Anybody ever catch a Marijuana possession charge?

[christian1923]

What happened?

I got caught in jersey :( these laws ain't really smoker friendly.

I tried talking to some lawyers but they're just after money.

[Draz]

How much you had on you

[Batz]

Are you black?

[MastaKilla]

could be looking at 10-15

[BigBoss]

No, but i've had friends who got arrested for cocaine and ecstasy back in the day.

First things first

1. Is this your first offence?
2. How much did you have on you?
3. How old are you?

[Batz]

No, but i've had friends who got arrested for cocaine and ecstasy back in the day.

:oldlol:


First thing first - Are you black?

[DeuceWallaces]

So you're upset you didn't get free consultation from a lawyer? If you have moderately stiff penalties in your area and half a brain, you'll pay a lawyer.

[christian1923]

How much you had on you
2 grams :coleman:

[christian1923]

I did get a consultation, he wanted me to pay him 1200 bucks just to get me conditional discharge. I don't think I need a lawyer to get that.

I'm in jersey

[christian1923]

Are you black?
Na but my friend who was in the passenger seat was.. It was kinda funny cause my car smelt like weed but he made my boy get out the car and searched him up and down first. " car smells like weed! Black kid get out of the car!"

YA
2 grams and a piece
22

[BigBoss]

YA

Question. Will you continue to carry a gun and smoke weed after this blows over?

[DeuceWallaces]

If you foresee yourself to have some sort of professional future it would behoove you to retain a lawyer.

[christian1923]

Not carry a gun but of course I'll still want to smoke weed sometimes. Just not in jersey, this state is still in the stone age with these laws

[Akrazotile]

For a first time weed charge at 22? :facepalm


Theyll reduce it no matter what. Just use the public defender, go up there and say youre sorry and theyll ACD you quick and easy.

The anxiety in this thread is almost as silly as greatgreggs birdhouse arson charge

[BasedTom]

No, and in all honesty, the idea of it sounds ridiculous.

I've never actually heard of someone [outside of the NFL] getting in trouble for weed. Maybe in middle school I was a little worried and the teachers would scare us into thinking twice...But that was it.

[christian1923]

Man I can't afford one. And I'm not asking my dad to help me on this one.

The program gets the charge off your record immediately but your record will still have a documented arrest. 6 months after the program the arrest will be expunged from my record.

What could a lawyer do for me?

[christian1923]

No, and in all honesty, the idea of it sounds ridiculous.

Imagine how ridiculous I felt when I was put in handcuffs and in a cop car just for having a little bit of weed. :coleman:

These cops were treating it like they busted one of scarfaces henchman. "Give me a name and Youll only get a j walking ticket"

[TylerOO]

Wait..you had a gun on you?

Considering you've never had a future to lose I understand your apathy for the situation, but he may want to take it more seriously.

He had a piece on him plus possession. You don't want some misdemeanor you'll have to report on job or education application. That being said dude has a gun, so maybe neither are really in his future and just go ahead and **** it.

The fuq are you talking about? :facepalm

[PistonsFan#21]

I think he meant piece as in pipe or some type of smoking device lol. Or else this thread wouldnt be about marijuana possession charge

[TylerOO]

You are right.

Someone asked if he would continue to carry a gun and he just replied no. I got confused.

[Batz]

Na but my friend who was in the passenger seat was.. It was kinda funny cause my car smelt like weed but he made my boy get out the car and searched him up and down first. " car smells like weed! Black kid get out of the car!"
You'll be fine. Get a lawyer if you can though.

[DeuceWallaces]

The fuq are you talking about? :facepalm

Read the thread.

But he may have meant paraphernalia, despite how he answered the gun question. Either way you don't want a misdemeanor on your record.

[Jailblazers7]

My brother has had like 4 and they've all gotten reduced. One of them got him DUI which ****ed him but he didn't lose his job. He's an established and talented auto tech tho so he already had leverage in that regard. Auto mechanics is a lot more relaxed about that stuff tho so so take it for what its worth. Sounds like your prob fine but I'd play it safe and get a lawyer if that's at all possible.

[Akrazotile]

Theres nothing a lawyers gonna do, theres no witnesses involved, no cases to cite for precedent, its a simple two gram weed charge on a first offender. Theyre not gonna give him a misdemeanor because then he'd take it to trial and itd waste everyones time. Theyll offer an ACD and thats that, they get stacks of these cases everyday and it always ends the same way. Municipal court is not looking to spend two weeks trying a 20 year old for two grams of pot.

