    Question Can You Be Released From Jail By Becoming An Informant

    two officers showed up at my house with no search warrant, wanting to know whats going on im not on probation or parole they came into my house i told them to get out with out a search warrant. they stayed in my house while i got dressed. we went outside and they proceded to tell me that some one snitched on me and that i could give them permission to search my room or that we could sit and wait for a warrant to search the whole house. i live with my parents so after all there threats and promises i gave them permission to search my room. they never read me my rights. we go into my room where they proceded to destroy my room and then they had me open my safe where they found a scale and as a guess there was about a gram of meth. right after they found that one of the officers pulls out a bag from my closet with as a guess there was about a 1/2 to 3/4 of an ounce of meth. i had never seen the bag before that and did not keep nany dope in my closet ever. so then they handcuff me and procede to tell me that i have a choice of A. getting booked and wait to see the judge or B. that if i were to snitch on one person that i no is robbing and stealing to my arresting officers and that i would be booked for poss of a controlled substance for sale and then i would have to talk to two narcotics officers and agree to snitch on two drug dealers and set them up on controlled buys.they informed me that after i had completed this the charge would be still on my record but i would get timed served as my punishment. i agreed to plan B. so i could get out. about 12 hrs after this all started i was released from the station. they gave me my property and there was no cash in it. im not sure how much cash there was probably 500 - 1000 dollars. i ask the bailif were was the money and she replied its held as evidence and that i could come back the next day to pick it up since i was being released so there is no evidence to be held. i was givin 3 cell phone numbers 2 for the arrestig officers and a pager number for the narcotics officer. so two days go by and sure enough the aresting officers are calling me hassling me for info. during this conversation the officer tells me that if someone pisses him off enough he would plant a bag of dope on them to make sure they went to jail.he tells me that he has a personal vendetta against meth users cause hi parents used it when he was a kid. i told him that it was gonna take me a week or so to get comfortable in the drug scene before i could start giving up names and so forth. is this legal and what are my rights

    These sound like things to ask your criminal defense attorney.

    Before you make ANY deal, it is a good idea to consult counsel.
