id say busted (which includes being robbed) cause no matter what ur not getting ur plants back... good luck, wish u the best. court system is no fun.
I would be asking a lawyer that specializes in these cases these questions, and not a bunch of stoners from different jurisdictions.
*they left ur equipment
*complimented your chic
*gave you the "thumbs up"
that's not cop behavior that's thief behavior, and just because they are cops/LEO doesn't mean they aren't thieves matter of fact imo they are the greatest thieves the world has seen to date
yeah man, all those things equate to being robbed
No, that's typical asshole cop behavior. One of them probably made a snide comment to your chick about not being with a criminal "loser" and asked for her number while you got taken away. I stomped the shit out of this guy outside the club a few years back and that's what one of the cops tried to tell my girlfriend (now wife) as I was being locked up. "you should stop messing these losers you have to bail out." She responded with some choice words and a vivid description of how little money they made compared to me, how I would be bailing myself out with my atm/credit card and the type of broke ass broads they NEED to be talking to. Almost got arrested herself.
If you're in a non med state, then you got busted. You won't know if you got "robbed" until the discovery comes back and you can see exactly how much you got charged with possessing. If you had 10 pounds, and got charged with 5 then you got robbed. The fucked up thing, is that almost nobody is going to say, "fuck that I had 10 pounds not 5" and get a harsher sentence just to MAYBE get some cops in trouble. You'd have to PROVE you had 10 pounds at the time of seizure and that's generally not something a person will do unless they can prove it wasn't a legit bust, but a robbery. That's how they will rob you. Ounces that were just bought an hour before magically turn into 17 grams when the discovery comes and the amount is listed. Seen it happen all the time.....I fucking hate cops.
true dat, but it doesn't mean he won't get charged as well as robbed by them.
