    Hypothetically speaking, say some dude hid his stash in the woods one night. If a cop happened to stumble upon it, without any idea whose it is, would he be able to catch the guy through fingerprints or dna? Or does he need at least some sort of lead?I'm not very educated on how this stuff works so sorry if this isn't the most intelligent question to grace your mind lol

    lmao .. if a cop was in the woods and found a stash he would probably smoke it .. finger print searchs cost thousands.. so if the bud aint big enough then I wouldn't worry ... anything over an ounce or two would be suspicious anything over a pound would look like sales .. so then raises the question if the fingers that owned the prints on said stash had previously been fingerprinted .. if no then I wouldn't sweat it ... if yes then they need to prove you bought sold possess or otherwise committed a crime with it ... if its in the woods you can simply say you were in the woods seen it touched it and ran out of fear of the owners retaliation ... the key point here would be to not be near the stash .. and don't go back .. period

    I'd want to know where it was hidden so I could hypothetically smoke it.

    no weed is not a big enough deal unless you have some serious weight even then they would probably just watch the place but that wouldn't happen for some ones stash they would take it and maybe come back the next day or so even if it was like a pound

    You'll of had to of been charged of a crime before for them to have your finger prints and dna on their database, id highly doubt your local pig unit is gunna be out searching for you. Dont they have that gun crime in America to worry about?

    This definitely isn't a hypothetical question.
     
  7. #7 InkOnMyFanLeaves420, Jan 25, 2015
    i would hypothetically buy some more pot and hypothetically smoke it then hypothetically hide it in a better spot

    Lol thanks everyone. Sorry for kind of a trivial question, I was hypothetically under the influence when I asked this :D

    The cop already found it and has run the fingerprints and DNA. I'd suggest leaving town for awhile, man. It's tough to catch murderers so some guy who littered in the forest is way easier to deal with. A bust's a bust, right? Do you live in the same county as the alleged forest where said weed was dropped? If not, you may have an extra day or two before they track you down. I would suggest making the most of it!

    Cops find weed 24/7. They'll either dispose of it or take it home if they find it. Pot really isnt the big deal people think it is. I used to talk to some cops, they just laugh about weed busts

    Yes, the cop is going to fingerprint your 20 bag that you left in the woods. Run for your life and never look back. Get a fake ID. Move to Canada. RUN. :bongin:

    Technically, that's possession. Better to keep your mouth shut and let the lawyer handle it, can't deny something you admitted to.
     
    Not that I think they'd fingerprint a nickelbag in the woods, but if you ever did find yourself in a situation where you're being charged for something that small and minor then I would assume some kind of agenda is behind it. In which case keeping your mouth shut might mean the difference between having to accept a plea bargain and having your charges dismissed completely.

    as much as i agree, i still must say that imn not paying 1500 for an attorney to rep me on an ounce of weed... take it to city court and take the disorderly fine ... an attorney for that amount is like lexani rims on a chevy cavalier... its unnecessary .. I hardly doubt they would sweat an ounce.. i mean hey safe is better than sorry tho

    If the city wants to waste 50k on a jury trial that lasts a week and wastes the judges time .. let em ... the DA wouldnt touch it in ANY state... oh any i know this because i got caught with an ounc eof weed in Pa. Which si known for strict drug laws and ridiculous sentences... did you know that in pa if your get attacked in and alley and run onto someones property for help ... you just committed a burgalry because you didnt ask for permission, and you didnt phone the police for help immediately. By trespassing you commit a felony and any felony committed on someones property bring sht eburglary wrap. Punishable by up to 20 years in prison. along with the burglary jacket in pa. total amount aloud to be charge 63.75 years ... maximum punishment in pa for 3rd offense aggravated statitory rape.. 10 years... lol we got it all screwed up here.. either way .. no DA in pa or 90% of this country would touch a case where an ounce of weed not found on his person ..

    What if it's 3 years probation instead of a disorderly fine? I'd pay $1500 in a heartbeat.

    3 years for not getting caught with weed found not on you ? ... you must have asked for time .. i got caught with 28 individually bagged and only got 6mo prob . told em jury trial the second time and it got thrown out ..reveiw the facts.. pot is worth nothign to the police.. it doesnt even make a headline.. an average jury trial costs between 12k and 50k .. if you drag your feet you can cost them more.. by telling the Da you want a jury trial .. you are asking them to have 12 people convict you of weed not found on you ... 12 people in a country that is legalizing pot .. 12 people who hear a cop open his statement with i found a bag of weed in the woods... Do you really thign a DA would take that to jury , cost the state money , and lose? they will drop it down .. if they dont tak eit to trial .. under 28 g's is still a misdemeanor in 90% of the country . if you didnt commit any other crimes i wouldnt do shit ... but say .. HEY .. PICK 12

    Probation is only negative when you plan of fucking up in life. If you cant live to a standard thats acceptable by society then you obviously have an issue in life.. I did 13 months in county waiting to go to trial and 2 year supstate waiting for parole.. i got 4 and a half year sleft.. no tech no violations .. i see my po 4 times a year... i would dodge the record not the probation ... but even still ... pay 500 for the retainer, 500 for the appearance, 500 for the motions, then if they waive it downtown your lookign at a grand an appearance.. trial being another grand an appearnace. so thats 500 arraignment +500 Prelim + 500 formal arraignment+ 500 jurry selection+1000 opening jury trial+1000 for sentencing+ 1000 for appeal+1000 for motions .. REPEAT.. if you get a da looking to bang you for somethign you aint have .. possession is 9/10ths of the law... screw that .. PD are free.. and most attorneys need the pro bono .. so if you wanna pay for your attorney who plays golf with the da to swing it downtown because the judge wants to go to lunch be my guest... its all irrelevant .. it wasnt on you .. and you didint commit a crime leading up to the confiscation of the illegal drugs .. thus fingerprint which is RIDICULOUSLY expensive is never gunna happen...

    Anecdotal.
     
    If legal fees are a problem then you should probably keep your mouth shut when being questioned by cops... instead of admitting to handling drugs like you suggested.
     
    edit: not surprised at your legal expenses :smoke:

    Damn...Some of you guilty muthafreakers know a little too much about the criminal justice system to be comfortable around. I'm hiding my stash better after reading some of these posts.

    Cops don't care about weed enough to do all that
