Re: Task Force Took Some of My Dope
wow, they should have different people answering this. it's not like i was going to re-open my case and trust me, they weren't giving me a break. they've done this to other people i've spoke to. i wasn't going to take it to court, just wanted to show my arrest papers and court summary of how it was different. they weren't worried about us distributing, well i can't say "us", i mean me. all they wanted was someone to snitch and i didn't.
they question asked was if i SHOULD complain so MAYBE they can get piss tested and HOPEFULLY fired and MAYBE put some non-crooked cops on the force (almost all our cops in town are crooked). maybe one of you could give me a non-smartass answer to this question :) thanks
and aren't you all the ones who are supposed to know the law? you can't put two different people's charges together to make a felony. MY 8 grams is a misdemeanor. my brother's could of been a felony but it wasn't since they took weed and dropped the pill charge.
and i know this is irrelevant, but i just want to say that Maryland court system is messed up. i have 7 other felonies and is still on unsupervised probation, and the judge only saw one of my 2nd degree assault charges!! crazy
Re: Task Force Took Some of My Dope
Okay..non-smart response. You may file a complaint if you choose. If, as you claim, all the cops are dirty then nothing will be done about it. As has been said by multiple people, their response will be that they were giving you a break. You will not be able to prove otherwise. If you are really that concerned about it, you can try filing a complaint with the state police or attorney general. Absent evidence of serious wrongdoing, both are liable to accept the "we gave her a break and destroyed it" explanation of events. In all likelihood, the additional drugs were either destroyed or used for counter-drug operations. It is not uncommon for drug users/dealers to allege that officers stole some of their drugs and it turns out to be a false allegation more often than not.
If both people live in the same home it is possible, although not very likely, that a prosecutor could have charged both of you with all the drugs found. Especially if they could establish you both were aware of the other person's stash and/or had ever had access to it. Whether it would have ended in a conviction, no one can say. A good lawyer would probably get it taken care of if you had enough money.
Re: Task Force Took Some of My Dope
Sometimes when drugs are seized they're in multiple bags or containers, and the police only test some (not all) of the drugs. When that occurs, they proceed with charges based upon what they tested and confirmed to be controlled substances. When the charge will be the same, one way or the other, they may simply want to avoid the cost and potential delays of additional testing.
Re: Task Force Took Some of My Dope
well, thank you. that was better. i guess there is nothing i can do. but mark my words, they will be caught one day!!
