What an adventure, Dan! Amazing. And appalling.

Definitely just get your recommendation and every sort of medical proof you have before you go to court so that'll be a no-brainer. As far as suing for the bong and lost weed, that's a long shot. Because, of course, it'd cost far more to file a plaintiff's action than the cost of what you lost or what you stand to recover, even if you had pro bono reprsentation. The best approach is to document, if you haven't already, what exactly was taken/confiscated. Also make a record of everything that was said and done during that interchange, listing witnesses' names, addresses and getting their actual corroborating statements in writing before you go into court. Warn your friends/party colleagues that their testimony could potentially be needed and explain why you're getting this all documented. Consult with your attorney on this if you have one, which I hope you do.

Then go into court and explain to the judge, ideally through your attorney, that you want the PD to make restitution for your lost medical weed and your equipment. That's your best chance of getting restitution--and also of officially and competently embarrassing those arrogant campus officers. They shouldn't have behaved in that fashion.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . I'm medical and I got a possession ticket!!! Alrighty guys, I need a little advice on this one, saturday night we had a party at our house, la policia came and gave us a noise violation, entered our house, and came into my room where they found one of my friends (non-medical) smoking a bong, as well as several other friends in the room, as well as me. I had probably .5g of Maui in it's original medical container just sitting next to me, wasn't even smoking, the officer saw my medicine and tried to pin me for sharing it with others Rating: 5
