I Got Busted Today (must read this!)

Yeah it's true. Today I got busted at school. The whole situation is totally bullshit. Today at school they were doing this big drug sweep. In the middle of 2nd period I got called out my my class by my administrator and she wouldn't tell me what was going on until I got to her office. When I got there she closed the door and told me to have a seat. There were about 4 wake co public school security officials there. They said that I had been identified as a student who might be in possession of illegal substances. (They had busted another student earlier that day and he had given out a bunch of names of people who he thought might smoke; my name was one of them so that's how all this shit started.) A security official tells me to take off my shoes and my jacket. She goes through all my stuff (pockets, bookbag, jacket, shoes, etc) and they don't find jack shit! Now they want to search my car out in the school parking lot (this is where it gets bad). When I get to the parking lot there are about 5 or 6 more security officials out by my car waiting for me. When we get out there they say that I have to let them search my car (no probable cause or search warrant; they did not say that I had a choice so I DID NOT consent to the search). They identified themselves as law enforcement at first (come to find out later they're just wake co security with no legal jurisdiction). They search my car and find a few roaches, my precious pipe, and a little bit of residue. Now my administrator is telling me that I'm in all this major trouble and that my cooporation will determine what my punishment would be. He wanted names of the major drug dealers in the school. I'm like "look, i'm not ratting anybody out. that's wrong." (even though someone did that shit to me; if/when I find out who they are they are in for the ass kicking of a lifetime; I'm talking about serious shit going down like putting their bitch ass in the motherfucking hospital.) After they were done searching the car they take me back to the office. Since I've never been in any trouble before they only gave me a 5 day suspension out of school, plus I got to go to ACE (drug counseling class which costs $400...damn, I could buy a lot of weed with $400.) The contraband was also turned over to the school resource officer, and he wrote me a citiation for 2 misdemeanors (possession of less than 1/2 oz and drug paraphenelia.) So I have to go to court too. For those of you who don't know, the supreeme court case, TLO vs NJ established the prescident that allows the schools to conduct searches w/o warrants or probable cause as long as they have "reasonable cause" (whatever the fuck that means) However, since the contraband was obtained w/o a warrant or probable cause, I think that there is a good chance I might be able to get the charge dismissed under the court's jurisdiction, since courts are different than school. Also one of my close friends got busted too. He was also identified as a student who might have drugs so they searched him and they did not find anything illegal. They did find a pill bottle that contained about 70 tripple C's. Because of that they suspended him for 5 days and are making him go to ACE as well. They suspended him for the possession of a fucking Over the Counter medication. To what end will this oppression go!!! So I say fuck the wake co public school system, fuck the school administration, fuck the police, fuck the school security and fuck the horse they all rode in on! Fight the power, I sure as hell will!

 

Today I found out that I'm elligible for the first offenders program. it works like this:

The North Carolina First Offender Program was set up in 1990 in order to provide structured alternative sentencing and substance abuse education for first-time misdemeanor drug and alcohol offenders. In theory the program does not allow for bias in sentencing since outcome is based on performance of the offender. Prior to the offender's court date, he/she must complete a 15-hour education program and not be convicted of any subsequent charges while enrolled. Those who finish the program are found not guilty. Those who do not complete the program are found guilty in District Court.
