CAUGHT GROWING IN TEXAS! HELP!!!!

[seattlesmoke247]

GL dude, bullshit that your even in this position.. I hope it all works out :stoned:

[jkalb42]

i know this isnt related much, but on the search warrant they left it said they found and confiscated 2 false montana drivers licenses. my question is that if they truly found these in my bedroom, could i be charged, even if they werent being used or on myself?

[slavetopot]

One of those is, you cannot be searched without due cause. No due cause and search is an illegal search, illegally obtained evidence cannot be used.

What I am trying to say is to DENY EVERYTHING, this is where you act like you have no idea what is going on. You haven't been home and this handy man had keys and access, and now you are accused of growing plants. Just my personal advice, FIGHT IT AND DENY EVERYTHING. :hippy:

I think you can get a free lawyer or a cheap lawyer from NORML but dont take my word on that.

[the image reaper]

NORML doesn't supply lawyers, although it theoretically 'could' happen, if you had a landmark case of some significance ... you have free access to a very-busy, overworked, Court-appointed Public Defender, (who will likely do the same thing your $$$-lawyer will do, which is: 'cop a plea') ... :smokin:

maintenance can enter your dwelling if there is an "emergency". not saying this is the case, but it most leases it says as much. it's standard in a TAA (texas apartment association, or some such shit).

the police searched your unit without you there? if they did have a search warrant (signed by a judge), how it usually works is they list certain things that they are searching for. it always vague so it pretty much allows them to access all areas of your house/apt etc. (not always though). if it wasn't specific than anything they find can be used against you! so yes, you are screwed about the ids if they decided to charge you.

did you ever actually get arrested? you can't be charged with anything without being arrested. as far as the arrest warrant, you can usually check the status of one online (county dependent). if not, you can definitely call the sheriffs office and they will tell you if an active warrant is out.

don't say anything! ANYTHING! nothing. anything that you say WILL be used against you. they will use it to open up avenues that you didn't think about. so say NOTHING! get a lawyer. not a public pretender, er defender. not only are they not usually free (depends on your income, you can even get denied one) you end up paying for them through court costs. so get free world lawyer!!!

i think it was stated earlier somewhere in this thread, but cops can lie to you all they want, yet if you lie back you can get charged with it.

honestly, if this is your first charge, you are looking at probation. you'll be able to cop a plea (if you can't get it tossed on a technicality, hence the need for a lawyer). what did you say, 2x 1' plants and like 10 clones. it is based on weight, which obviously isn't much (although, i've heard in some places they use the wet weight and even the roots, etc.)

norml won't supply you a lawyer, what they will do is refer you to lawyers that are "down with the cause", if you will.

something is not quite right here!

we need all of the details!

good luck!

I was charged with 5 felonies with out being arrested. After almost 2 weeks of going to the narc room at the police station and being every subvirsive thing they could do to get me to narc anyone out in the whole country. They threatened to charge my family, hold my 13 year old son 6 months till 14 so they could charge him. Wanted me to ride down crack street and buy til I got out of it. They said I would be thier bitch. I don't think so. My lawyer kicked in and they shut up left me alone and charged me and I was never read my maranda right or any rights. End results were 1 year suspended , 2 years probation and fine that totaled over 20000 dollars. That was 1 pound dry and 4 pounds wet. Now I have posession with intent to deliver felony. Or should I say ex-felon. LOL


Hope they can find a loop hole for ya.

So my apartment was accessed by maintenance, and my grow was found. I've been evicted and turned over to the police, but I'm out of state right now. I'm trying to get a hold of the police there, some guy is calling me back soon. Am I f*cked? I had 2 foot tall plants, and maybe 10ish clones, all in veg. I myself am contacting the police, since they haven't tried to contact me yet. Does that help my situation at all? Any thoughts on what will happen to my dumb *ss? Please respond asap.

I just want to say thanks for everyone's info that helped me through the process. Also, I know I'm stupid, please do not restate the fact. Thanks.

did you get notice that maintenance was going to enter YOUR RESIDENTS.In Oregon they have to give a 24hr notice.If they don't illegal enter.And I wood start from there.
