can anyone tell me how this is legal??

Ok, If im in the wrong forum please let me know. I am completly bewildered by a situation a homie got himself into.

This is a overall 100% law obdiing citizen. smokes herb but complelty personal and never sells or anything.
He got a driving on no insurance ticket in the early december of last year. 200$ ticket and unpiad got a bench warrant.

Now he is a 24 YO living back at home after college. His Mom is very ANTI-pot. Very closed minded.

The first wierd event: The cops come to his house (moms house) to pick him up on the bench warrant, which is wierd because i always thought ticket bench warrants were just picked up if a name is ran and comes up.

He is senetences to 21 days for unpaid fines. After one week in local jail K9 cop pulled him out of population to inform him that a anonymous tip had led to a dog sniffing his car, Which had been parked at Moms house, undrivable for 6 weeks. The dog found 1 gram or so, and a few roaches.

Cop says he will be charged with marijuana possession. Which has yet to happen???

Now he was in jail from Feb 4th- Feb 12th. The serach of his Car happened on Feb 11th? While he was in jail.

The only thing that makes sense to me is his mother called in the "tip" and gave consent for the search of his car because it was located on her property. Which is alley parking.

How can he be charged with possesion when he was never actually caught possesing anything.?
Was the seach of his locked vehicle legal? again this car had been undriven for over 6weeks.

I think that if never admits to the possesion that is could be hard to prove. and i feel the the search was very sketchy to begin with. Ideas, opinions? help guys. thanks

Never admit to anything. Chain of evidence is non-existent

Sounds like he needs to get his own place and get off the tit.

KCl injection

if its in your property ..... Its your responsibility i think.

its only like banging your door in for a raid ..... They can raid your car ... Locked or unlocked with no permission

Sorry this is felony stupid, he may burn for this.

No insurance? Thats insane.

He's a rebel!

Not present at search? Apparently a warrant for an insurance charge? Seems suspicious. How does one lead to another?

He ignored paying a ticket. That elevated to the ticket to a bench warrant (ie bring his ass in). He ignored the break only one law at a time rule. I mean if you are a pot smoker why would you CREATE a cop come get me situation?

A bit like the classic domino effect of one thing leading to another and they all fall down.

How did they know to search the car for pot? It says he had never been done for it?

He was serving his unpaid fine time. 21 days I think. During his 8 th day locked up the search took place. Due to an anonymous tip. (Crazy mom). I'm thinking mom gave consent for the search. I feel bad cause he really got fuxked here. Just got a job blah blah bullshit.

But. If he never admited it ws his. Realistically how could they prove anything as long as he doesn't plea out?? Sketchy search. While locked up turns up a few js.

Yes. His mom basically called the cops and said she found it when she was cleaning out his car to prep for scraping.

And the police had to probable get probable cause. The te k9 walk around.

Which State are you in?

Michigan.

I feel sorry for you guys.

I get stopped driving by the police, fail the drugs test, get caught with weed and still decide to give them just the 15 g bag and not the 50g bag and even try to barter walking home if I can leave the bike and take the weed.

Barcelona, Spain.

ya wanna borrow 1800 for a lawyer? you'll get one or two dropped.

The police are just trying to get him to admit the drugs in his car are his

Sounds like a FU place if they go hurting down people for minor bench warrants

Oh BTW, was the care doors lock ?? The police love people to lock their car doors, this way its harder to say that, oh maybe somebody during the night just hop inside and toked up and they must have accidentally left some bud behind..now just cause the doors might be lock doesn't mean for sure that still can not happen, it ust makes it less believable

I would not talk with ANYBODY about it..not while in jail, the whole place is bugged...just keep your mouth shut and deal with the issue IF charges are in fact brought

I guess the only door that is Capable of kicking is the driver. All others do not latch. That's a good thought. Thanks skylor.

Parents who report their kids to the police thinking it'll help them have F'ed up their kids lives more than the reasons they were reporting probably would have.
One friend of mine was having a hard time with depression, threatening suicide, parents called the police for help, police attacked and tased my friend, then charged him with assault on an officer and resisting arrest. Because of previous charges, he was sentenced to 6 months in jail, but was not granted phsyc evals to help with his depression. Because of that phone call, he lost his girl, job, car and a good chunk of his savings..came out more depressed than he went it and tried to kill himself 3 days after getting out, mother still thinks she did the right thing.

I'm constantly telling my family to NEVER call the cops, unless it's your absolutely last option. I learned the hard way after calling for assistance and then having the situation turned around on me and being threatened with charges even though i called them and it was my property that had been damaged.
