what can cops do?

[Pulse]

my friend got busted last night when he went to go get weed he had 2 ounces on him and about 1000 dollars for other people (650 of it was mine). they said that they were looking for a stalker and he fit the discribtion. they came up to him and just started seaching him. he also had a scale with him so that ment he had intent to sell or somehting. he was gone for so long that i called him and they ansewred his cell. (thank god i didn't say nothing about weed). he thinks they bugged his cell phone becuase they had the back of it off. he has or is oging to have like 1000 dollars in fines. rehab and someother shit. what i want to know is what is if any of this is illegal or what his best corse of action would be.

With all the new wire-tapping ans search and seizure laws since 9/11 there is virtually nothing illegal with what you described went down. It's pretty low what a police office can do these days in a situation like you layed out. Suspiscion is very vague interms of Universal Crime Reports that are filed when an arrest like this is made. I few twists with words can make anything legit on an officer's paperwork, and believe me this is tought in the Academies and during the 80 hours a year on in-service training regarding search and seizure. I'm speaking from 10 years of experience. I'm being honest when I say that we as regular citizens have NO RIGHTS when walking about in the public. And we only have a FEW RIGHTS in the sanctuary of our own homes. My beliefs of individual's rights and freedom always conflicted with the job I did, hence the reason I was called "soft" by my peers regardless of the fact that I was 235lbs of steroided muscle. The term "rights" is very vague and that's why they can fuck with us in court. We are all GUILTY until proven INNOCENT and that's a fact. Will live in an accusatory time.

whoa...an ex-cop? ya know i had a neighbor that was a cop, i think hes the one that rooted in me a dislike for authority...one time me and her daughter (i was like 7 or 8 and she was 6 or 7) were playing and i pushed her and she fell down and started to cry, and that dirty fucking pig called me over to his front yard and put me in handcuffs and then bitched me out...

but ive also met some very very cool cops so i guess it all evens out

this has nothing to do with this thread but oh well i like talking when im blitzed :thumbsup:

[MikeNice77]

That's the moral to the story of life: it all evens out in the end!!! I love it.

[Up In Smoke 420]

Possession
Possession with intent to Deliver
Depends on state laws on the severity of the charges based on amounts. He can kiss the $1000 away since he had 2 ounces and a scale. Hope you and your friends give him some slack on the cash....he has enough to deal with!

he was gone for so long that i called him and they ansewred his cell. (thank god i didn't say nothing about weed). he thinks they bugged his cell phone becuase they had the back of it off.

Cell phones and wireless home phones don't need a tap. They transmit in open air waves and the cops just have to sit down the block with a reciever. All legal! There was a case in Iowa where the dude took it to the Supreme Court and it was ruled as such. They were probably looking for either something stashed or more than likely the serial number of the phone to get past records.

he has or is oging to have like 1000 dollars in fines. rehab and someother shit. what i want to know is what is if any of this is illegal or what his best corse of action would be.

Best course of action? He should keep his mouth shut and take the penalty like a man! The only thing a "deal" will buy your buddy is a bad name!
Good luck to both of ya!!! :thumbsup:

he is taking it like a man and he promissed to repay me another question is do i need to be worried about the cops busting me too even if he says nothing or my cell being tapped into

Once when me and my friend were caught in a field smoking one cop came up behind us with a flashlight and told us to turn around. My friend tossed his pipe away which the cop saw and i flicked a joint away that he didnt see. He called for backup and this cop car came flying at us through the field and stopped in front of us. We were both cuffed and sat on the ground, when this cop started saying don't even try running cuz I can do a mile in x minutes. I wanted to roll my eyes, but instead got driven home cuffed because my friend took the heat for his ounce he had in his car. He was arrested, sux.

If he says nothing you shouldn't have any worries. NEVER talk ANY buisiness on a wireless phone whether it's in your house or a cell (GOLDEN RULE!)

Seriously though, you might want to cut him some slack on the cash. Between lawyer fees, fines, court costs, assessments....they're gonna make him bleed cash! Remember, it was a team effort in the score and when the team loses, everybody takes a hit. If he keeps his mouth shut and takes the crap from the courts....he took his hit.
It would just be a good gesture to a fellow stoner. Last thing he needs right now is "friends wondering" about their cash. Just my opinion.

Best of luck to both of ya!!!:thumbsup:

well, now hes being charged as an adult. how can they charge him as an adult if it happened 5 days before his 18th birthday and its his first offence

a similar thing happened to my friend recently. earlier in the night he took 3 pills of XTC then couple of hours later he took 2 hits of acid and went walking to the store, witha few buddies that were also rolling, luckily i was too fucked to walk with out rubbing my hands all over my silk soccer jersey so they wouldent let me go.

hehe anyways they were walking to the store and a cop pulled up and searched all of them, he said he could smell alcohol but they werent drinking!! my friend had a bowl on him and they arrested him, the cop totally killed his X but he started tripping bad while in the cop car they got him for paraphanelia on a complete bullshit search, nothing he could do about it, and he kept it cool while tripping luckily

but yea man cops these days are mean, and they really seem to pick on us candy kids, ive been told a vics inhaler and a pacifier is enough to be called paraphanelia for XTC or at least warrants a search but im not sure about that
