This is not me, it comes from another forum:
"Alittle back story. One of my uncles(here forth called uncle A) back in may got caught growing weed for personal use. He had some health issues and with no insurance, growing your own is the cheaper method. Police looking for another uncle decided to search Uncle A's house. He agrees. They find nothing. A few weeks later the police snuck up through the woods surrounding his house and decided to spy on my uncle. He smoked alittle to relieve pain and went to lay down. He smoked inside. After awhile in to woods the police decided to knock on the door. They pushed their way in and searched the house. Upon finding marijuana they arrested him and took him to jail. Over 2 hours later, yes 2 hours later, they finally got a warrent to search his house. Read that again. 2 hours after a search, they got the warrent that allowed that search, using stuff found in that search.
So fast forward to recently. The paper work from the first search that he allowed has disappeared. There is NO record from this search. My family was able to track down a cop that was there for the search and he agreed to testify that they searched throughly and found nothing. They got a suppression hearing pushed back to accomindate this cops schedule. Suppression hearing for the fact that they had no legal right to be on his property or search his house and alot of other things.
I told them, make the suppression hearing soon before his fellow officers get to him. Too late. They talked to his today and found out that he was gonna testify that he never got a good search and was kicked out of my uncles house too soon. But thats not the fucked up part.
The suppression hearing comes up(today) and right before the assistant DA comes to my uncle and says that if he pleads to growing pot and paraphernalia then he will get 1 years in county and 5 years probation. Lawyer says thats a good deal you should take it. So my uncle signs all the papers saying yeah Im guilty so that he can get the sentence promised to him. The DA talks to the arresting officer who has a hard on thinking this is gonna boost his career and comes back saying the deals off the table. So that brings us to the most fucked up part of them all. They are now using the papers he signed FOR THE DEAL to say that he signed a confession and is guilty and trying to get a minimum of 5 years. So the papers he only signed because of a promissed deal is now gonna fuck him royally. Oh and if you got pot, dont have a legally owned handgun in your house. They are trying to add 5 years just because he had handguns in a safe on the other side of his house.
What the hell is wrong with our justice system!!
I know, do the crime pay the time but the underhanded techniques being used by the DA and the PSP is bull shit and needs to fuckin stop. This useless war on drugs in gonna ruin a life that was NEVER in any trouble with the law before, just because he wanted alittle pot for his medical problems."