IF for some weird reason they dont offer that to you, then go get a lawyer. You can always retain counsel at any point. Theres no reason to do it now when you almost surely wont need it.

[GimmeThat]

unless the area you live in truly has such large population as well as many more dangerous crime being committed


be aware of becoming another subject for the states study on addiction

[Graviton]

Man that sucks, in Cali me and my cousin got caught with weed, but the cops just crushed it under their foot and let us go.

But I doubt you gonna get anything for it, if you go to court the judge will just dismiss the case, they don't have time to waste on pointless shit like that.

[ace23]

Lmao

Why were you pulled over in the first place?

[bdreason]

Anything under an ounce is like a $100 fine in California. :oldlol:

[Draz]

Two of my friends got caught smoking weed at forest Park in Queens. Undercover cops just riding their bikes. My friend said they handcuffed them and took their id's. Talked to them about what they were doing. That they loved smoking weed during college and shit. Gave them a summons and warned them it end different next time if they got caught again.

You'll be fine.

[Nanners]

i recently moved from a midwestern shit hole with insane marijuana laws to one of the west coast states where weed is legal.

looking forward to going shopping at the weed store, lol. :pimp:

[MJ(Mean John)]

Omg I'm dying R n at how many posters thought OP had a gun on him when he says " i had 2 grams and a piece"

LMAOO

I kept thinking where the f are they getting that he had a gun?
Then I see that op said he was 22.
I thought maybe posters thought he meant a .22.


Oh man. You guys are hilarious

[christian1923]

Lmao

Why were you pulled over in the first place?
Because I had air freshner hanging on the rear view mirror

[Dresta]

Got the single 'street caution' you're allowed (without it going on your record) in London, though my friend who was with me had already had one, but lied, and when they ran it through he came back blank, which makes me think they must store these things on regional databases (his previous caution being in Hampshire).

But no, never been charged.

[DukeDelonte13]

get a lawyer you moron. Involve your dad. This is something that can and will effect you for the rest of your life if you don't know what you are doing.

a marijuana charge even a seemingly light one has a lot of consequences, in some cases license suspensions, a banning of financial aid, a banning from any sort of work in certain fields, etc.

You'd be surprised. There are certain fields that are not necessarily government that are exempt from expungement laws and can look at charges that you have had that you thought were sealed.

If you have any professional ambition don't f*ck around with this.

[DukeDelonte13]

Anything under an ounce is like a $100 fine in California. :oldlol:


anything under 100 grams is only a 150$ fine in Ohio, but there are a lot of hidden consequences to copping to a MJ charge.

Lol thanks. Most people here have nothing to lose or no professional career so don't understand how something simple like this can **** you up for 5-10 years.

[DonD13]

What happened?

I got caught in jersey :( these laws ain't really smoker friendly.

I tried talking to some lawyers but they're just after money.


i remember you saying you against legalizing it

hopefully you get 10 years

[christian1923]

They're gonna drop it to a 700$ ticket for disorderly conduct because I go to university.

They just want some money

[Levity]

How fvking awful is your reading comprehension if you though he had a gun


Christ

Fvkin dum dums

:lol

[DeuceWallaces]

Bunch of "alphas" who don't know that piece means a gun.

[Styles p]

i live in jersey and have friends who have been caught with small amounts, you're looking at fines and probably 6 months probation and some shit where you have to talk to others who have been caught kind of like that rehab scene in half baked.

[DukeDelonte13]

if you go to college you really better be careful. I really can't stress this enough, it is imperative that you ensure that this is not going to screw up your ability to continue your education. Most universities have legal services departments where lawyers will represent you for free.

Don't be a dumb ass.

[DeuceWallaces]

In the context it was extremely obvious he didn't mean a gun

Sorry dum dum

Guy makes a post worried because he got busted with 2 grams and a piece. Then asked if he still will carry a gun.

Obvious you're beta-supreme. Maybe he meant a piece of pie, huh?

LOL you street illiterate fakkit, the thread is about a weed charge and when asked what he had on him he said "2 grams and a piece". Which is obvious enough, but then someone said "wait you had a gun on you?" and he responded ":lol noooo"

And then you continue giving advice about how the gun relates to the situation and when I call you a retard youre like "read the thread dude" :lol :facepalm

And then when youre backed into your familiar corner you start spraying your standby "yeah well none of you guys have a future!!! youre not going anywhere!!!"

