    Default Drug Paraphalia and Forced Buying and Selling

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: missouri

    My daughter is a single mother of 2 she had the police show up at her apt. and threaten her with taking her children to dsf if she did not allow them to search her house she allowed the search and they found a pot pipe NO DRUGS now they tell her she has to give them names of people she knows who smoke pot or do drugs and want her to sell and buy drugs with money they give her or they will charge her and take her kids. This is a small town and we have only 2 police officers and both were there. They took her pipe but did not charge her or even write her a ticket they said they will call her in a few days. does she have to do this and could this be entrapment.She don't want to lose her kids.

    The very first rule of criminal law is: do NOT take legal advice from police. The moment they asked to do the search, that's the moment she should have said "not until I speak to an attorney". Police are allowed to lie to people. They are allowed to use pressure. They certainly CAN call CPS, but it's up to CPS to determine if a child will be removed from the home, not police. Your daughter needs to be talking to an attorney IMMEDIATELY. AND, if she wants to be certain that she's NOT in danger of her children being removed, she needs to get off, and STAY off, of drugs.

    Did they have search warrant ? Did she have past criminal record with drugs.
    Pipe it self can be used for tobacco smoking unless drugs are involved it would be difficult to prove as drug paraphernalia.

    I Would consult criminal defence attorney if cops keep on threatening you without probable cause or without any warrant.

    Default Re: Police Threaning to Call DFS if Mother Doesn't Do a Controlled Drug Buy

    I know nothing about family law but I wonder if it wouldn't be prudent to somehow establish that Grandmother is prepared to take the child and avoid that hell called foster care.

    Don't overlook family advocacy organizations as well just realize they come in 2 flavors,

    Working FOR CPS
    Working AGAINST CPS
