A little background: about a month ago I was enjoying said cannabis at the apartments after a long day at work (smoking in public=stupid I know, don't do it all that often, and I'll try and stop the parenthesis lol). When I'm finishing the bowl. A car pulls up near behind me. Thinking it was a cop, I peeled out out of the apartment. Fashforward to last night: I hear a knock on the door at around 12:30. It's the cops... They tell me to go put my shoes on and step outside. Next thing you I'M IN HANDCUFFS. i ask the officers "What's the problem" They say "You tell me, where were you at 8 tonight." "Ummm, I ran a yellow?" that was a little later round 10. I was home at 8. "You remember about a month ago when you were at such and such apartments?" I was like, "No..." "Well, you appear to have STOLEN several items from apartments there." I was dumbfounded. I would never, ever do that. "What?" "Remember when you almost hit car backing out of you parking spot and quickly left?" It hit me, the bowl smoking after work about a month ago. When I peeled out quickly, it looked even more suspicious. I was honest about the weed and said "I was smoking some weed after work their sir" During this time, one cop thinks I'm already guilty "You look to lying, I've been a cop for 16 years." "Well, I'm a communication major" "Yeah?" "A lot of nervous sings are lying sings as well" I always get nervous when cops are around... Also, i said I never even left my car. He says I did. They ask to search my house and car for anything stolen. I tell them you're gonna find some paraphernalia and weed in my room and car. They put me in the back of a squad car for about 10 or 15 minutes. They come back saying they didn't find anything and can't really prove that I did it. But I was linked to it apparently?? So they book me on possession of weed and take me to the station. What bullshit! There, I stay in a holding cell for 15 FREAKING HOURS in a freezing holding cell wearing nothing but a jumpsuit and crocs. The food was terrible and a driveway is more comfortable. I arrive in court the next day . I'm only given the cannabis possession. But it was under further investigation for 24 more hours... or something like that. Around 3 and a half hours later, I get bailed out only for a possession misdemeanor. I was never charged with theft (at least not yet). It's 2 days since my first court hearing at the jail. I go back to court on the 24th. Though I was told to go back to the misdeamor court room. I dunno, this is really confusing and I don't wanna go to jail for a crime I obviously didn't commit. What bullshit...
I didn't steal anything. They didn't say. I just went to the apartments after and smoked a bowl. They said they have prints but they won't match mine.
sounds like theyre just trying to get you to take the fall for it man get a lawyer. if they do actualy have prints this should be thrown out pretty quickly. except for the weed charge of course
Moral of the story: never admit to anything. make them get a warrant. They most likely didn't have enough on you(since you didn't do it and didn't even get out of your car) to actually get a warrant. But you gave them something else instead. Even if for some reason they were able to get a warrant, the same thing would have happened anyway assuming you didnt get rid of it in the meantime.
I don't understand the whole part about "enjoying said cannabis at the apartments". Where I come from, "apartment" is a living space. Did this mean outside an apartment complex, inside an apartment building lobby, or somebody's apartment? Or is "apartment" another word for a parking lot or garage?
all i see in that block of text is hforgoiioewiovhjhfvjhvdsvdlsvdklvjsdlk and i'm sure anybody else who's high sees the same
Let's repeat it some more, apparently it isn't on the forums enough already. NEVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH. They could have just been wanting to fuck with you to bust you on at least something. "Look, I know this dumb ass kid smokes weed. Lets make him shit his pants thinking we're looking for stolent things, then we'll find what we want." Or, they could have just been mistaken. Either way, you knew you didn't steal anything. And they aren't going to arrest without evidence. And you knew you never were going to get into trouble for it, because YOU DIDNT DO IT. So why not just tell them to go away? More than likely, they wouldn't have even been back with a warrent. And if they did come back, which is highly unlikely for a few stolen things, you probably wouldn't have been charged with weed because it wouldn't have been listed on the warrent/probably didnt have weight on you/because of your inconvenience. NEVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH. Anyways, sorry to hear that. It sucks. =/
Update- The felonies have been dropped. Have to submit to a DNA test though. For the weed, I got a suspended probation. Just stay out of trouble for a year, and it's all good. No DT's or nothin'.
lol im blizzed and i had to read it like 3-4 times... haha but no need to wory your story checks out they have no evidence so chill
damn suspended probation...you got into trouble for no reason...thats complete horse shit that they took you in when you did not do what they said you did...this pisses me off and i am sorry to hear about this what a load of shit society is in the USA
