Jailed for possesion!

Over a year ago I was busted for possesion of cocaine. I wasn't arrested, I wasn't even ticketed. The officer told me I would recieve something in the mail within thirty days. It never came. I continued to check for warrants for almost a year until I was pulled over two weeks ago. I was simply ticketed and sent on my way. At that point I was certain I was in the clear. On Friday I was pulled over once again for speeding, 30 in a fucking 25. A warrant was issued TWO DAYS before, for a crime that happened over a year ago! Needless to say I was arrested and thrown in jail for the weekend and I am now awaiting court. Any ideas as to why this happened this way? I call bullshit.

 

Oh, and before anyone else says it...

I got PWNED!

 

your charges were pending.

they can release you and pend charges for up tp 7 years.

ya it sucks.

i got arrested for some charges and they relesased me . 18 months and still waiting but maybe 5 years down the road i will get charged.

it sucks

 

They want to turn a profit off the tax payers $ for your prision costs?

My guess, what a shitty situation we are stuck in, eh?

 

you are telling me a cop caught you with coke and let you go ? are you fucking around or what ? even geting caught with a $10 bag of coke is a class D possession felony. cops will not let you go on a felony charge. and what were the charges that the Judge read off to you what did the warrant say, when a warrant is issued it will have the charge on the warrent. This sounds like you got arrrested in some 3rd world country or something. Did you get a layer ? Bro its just hard for me to belive a cop caught you for a felony charge and said just go on your way with out telling you anything other then you will get a letter in the mail. I have never never heard of a cop letting someone go for a felony charge, Thats unreal if that is the case just tell you layer he will get the case thrown out of court in no time because the cop did not fellow the procedure he was sapose to on the arrest. and another thing when you were re arrested on the warrant were you bailed out or what, and did you not ask what the original charge was and what class of crime it fell under ?

 

Can't say, hombre. No advice other than the karma thing - be nice to your tormentors. It's very tempting to abuse them - won't make you points. Don't have to like them. Probably won't make you points, but won't make you enemies. Plea-bargain if you can, before you go to trial - unless the evidence is sketchy, or unless your family can afford a good lawyer.

Sounds like a shitty deal. Care to share which state you're from?

 

yes i was bailed out, the charges were felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. apparently they do it all the time, and since i pleaded the fifth from the get go, they sent the coke to the lab to get results before they nabbed me.

Believe it or not Shocbomb, it happened, and according to every professional I spoke with, it happens all the time and is totally legal procedure.

I got the best lawyer in the area and he got the cocaine charge totally dropped. Michigan has a program called 7411, which will give me 6 months probation and if I don't fuck that up my marijuana charge will be dropped as well. clean slate. not too bad of a deal if you ask me.

 

Shit that is a good Deal. Is this your first time getting caught ? Usally you can only get one ACD. A ACD is you have to not get arrested again for 6 months and the charges will be thrown out. like you said, If this is your first charge you should be good to go. I just never heard of a cop letting someone go on a Felony charge. Thats a first for me, I have been caught with coke 2 times in my life and dam I wish I lived in Michigan, New York is very hard on drugs sence the rockefeller laws were put in place. Buy the way how much Coke did you have on you when he found it ?

 

yeup first time. i had about a teen.

 

cops are lazy and take forever to file anything
