me, but the people on this forum are more concerned with putting me down than offering advice. Yes, i ****ed up, no ****. That doesnt mean that you morons have any right to comment on this like your **** dont stink.

If this helps, im under 18 and this is my first real criminal offense.

Dude - it's gonna cost a $hitload of money. Consider it money well spent.

Good luck on avoiding the clink.

That "illegal search" thing is bs, you watch too much Law and Order. In real life, cops will search you for whatever reason they see fit. They'll write the report to include things you or they did not say. Now we're not talking about OJ here, this is for your everyday punk kid who did in fact have something illegal in their car.

How many innocent people pull the "illegal search" line? I'm not saying it's right, but when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs...guess who wins? i'll give you a hint ...he's wearing a uniform.

That said, lawyers cost a lot and suck because they may or may not know the local loopholes that get you 40 hours of community service. It will cost a few grand, the charge will be "posession of a small amount" and it's not that serious. Just show up to court looking respectable and you'll be fine.

Now is the time to go up to your mom and thank her profusely for the fact that she had procreative sex with a white man 9 months before you were born, btw...

Get thee to a lawyer...one better than Lionel Hutz.

So your friend has a legal paintpall gun and you have illegal drugs and you say that justice didn't fit.

Sorry man – if you get caught with drugs I have no sympathy for you.

Are you guys stoned?

A. he had no gun, paint or otherwise.
2. totally unwarranted search.
#. weed should be legal... but not for minorities or minors.
he said he had a "piece" - I thought that meant a gun. I have no patience for or tollerance of drugs.
