Well, there are some obvious details that, due to my legal troubles, I am unable to go into. However, i'm just sorta waiting now to see if they want to actually try to charge me with anything or not...
It's pretty typical of the DEA and Police, when they find grows, the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is simply "Smash and Grab" They take everything (product and money) and smash the equipment. It's almost as bad as the mafia shaking people down for protection money, except they don't WANT anything from you, other then to simply TAKE everything from you...
But I think now that they are coming to the conclusion that I TRULY WAS just growing to give my sick father some quality of life, they may be unsure if it's worth the time and money to prosecute.
I already have an AMAZING Criminal Defense Attorney. His dad was a supreme court judge, and his sister...or niece or...someone related to him, is a city councilwoman. Either way, he's a big name in my neck of the woods, and can easily get it reduced to a misdemeanor. Most likely having the intent charge dropped. But as it stands, they have me in limbo....Which sucks, but is still pleasing, since it means they are either too busy and too backed up to file right away, or they're reconsidering their position. Either way, it buys me time to research my legal position here.
Thanks for your support though man, I appreciate your advice. The part that makes it ACCIDENTAL, was that the warrant they had was for one set of things, which they found virtually none of. In fact, it can be said they found nothing they thought they would. But what they did coincidentally find, was my grow...They even brought in a drug dog who proceeded to find everything cannabis related, leading to it's confiscation.
Although, funny side note...the bowl I loaded not 5 minutes before being arrested, was left behind...fully loaded and all. They took EVERYTHING, but left my pipes, and such behind, and hit me with NO misdemeanors...
Typically (around here anyway) they will hit you with every charge possible...
Anyway, talk to you later man. Perhaps I should start a spam thread....since this isn't really a grow journal anymore...
