cops, ruining live's one at a time (busted)

Today i got busted for speeding, paraphanelia, and possesion.

Also my car got impounded.

my parents came and picked me up but i have a court date in 2 months

The cops were trying to get me to be a narc like "if you help us we can help you". They said if i busted one person for them they would release me without a bond. And if i cooperated further they would drop all charges, but i heard from my dad cops don't have the power to do that. I remember telling them that they would probably backstab me and the cop was like "were not like that" and he raised his right hand up. What a fucking...

ill never forget the cops face when he found my weed, he looked like the happiest man on earth. I could feel his adrenaline rush. fucking pig.

 

oh and it was about a gram.

I owe my parents so much money , i hope this doesnt affect me becoming a citizen too bad (im a permanent resident been here for 10 years and im 17 years old)

 

FUCK the police. wow why dont they go get a meth lab or go catch the assholes raping children.

 

Meth labs blow up.
Child molesters are crazy.
Kids with weed don't put up a fight and can be bent.

It sounds like this happened because you were speeding with something illegal in the car. If you were doing 10 over, you are an idiot. If you gave the cop consent to search or your car smelled like weed, you're an idiot. If you hid your weed under your seat or something like that, you're an idiot.

 

i was on a street that the limit is 40 but as u go down it it turns into another street that the limit is 30

yesterday was the first day i ever drove down that street and i didnt realize the change

 

i had not smoked in it that day i didnt rly notice any smell. It must have smelt from the day before. That was stupid of me

 

Dude, you'll be fine. A bowl and a little weed = the process is the punishment. Especially since you are under 18. It will end up costing money, but you'll be fine. You'll have some bureaucratic hoops to jump through for the next few months...just the system being a pain in your ass. But...you'll be fine. And also find out what the status of criminal charges for juveniles is...are they sealed and once you're 18 it's a clean slate? A lot of employers do background checks (I used to work for a background check company) and if juvenile records are sealed then when they ask if you've ever been arrested you can answer no.

 

never smoke in your cars and never break 2 laws at once kids

 

i want to get it off my record =[

i dont know how im gna get the money for all of this. It sucks so much its throwing me into depression. i hate it

 

hey man theres no need to get depressed about it. if you had to be arrested, this is probably the best thing to be arrested for. and as someone said if its on your juvenile record it will be sealed when you're 18 and no one will be able to see it. have you stopped smoking because of this?

 

Ahhh, come on chill.

I got busted at 16. Drunk with pot and a pipe.
I'm guessing as long as you keep straight, at 18, when you're an "adult", everything will be wiped clean. Straight as an arrow, you law abiding citizen.


You'll be able to get busted all over again!

 

I got busted 6 months ago for car hoppin'. The cops tried to pull that we can help you shit with me too. Problem was I'd never been in trouble before and I almost trusted em. But in the end I spent roughly 4 months in jail and I have 15 months probation to do now. Any body have any idea what its like to sit in a lil cell 24/7 with nothing to stare at except old writing on the wall?

 

you shouldn't have been speeding.

that is all i have to say.

 

Whatever you do man, do NOT narc on anyone else. That will end up getting you more trouble than court will, not to mention, the cops are just there to bring you in, they have nothing to do with the court process, so they can't get you out of it like they say they can. Get a lawyer, get a court-appointed one if you can't afford it. And like everyone else says, it'll probably be erased once you're 18 anyway.

 

Trust me man ive been in your position, under 18 and over, and I felt like you did when i first got busted, but trust me pretty soon itll all be good. youll get a small punishment, like unsupervised probation which means no drug testing, you just cant get in trouble again. or normal probation and outpatient rehab with weekly drug testing for a few months. and if that happens just stop smoking and go to the weekly classes. its really not that big of a deal, i would actually advise you to start going to outpatient before your court date, the judges will LOVE that. get a decent lawyer too, theres always a chance the cops screwed up. they did with me once and i was found not guilty.

 

My friend had a similar incident but got busted with some beer instead. He was pulled for doing 12 over because the speed had just dropped 10mph but later it went back up. He didn't really have the beer hidden or anything and the officer noticed it while looking through the back window. He got a speeding ticket and an underage possession ticket. He fought the speeding ticket based on the fact that he was slowing down and was pulled over right as he entered the lower speed limit. It cost him some money for a lawyer but they decided to drop the ticket. He took all that paperwork to his underage possession court date and the judge decided to give him just a fine.

Find some technicalities but most importantly, get a lawyer. If you take this to court and do not kneel down before the prosecutor/judge, all kinds of shit can happen to get your case dismissed. The officer may not show up, evidence might get "misplaced" or was handled incorrectly, etc. Even if the case against you is strong, having a lawyer can help you bargain down.

And like Guitar said, outpatient rehab is great because the courts believe you have an "addiction" and if you show that you are being proactive to stop your addiction, they'll be less likely to punish you as long as you complete the program you are in. Outpatient classes are often a joke. I had to do one years ago and I thought it was kinda fun. All the kids in the class had gotten in trouble for drugs/alcohol at school and had to attend four sessions. They asked to bring a parent and 90% of the time they broke up the parents and the kids and let the kids just hang out and talk.

 

i was not read my miranda rights

i wasnt aware i was speeding the street "turns" into a 30 mph limit once u get past a certain point and i wasnt familiar with it

i have smoked since the incident but i dont want to stop and dont rly plan on it
i love weed

 

the thing that most gets to me is that this is all affecting my parents

thats what hurts the most, i let them down. I have so much guilt. I hate myself for what i did to them

but i hope that the stuff about my record getting cleared when i turn 18 is true even though im not a citizen just a permanent resident for now

 

oh i meant i havent smoked weed since
