Popopuffer, youre a cop.... Interesting to find you in a forum like this. Popopuffer is not completly correct. Another reason to never trust a cop. I am a student of the law. ACOD- Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal is a legal device which allows the case to be suspended for 6 months to a year. Charges are automatically dimissed at the end of that time if the defendent is not rearrested in the interim. Okay, popopuffer didnt tell you the whole truth, that if you get arrested for ANYTHING within that year youre charges will no longer be suspended. That's why cops dont represent people in the court of law.
kyskunk3 Reviewed by kyskunk3 on . Busted in NYC - What does an ACD entail? Hello, I'm new to this forum, but I was wondering if you guys could give me some imput on my situation. A few months ago, I was busted for possession of marijuana in New York City along with my friend, because we were smoking in plain view, with a piece, no less (stupid, I know). We lucked out, as the cops who busted us only charged us with possession of pot, not paraphenilia. Anyway, I just went to court a few days ago, and recieved an ACD, or acquittal in contemplation of dismissal. Rating: 5
