What state was this in?Raistin wrote:I've been in the middle of this shit before. Just 2 months I had gotten out of boot camp, I was arrested.
I had just baught a nice lil 300zx with the money I saved up, and started to take kick boxing at a local place. One night as I was comming back from class, I was pulled over for "running" a stop sign. Turns out the stop sign was the one I was STOPPED at,and the Cop was in the traffic that was flowing in front of me.
Well as he pulled me over, he asked for the normal stuff. So when I reached over to get it out of the glovebox,I had seen in the corner of my eye, the cop bending down. As I sat up he asked me
" Whats this" and pointed at my tire. I thought he was talking about my diffrent rims on the car.
Well telling him I had my tires stolen, he said no thats not what I'm talking about. I lean out of the window and he bends over and puts his hand BEHIND my front driverside tire, and pulled out a "8ball",and said "This".
He told me he watched me throw it out the window as he had pulled me over " at a well lighted 7-11 store with 20 people outside" and he wanted to watch me to see if I might have a weapon on hand.
Of course I was pretty confused as to what the fuck was going on seeing as I didnt throw shit out the window, muchless cocaine. So He asked to search my car, I only allowed him to if he had his superviser there. So they placed me in hand cuffs while I watch them find nothing in my car.
So of course I go to jail. Spend 3,000 dollars on bail, 500 to get my car out of being impounded, Lose 3 days of work and look for a lawyar that I could affored the first week Im out. Seeing how I just got in to a new job,and had no money saved up but 2 grand to move out. I was shit out of luck.
I ended up getting a Public attorney. He was in his first year of being in the "system" out of college. I was pretty scared shitless. I was facing 5 years in jail, and being a dishonorable discharge in the military.
After the judge tried to make a "example" out of me, and sending me back to jail for telling him I didnt want to plead no contest,and just recive 30 days service,and a 1,000 dollar fine and down to a misdemeanor. I sat in jail for 45 days, while I lost my job, had my orders revoked for being attached to a SF unit based out of North Florida, and every single benefit
I had in the guard removed. After finally going though the Florida supreme
court, I was able to leave jail on another 3,000 bail.
Well it came down to a 6 person trial. He cop decided to change his story 2-3 times on the stand, and gave one fucked up testimony. My Public Defender tore him up, and within 5 mins of the jurors going to the room to decide, they came out and said I was innoncent.
I will personaly attest that the court system is fucked up. The jail system is fucked up. And 70% of police officers are fucking bullshit. I can only hope one day, I can be in the posistion to track these vile peices of shit and have them thrown in jail.
Turns out the cop knew me. I had dated his ex girlfriend in highschool, and he was the jealous type. Needless to say, if I see him shot in the road somewhere, and Im the only one that can help him live. Ill piss in his bullet holes and walk away.
Anyone know a good lawyer for this type of thing that would be willing to go for a % of what I could get, and not payments in advance?
Sorry for the long story! I tend to believe a lot of these "mass arrests" are pure bullshit and the court system doesnt do its job, due to personal expereince.
I swear I am never leaving California.
