He stopped us and proceeded to ask us if we have any drugs in our car, we lied and said no, then he searched and found about a gram and a half. We talked and talked, then said if i dont wanna be charged, i gotta tell him the address of the guy i buy from. I dont wanna be a snitch, cuz not only is he my dealer, but we are good friends. Cop told me i got one week to tell him my dealer's address or he will call my parents. If i decide not to tell him, after a week can i still be charged for possesion of marijuana? He told me if i do get charged, i'll be going to juvie. Anyone can tell me what juvie is like? What you guys think i should do??

THANKS!

Whenever I'm in this situation I just say "Black guy in a Honda Accord who chills at McDonalds". So you can either do that or give the name of some tool you don't like. Never rat out your friend though.

I dont know about many other states but from what I learned and hear, In wisconsin If a cop wants to search your vehical when he pulls you over he isnt going to need probable cause. When It all comes down to it probable cause can be the officer saying he smelt something and then search. Its his word against yours fighting in court and guess what you were busted when he searched you with possession so you are guilty in the courts eyes. Ive been with friends and we were not high and a cop pulled us over for a broken light. Nothing insight, No smell, and no one has records. The fuckin pigs pulled us out not telling us why and 'decided' to search the car finding 1 GRAM on the floor. I forgot to add I hate fuckin pigs. Donut eating porky the pig white and blue Ill pull a gun on you I got lil sirens to play with cause Im a fuckn super hero saving the comunity and when I go home at night I smoke highschoolers weed I confensated and so I eat more donuts 10-4 I cant fit out my driver side door My canine unit is looking at my chunk like its lunch.

thats abuse of power and unreasonable search and seizure. also he cannot call ur house a week after. u have to be charged for the crime on the spot since in a week there will be know certified evidence that it was even your weed that he took.

bottom line is he was just trying to scare u. and next time a cop wants to search you shit just politely say "I'm sorry officer, but I don't consent to any searches"

Ratting your FRIEND out is not cool.

Don't be a fucking jerk. That is all.

SNITCHES GET STITCHES.

If you are pulled over by a cop, you can deny them the right to search in your car however they will get a warrent to search your car very quickly. Cops are very tricky like that. If you don't rat out your dealer, that worst that you're looking at is maybe 6 months or so of probation and some fines. If you were caught with a little over a gram it's simply a misdemeanor. Nothing major's going to happen. Unless you have a huge record or something. It's not that bad. Same thing happened to me and a friend of mine. Cop pulled us over for swerving, asked us if we had any drugs, we said no, he searched and found a couple grams of dro, my buddy got 6 months probation and thats it. Also the charges were dropped from possession to use. So yeah, you're good as gold. There is NO chance of juvie. Believe me.

Cops can search and sieze any car they want....I know beacuse it happened to my best friend in the 80's. In Jersey. Stripped that shit down completely. Maybe the law is different elses where but I doubt it.

And by the way why did you make eye contact, than go faster when he was behind you. You should have just played it cool, been there done that. If that fuck thinks you got something, they can search....

And definetely don't rat on your friend. You gotta deal with it, but that shit sounds strange to. What can do a week later?

If anything, say you bought it from the city, you went down to the Berry Farms and bought it from some black guy. I doubt it'll help change their minds if they're going to charge you or not, but at least it's a plausable explanation without snitching. Don't listen to the police, the courts decide your fate. I doubt you are going to juvy as long as you keep your nose clean.

yeah man, I'm from VA too, and it sucks. My friend got raped for having marijuana RESIDUE in a small plastic baggie, along with a couple tiny pieces of weed, along with some paint cans and a piece.

as far as I know, the police have the right to search you or your belongings on a whim, as well as pull you over, if they can prove suspicion of mischief, which is nearly impossible to NOT prove, really. He can see you sweat after a two hour run and search you for suspicion of mischief, which I think is so fucked up it's not even funny, but that's what I heard from a cop I know. Maybe he's wrong, and I hope so, and maybe that's just chesterfield...
