You can try the NORML site/Colorado legal issues area and see if there are attorneys who might advertise there to help the legally downtrodden. Legal clinics at law schools will sometimes help with this sort of thing if you live near a law school. Your best bet, though, is to simply chalk this up to a learning experience and pay the fine.

Cops are wily and tricky, especially when people are taken by surprise and don't know their rights. They probably said something like "Mind if we come in?" as they were doing so, but they caught you off guard and once they saw evidence, they could justify that search. Even if they didn't say a thing, they can still say they did and it'd be your word against theirs.

Watch this video. Watch it three times, if you need to. Have your friends and relatives do the same thing.

Above all, be aware that you may have worse things than losing your bong and getting a ticket to be worried about. Undercover cops who visited on a supposed parking violation were watching your house or you or your brother for some much more drug- or crime-related reason. Don't know how much possession or distribution or cultivation you or he or any other close associates might be involved with, but that's likely what they're sniffing around for. You're going to want to be extra careful from now on.

Good luck!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Busted for first time... I'm so pissed off at the cops right now. My bro came over and brought some drinks and some purp dank... it was lovely. Then, we see some people walking up to our door which were undercover cops. They said the car outside was parked too far from the curb. The cop straight up just walked in my house without asking (hopefully i can fight this in court) and saw my brand new $62 2-foot bong. They then searched the house and rounded up my other bong, hookah, and greens. They just gave me a ticket Rating: 5
