Friend bought off cop - whats gonna happen?

hi im england, since i cant find any weed, my friend got desperate and started asking around on the net, some guy said he was in the area, so he goes and trys to buy some off him but gets arrested.

UK isnt as strict with MJ as USA though, he might just be let off or given a fine,
What do you reckon is gonna happen to him?

 

...lol

 

i know its funny, hes a retard, but yeah what do you think the consequences would be>?

 

oh, when I read the title I thought this was going to be about your friend bribing a cop...

and I have no idea what your friend will get.

 

^thats what i thought. lol
I don't know anything about English law, but if weed laws are less strict there I'd guess just a fine...but I really have no idea.

 

depends lol, did he try to buy like 10kilos or 5grams

 

4 grams i think it was.

 

"your friend" is a dumbass

 

ya me to lol

 

wow if this is for real...

wow....

 

hehe thats some funny shit. what did he do? just go around asking on forums and chat rooms or what?

 

no wonder people think us pot smokers are stupid. geeze.

 

he bought 4 grams?

from some random guy off the internet without ever meeting him?

geez...

 

How old is he? Because the laws are against possession (thou this was obviously attempted possession or w/e) or supply. And if it was a small amount, (like it was), he'll get an official caution if he's over 18. Under 18 they'll rope in his parents and try and shame him then give him an official caution. It'll go down on his record for a few years tho I think.

 

this is illegal, its in the difference between us and uk laws, if it was a cop, they arent legally allowed to sell it to him, if they did, its illegal, and if he didnt, he didnt buy pot, so they cant do him on possestion

its like that to catch a predator thing which gets people over in the us, but here it wouldnt work as the models are 18, ya see?

 

damn that sucks...but i'm not english so i couldn't tell you!

 

He won't get a caution unless he's been caught shitloads of times before... Even then, when the Police offer you a caution you can refuse to sign it and then the Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether taking the case to court is in the public interest. If it's only a small amount then chances are the CPS won't bother prosecuting you and the case will be thrown out.

I'm not so aware of the law concerning under 18s but the same rule applies to the caution..

Is trying to buy actually a crime? I know selling someone a bag of oregano claiming it to be herb is but when you're asking then what crime would he be charged for? Attempted possession? That can't exist, surely?

 

why do cops bother with just a lil weed such a waste of time dont they have better things to do?

 

Cops smoke alot so they usually only have small amounts left

 

are they allowed to do that?
