Arrested tonight... story and possible help/info?

[pinkfloydian1]

I suppose I should explain the story.

We were driving down the road, no one was under the influance of anything. Alcohol, marijuana ... nothing. We got pulled over, passanger had all the cannabis under their seat. Cops pulled out the driver, passanger than me. Didn't Find anything on any one, asked the passanger where the marijuana was, passanger showed him. In the station the driver and I were supposedly both being charged with possesion too even though the passanger admitted that the driver and I had no clue about it being there and claimed responsibility on all illegal substances. Total pot amount: 9 grams. 1 Pipe with resin. New Jersey this took place.


any help?

What do you mean?

[birdgirl73]

PinkFloydian, if I may let me ask you a couple of questions. How old are you and the others? And have you spoken to an attorney yet?

[birdgirl73]

And has anyone been arraigned yet? I need to know that.

[birdgirl73]

Arraigned is where a judge reads you the charge and you enter a plea, by the way . . . . I'm trying to determine if you and the other non-possessing guy have yet been charged with anything?

[IanCurtisWishlist]

get a damned good attorney. chances are the police charged you both because they didn't know exactly WHO to charge--they figure it'll be settled in court, by the probation dept, or the D.A.

if he has confessed to the weed, and you said it wasn't yours... i'd say you have a very good chance of getting off the hook. not to give you false hope. but i'm sure the new jersey courts have bigger fish to fry.

Why were you pulled over in the first place?
Did you consent to a search?? If you weren't under the influence, no smell or anything, then how did they find the pot???

That's what I'm wondering. The police should have had no reason to search your car unless you litterally told them they had reason to. Knowing and proving are two different things thanks to the fourth ammendment, and can keep you very safe.

as long as your still have the friend that admitted that it was his, the judge wont charge you with anything.
