I Just Got Rolled with a 1/2 oz & Still Have It

[Sheep In Shoes]

So you think that once you get to court, you can pull out your suave and debonair and hotshot talk yourself out of imprisonment?

<humongous laffter>

If you think you can jerk a judge around with patently bullshit answers that are the equivalent of saying "Prove it!" while giving him the finger, think again.

Judges are not stupid. They are cranky, conservative old men, infatuated with their own estimate of their abilities, with a jaundiced view of the rest of mankind, and drunk on the power they have exercised over others' (your) lives, true - but they aren't stupid.

And courts are not just about old men in fusty wigs, funny clothes, and oak paneling. Behind that veneer lies power, naked and raw, with very, very sharp teeth. Cross them and that power will be brought to bear very forcefully indeed.

If you find yourself in court you have already lost - bigtime! Even if found innocent it will be a sentence of bankruptcy with perhaps your marriage, your career, and your future in tatters. That's the upside.

So make sure you don't find yourself there. But, if you do, I suggest presenting a very submissive and very respectful demeanor. Unless, of course, you'd like to go out in a blaze of glory, a hero to us all, as you begin your long sentence

On elast post from a recent, running thread right here on S and L.

Let's call it the STFU post.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=3710800&postcount=43

"The other oft forgotten and under-appreciated fact is the bit about STFU. LEO asks questions 'cuz their trying to make a case...and most times you're the only way that they can hang you. They usually don't know shit until you fuck up and tell them, usually because you're scared or think that you're really smart and can talk your way out of shit. No matter what the beef, you can never go wrong with the shut the fuck up tactic, the other way...you're pretty much planning to fail.

If you still don't quite get it I would suggest a reverse tattoo across your forehead so that it's the first thing that you see in the mirror every morning...Shut The Fuck Up!

Got any more questions?

See your local prosecutor.

Most certainly although I fully suspect that I am trying to teach pigs to fly.

Have a good life.

In jail.

FYI - I have represented more, dumbassed stoners who thought they were cool, above being taught the law and felt they somehow knew more than the judges, police, prosecutors and their legal counsels than I can count. I give them the same opportunity to learn as you are being given now.

Sadly, their pride, arrogance and stupidity does them in.

Once you have opened your big, fat mouth and admitted to crimes, as the OP did, putting the legal genie back in the bottle is impossible.

Now it is time to watch the real pigs crash land.

But last week you were in real estate law...

Good for you.

Not all pigs are intent on making everyone's life miserable. Some actually agree/support medical/decriminalization. Would ya believe that?

a few of years ago,i had just rolled and lit a joint of res behind a cinema with a friend,when two police officers walked around the corner.
they had seen the joint,but i tried chuck the 1/4 of res out of view.it hit off the wall and landed about a meter away from me.
i live in the uk so i thought that was my clean record ruined.
while one officer walked over to me and took the joint from me,the other one,who had spied the res,walked over and casually stood on it and didnt say a word.
got a caution and they went on their merry way,with a wink from my new friend in blue!

The fonz.

<sigh>

He dealt to an inside straight and got surprisingly lucky. The jails are full of those who didn't.

he played his cards right.
when you do things right ITS NOT LUCK
he wasnt pulled over with an amount over his reccomendations allowances. its not like he had 3lbs & 5gs... and even then being smooth is better than trying to be gloria aldred.

when you get that defensive front going that you are pushing down everyones throat all you do is raise suspicion - the cops gonna want to know why youre so defensive, so then theyll start pushing. YOU DONT GIVE THEM A REASON TO PUSH BECAUSE THEY WILL.

being cool doesnt mean striking a conversation. it doesnt mean blurting out details. it means simply maintianing a respectful posture & tone, keeping eye contact, and politley answering only the questions/part of the question you have to. nothing more. you dont have to be a defensive dick....

i fully suspect your an asshole, but i am curious as to where your fukn attitude comes from. let me ask you this right off the bat...are you in california? if the answer is yes, we can sit here and argue about what an arrogant prick you are all day...its gonna be slow at work, and i dont have a lot to do today. but if you arent in cali, then its pointless because your vast experience in real estate law is not going to help anyone round here....though i suspect even if you are here in cali, your not much help other than being a laughable diversion from a boring day

 

[smokefrogg]

i had something very similar happen to me 2 years ago, i had just gotten my medical paperwork sorted out after being expired for 1 1/2 years, i was about 80 miles into california coming back from a job in arizona

the office said it reeked when he came to the window, i had burned one about 10 minutes prior, i never actually answered his question when he inquired, "it smells like you just smoked a joint, did you?" ...i said something like, "while driving? that's just crazy officer!" with a confused look on my face much like a dog does when he stares at you then cocks his head diagonally

i did get the speeding ticket though, in regards to the herb, he handed my recommendation back to me saying, "i'm not going to push the issue on this"

 

[poking smot]

Awesome, way to stay in control. I've heard that CHP has started to treat mmj patients with respect as long as we follow the rules too.

So, you are a Lawyer?? Hmmm, and you don't know the Law??

Sorry Sheep, but you are just arguing for the sake of arguing-- Under an Oz, you don't go to jail....period--

[Sheep In Shoes]

But last week you were in real estate law...

And I will be this week and the next several years, God willing. I also have interests and ownership responsibilities in real estate development, environmental science/permitting/law and the creation and support of military and intelligence agency software.

Feel free to test my expertise in any of these disciplines.

 

[KharmaGirl]

And feel free to not offer advice in what is not your specialty. It will only lead to confusion and possible misinformation
