so yeah...i got arrested today

theres probably not much you can do for this, even a lawyer cant really help get you completely out. lawyers are only good for getting you less fucked in the ass.

trespassing IS illegal, and if they talk about it in court they may tell you somethin about columbine, i was in court once and they busted a kid for trespassing (although he was there to register for classes) and the judge talked about columbine

and searching your car, you have the right to say no, but yes they will get a warrant or police dogs, who then sniff ur car freak out and then they have probable cause

fuck the police.

also, if your weed or pipe are sitting out on the seats and are visible, thats probable cause to search your car.

if you can't raise the cash i suggest the public defender. i know that doesn't sound too promising, but they are there all the time. They know the judges, they want you in and out. If its your first time they might send you to a drug counciling service to see if you have a "problem" and then give you a drug test. I had to do it when i got caught. all in all the charges got reduced to some disturbing the peace thing... no criminal record, no community service, and no attorney fees. occassionally the system works.

actually cops pretty rarely call in the dogs. but a lot of school grounds require you to consent to search by parking in the lot. I saw that driving by the highschool nearby a wlil while ago. bigass sign on the fence.

You have no case to get rid of the marijuana and tresspassing charges. You went on to school during school at the wrong school, that is trespasssing. You then allowed a cop to legaly look through your car and found marijuana and a bong,

Hmmm You should have said no.It is your right, and your right is one thing that fucking nazi for the state can not take....yet.By saying no your increasing your chances of not getting caught.Maybe the warrant wouldnt get through, and he couldnt search it.Or if he leaves to get it or leaves you unnoticed book it the fuck out of there.And for the dogs.Every stoner should do this in there house or car.Lay down a thin layer of cayenne pepper somwhere in your car or house and it will throw off the dogs scent.There you go.

dude i get suspended for school for weed
and i didn't have shit on me
what a fucked up world :-(
this 4 foot tall snitch ratted on me

hey what state are you in as we also had testing all week? That really does suck man get a good laywer.

Your country needs a regime change by the sounds of it and your whole society needs help with its values. What a way for a (free?) nation to treat its citizens. :mad:

yeah, he could have said no to the cop, but the only thing you people aren't realizing is that when he says NO to the cop, that is enough for the cop to immediately get a search warrant...then he has to let the cop search him...so yes, saying NO basically is probable cause under suspicion...

if you can't get the money to get a lawyer, go to your local public defender's office...you have the right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, then one will be appointed to you...you'll have to pay a small application fee (depending on where you live)...those public defenders are good, trust me, i just had one get me out of an underage poss. of liquor charge (i am underage, 20, by the way) on a plea bargain...it's worth the time to do that....if nothing else they might work out a plea bargain with your arresting officer and he may lower or drop some charges...especially since it sounds like you cooperated very well with him...have you ever heard of PTI? Pre-Trial Intervention? You can go apply for that at your local solicitor's office...what that does is puts you through some Narcotics Anonymous, community service, all that...but the big thing is that it keeps the charge off your record, you never actually go to court...it's a one shot deal though, just don't screw up after you go through it once...

I've had simple possession before, it's not pretty, but I went through PTI and straightened it right out...then my dumb ass turned around and got underage poss. of liquor at winthrop college, then got busted with weed there (didn't go to jail though, campus security was nice)...then I just now, two years later, got a DUI, open container with the underage possession dropped...so yeah, you might think I'd know a thing or two about the law as far as drug and alcohol charges...try for the PTI, if not, just suffer the consequence dude....we all do at some point...

yeah, by trespassing, they could have had enough suspicion to think you had weapons or something like that...so they can pretty much do what they want if you're already in the wrong...
