[gnrm23]

i wish i had listened to what my mama said
yeah i wish i'd listened to waht my mama said
then i wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed...

 :roll:

(& gotta talk to the lawyer now to find out what's next, oy oy oy...)

[laughingwillow]

What happened, mon? You get popped by the po-po?  Sorry to hear that, if so.

[gnrm23]

yeppers, tha's the ticket...

felony 5 for me (allegedly permitting drug abuse in my house)
felony 5 for daughter' BF (flushing the toilet)
felony 3 for daughter (a handful of roll & a digi-scale)

not very good at all, imho...

i read the biblical book of job whilst locked up overnight in the lake county (OH) pokey...
(& you think i've got it bad? that poor s.o.b. was fuxxored bigtime, yes?)

[dissident]

Take the plea, and hope for probation, if your lawyer suggests it...As noble as fighting the charges sounds, it just doesn't work very often for us common folk.   Hope my humble advice helps.  Anyway whats a felony 5 etc?  Here they call them DCB and A, D being the least, A is the highest felony.

<edited>
Ah never mind, I get it, 5th degree

[laughingwillow]

On the surface, your daughter's charge appears to be the only one with teeth. Especially if she's admitting the items in question were hers. The other charges should leave room for reasonable doubt. At least that's what I've learned from watching court tv. hehe

I hope it all works out OK, grnmy.

man i've been doing this since the 70s & no problems;
you kids can't get thru a couple years of "the scene" without running afoul of the authoritarians...
ya gotta learn to fly under their radar, eh?

jeez, if i just had a couple hundred thou on hand, i might make it thru this crap without going broke...

mebbe better talk to the banker as well as the lawyer...
(even  20 or 30 K might let me squeek by, i dunno...)

[JRL]

Sorry to hear you are a victim of persecution. Oh when will the madness end? Didn't you figure by the time people our age were in power the laws would change?

[Bushpig]

Man that sux badly, my thoughts to you all...damn it makes me mad.  Please tell me more on the specifics of the charges as I'm in the U.K and don't quite understand the terms....


felony 5 for me (allegedly permitting drug abuse in my house)
felony 5 for daughter' BF (flushing the toilet)
felony 3 for daughter (a handful of roll & a digi-scale)



What is the possible min/max sentancing ?

[gnrm23]

F5 is 6 mo --> 1 yr jail + $us 2,500
F3 is like 5 --> 10 yr + $us 25,000

or something like that, i dunno...
more $$$ than i've got...

"fuxxored" as they used to say...

[laughingwillow]

None of my bidness, but did they manage to get an undercover rat into the house or something to do a deal?

[gnrm23]

maybe...

or phone-tap, or scanner-monitoring cell-phones, or laser-reflection listening devices, and/or a complaining neighbor, or wtf???

(and _bragging_ (& exaggerating!) on myspace.com is also being udes as evidence...)

my buddy mike suggested to me that even the sub-G slackmeister BOB DOBBS knows that too much slack may not always be a good thing...

yowza...

[laughingwillow]

What happened on myspace?  

Complaining neighbor has to be toward the top of the list at this point, imo.

My heartfelt condolences to you bro.....  That said,,, Would you mind elaborating a bit about that myspace thing?  Specifically,  at this early in the proceeding, how would whoever told you they will be using that against you know such a thing?   Hell, not that the Man wouln't use any and everything to paint a sordid a pic as possible....  Damn I hate it when folks get jammed..  I really really hate it when its good folk such as yourself bro.....   In Spiritual Solidarity-------------  sal

[jikuhchagi]

Bummer dude. Hope you get a good lawyer. Maybe they didn't get a proper warrant or something...

[gnrm23]

well, the warrent was issued 4  may & they had 3 days to serve it, but didn't kick in the door until 8 may...
the head cop did say that this was "the most interesting house" they had ever busted --- i guess that is a compliment of sorts, heh...

should be a very ummm educational summer for all concerned...
