    Default Charged With Marijuana Trafficking

    My question involves criminal law for the state of:Pennsylvania. I had a search warrant for pot 3 years ago. Found no drugs accept for 6 extacy pills that my friend confessed to owning and not of my knowledge. 2 of my scales, a legal handgun and a bullet proof vest.

    My main question at this time is it finally took them 3 years to start this process which i have still have not gone to court yet but being so much time has passed, nothing as far as charges were even given to me by my knowledge.. Would 3 years of living a normal life be a positive thing after all this time of nothing or bc i now have a court date it means charges?

    I kept being told by numerous people that if it was bad i would of gone through any process along time ago!?

    You were sent a notice to appear in Court? If so, what else does the paperwork or notice say.

    At this time i have not received a letter. I was called by my lawyers secretary to inform me of the court date and she was going to mail me a letter. (Im assuming its to give me the same info that she told me) my file had no other paper work but i am waiting to hear from my lawyer soon hopefully. I was just curious at this time about the years involved with absolutely nothing happening.. My lawyer checked my background periodically and had no pending charges, no info from the detective or absolutely anything since the day of the search at my apt. This is literally 3 years and 15 days later and all i know at this point is just a court date which this will be the 1st of anything.

    the fact that you had a gun and a vest makes the odds of the prosecution just dropping the matter somewhat less than zero.

    Ok. That is of items that was taken aside from the 6 e pills n scales etc. What would change if they found messages on my phone? I.e. Old txt messages? Or in short.. What would a judge possibly tell me if all they had on everything was my phone record? Could unlawful use of a communication device be fatal to me? They came found nothing in my home or in possession but i know my phone of all things can be the culprite? Does that change anything? It probably will idk just asking.

    All they really need is a judge to sign off on a warrant to search your cell phone records.

    The scales...they speak for themselves.

    If you have a court date in criminal court, and you know it to be from the drug possession incident, you need to talk to your lawyer.

    They have probably had you under surveillance the entire time.

    Unless he's been running a significant drug operation over the past three years, the odds of that would be roughly zero percent.

    I would say that my "surveillance" started and ended within a year tops. Ik that much bc of what ik (too much to type) but thats just on "surveillance". As far as the court date.. Its a preliminary court date, not the actual criminal court date. I will definitely know my "charges" if i do or don't tomorrow from the message i received today. I will definitely post what happened when i find something hopefully tomorrow. I have the court date on feb 11th. Would my lawyer already have the charges known or would they be present to me the day of the preliminary if there are any? Im just so lost on the time it took for it to even start...!?

    P.s. If n lets say i was under "surveillance" for a year... Can they go back further and use any info before any "surveillance" started or only the time it started going fwd? Ik im asking allot and ik no1 here can change my course, just trying to wrap my head around all possibilities of any and everything that can happen. Sigh i guess ill hopefully find something out tomorrow... (Especially after 3 years of this)

    - - - Updated - - -

    *UpDate* I will not know anything until the 11th court date (preliminary) so im back in limbo for another 2 weeks *sigh*