Youre a middle aged forest troll making 35k a year in government cheese and you get picked on by kids and called a girl on a daily basis. I think you oughtta be worried bout the PRESENT my dude. Nobody here would trade places with you.

Lol none of that is true. Someone asked him if he will continue to smoke weed and carry a gun. He said not the gun. He didn't say he didn't have one on him until much later.

All of you saying **** it it's a small fine are all a bunch of dead-beats i.e. drop out-wannabe actor-shoe salesmen-still supported by daddy-loser-nobodies.

I would have never gotten a federal research job with a misdemeanor possession charge on my record. My, and the lawyer-guy's point is that you have to be careful dependent upon your desired future. If you want to sell shoes at Macy's and leach off your parents, then yeah, it's not a big deal, you'll be fine.

You may not want my present or future, but at least I have one. Basketball forum troll is not a career.

[DeuceWallaces]

Hollywood acting doesn't discriminate against drug charge carriers. Starface has nothing to worry about.

He's good unless his dad starts issuing monthly drug tests to withhold his allowance.

[DeuceWallaces]

Starface doesn't live at home; he just gets an allowance from his daddy.

[Nanners]

I like how Mr face pointed out that deuce just goes to "you guys are bums I don't live with my parents"

And deuce responds with "you guys are bums I don't live with my parents"

You guys are alright

it is pretty funny that starface would make fun of deuce for doing forest research for a living while he is a 35 year old failure at life who lives off his parents generosity.

[SCdac]

couple times. once at 16 and another time 3 years ago (at 26). without going into details, it's bullshit I tell ya

Guilty and paid the fine.

What i shoulda done was this thing in california called deferred entry of judgment. Charges are dismissed after completing drug classes ordered by the court and keeping your nose clean for 2 years. It woulda cost me more to get a lawyer and pay for the drug classes and probation. Get a lawyer tho. You dont and you're just gonna be left hoping you get a good judge that looks out for your interest. That's not likely.

Spoke to a lawyer last night. He wants 1200 bucks just to get me on a program that cleans my record in 6 months if I stay out of trouble,

Went to court today. PD offered me that same deal. Or another deal that makes me prove I am a student in university and the charge will get dropped to a low disorderly conduct. But I gotta pay 700

The first program cost 1000

I'm a machinist and you don't think jobs are asking me about my criminal history? The times they don't they're checking to see if I'm a liar AND a pothead. I didn't say anything when it wasn't mentioned one time. They took back the job offer after running my history. Now I make sure to tell any potential employer about what's coming on a background check.

California has that DEJ program. Look it up. I found out about it when I researched getting my offense expunged. Couple lawyers I talked to was telling me that's what the pd shoulda got me into back then.

Dude. 10 years ago I had no idea I'd have the opportunity to work at places doing contract stuff for JPL. That was the job they offered and then took back the offer. Betting the OP doesnt have any good idea where he'll be in another 10 years either. Why close doors to save a thousand bucks? It seems like a lot of money right now...but it really isnt.

There are plenty of professions that won't care about a possession offense, but a lot still do. It's like a tattoo I regret these days and have to live with it. Even expunged it's still gonna be there.

Why do you think I gotta be BS'ing because I have different point of view?

whatever you think bud.

Here's the ultimate deal with minor MJ cases, the convictions can and will haunt you if you aren't careful with whats going on. As i've said before that fact that a conviction was expunged, or diverted can be meaningless depending on what field you are going into.

Expungement/sealing of record doesn't mean that the arrest and conviction just disappear, it just means that access into those records becomes a bit more restricted.

The big problem with MJ or any drug conviction is that it can f*ck up a student's financial aid, and potentially prohibit someone from working in certain fields like the medical industry or higher tier government positions. (even w/ a diversion/deferred judgement whatever you want to call it) A lot of these programs require an initial plea to the offense, and the proceedings are held in abeyance until the offender completes the program and the charge gets dropped. The fact that a plea gets entered is the damning fact. Sometimes it is better to plea to an amended charge than go through a drug program. It just depends on the individual.

the bottom line is that it is stupid as f*ck for somebody in college to just blindly resolve a drug matter. If he talked with the PD thats good, at least that's better than nothing. If you are set in your career and its not gonna hurt, you can justify just going in and getting it done.
