WOW, dude got convicted for a non-offense crime...typical of wa. prosecutors...charge for crimes which don't exist and the judge goes along with it...must be the federal drug court grant money which does this...greed!!!!!!!

[Mr. Tibbles has not challenged his conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia, and the charging instrument is not in the record. Therefore, although it appears that he may have been convicted of a nonoffense (there is no such offense [*24] under state statutes), the issue is not properly before the court and cannot be resolved on this record.] <<<<MADSON wrote this in dissent.

He had less than 40 grams and glass pipes in a bag under the passenger seat..

It is not a public offense to have pipes, it's a public offense to "use" them for/with drugs.

Tis what I am talking about...non-public offense because the statute don't say so...
