swat raided my house

I'm 16 and i was recently charged with marijuana possession(F), sales within 1000 ft of a park(1st degree F), cultivation(F), and paraphernalia(F) in sarasota fl when a narcotics unit raided and searched my house. I didnt even know paraphernalia could be a felony but i guess since i had so much shit they bumped it up. I also already have burglary(F), criminal mischief(F), and petty theft(M) on my record, i'm still on probation for the petty theft. i went to court once and they gave me home detention 21 days instead of straight to DJJ because they didn't have enough time to get my case together or something. my next court date is january 20 and i was wondering if anyone who is familiar with the juvenile system in Florida could tell me what the possibilities are for when i go to court. i went to the compass program for an intake thing and im hoping they send me there for 6 months (its like a rehab place pretty much) but i heard the court could deny that and send me somewhere else. help anyone?

 

wow, this is not a fantastic way to start life. my suggestion is to take the penalties like an adult, do your time, then start getting your ducks in a row. clean up, grow up and move on. 16 and a felon is now way to go through life, but being so young can be a good thing because you can prove to the courts and peers that you can get yourself back together. good luck.

 

Considering this isn't your first time being to court you might be in for some big shit, paraphanelia isn't a felony and don't see how they'd charge it as that. You're a minor and this is hopefully your first drug offences, you may get a year in juvi or hell you may just get supervised probation till 18.

 

definitily some juvi no questions asked. getting a hsd or ged while in juvi can help for gettin out early if ur goin for a while

 

who tipped the popo off..?

 

your parents must be so proud...

 

lol

 

Juvie is a joke, but you're are going to juvie for sure

 

Plead insanity?

 

I bet he is locked up right nowww. Damn, that sucks.

 

another manufactured criminal created by the system.

 

Yeah, it's so strange. They call pot smokers criminals, then lock them up for awhile, while they're in the system they learn to be what a real criminal is and come out with the criminal mindstate. So sad.

 

Fuck them...

Run away and come to Canada...

 

No offense dude, but you failed at life.

If you haven't had said all the criminal mischief stuff you've done, I probably wouldnt say that. I'd probably say something like

dude that sucks. good luck with the court stuff dude. it stinks because harsh laws affect responsible smokers. the DEA has to bust people to get there money, it just sucks it was you.

 

Prisons are the universaties of crime. Keep people safe on the street.. by putting non violent cannabis users with rapists and murderors.. Good one =/

You know that if you're a college student, they'll take away your financial aid if you smoke weed but they won't if you rape someone. The world is fucked up. dumbass legislators have been drinking too much poison.

 

THAT IS FUCKED UP! Every rapist should be lined up and shot, gas chambers would work as well!

 

I don't understand how someone could be THAT much of an obstructionist. 16.

 

Dude my advice is straighten the fuck up.... you are almost an adult and if you continue this path, you will be fucked for life! and life is a long time.

 

Here here, Eh? lol
