Busted!!!

Alright so i'm driving down the road and I get pulled over. Mr. Po noticed that my eyes were really red so I figured if i'm truthful and don't hide anything, he'll let me go or somthin. So after he found a glass piece in my pocket I told him I had smoked about 2 hours earlier. He searched my car and found nothing. I had to walk a straight line, stare at a pen being waved infront of my face, count backwards, say my ABC's, the whole 9. So I passed with flying colors and he still took me to jail for possesion of under an oz. of marijuana. (I had NO weed in the car or on me) all he has is my piece. He told me that if I don't take a blood test my liscense will automaticlly be suspended for a year. So I did. So... I was charged with a DUI, speeding 30 over in a construction zone, and under an oz. of marijuana. I havn't been to court yet and I plan on getting a lawyer. So far my plan is to get the weed charge droped since I had no weed. Also, on my ticket, it sayd I the DUI is for Alcohol for some reason. I didn't drink anything at all. Is there some way I could tell the judge to look at their blood test and see that there was no alcohol in my body and get that one droped too and just be stuck with a speeding ticket?? Anyone have any sugestions? I'm not good with the court system.

This is strange. Arrested for possesion when you didnt posses and anything. He could get you for parifielnia i assume. Also why did he search you. And when a cop searches you depending on what kind of pipe you had he shouldnt have taken it off you. They can only in that instance search for weapons so if he came across something that obviously isnt a weapon he cant do anything about. It looks like with a good enough lawyer you could get off, but that blood test could be a problem. But than again a good lawyer got o.j. off murder so maybe you can too.

Sorry to hear about that. Duuude... never tell a cop you have been smoking though. If you had said you didn't smoke there would be no DUI. That was a volutary DUI.

>Also, on my ticket, it sayd I the DUI is for Alcohol for some reason. With that little screw up, you might be able to get off. Do you have a lawyer, or is it state appointed?

You may want to deny that you ever said you had smoked... just say the cop assumed it. That would most likely get the DUI dropped since it says it is for alcohol.

I don't have a lawyer yet. I lost my job because of this and don't have the money to pay for a good one. It'll be state appointed.
Filesoup- "You may want to deny that you ever said you smoked...just say the cop assumed it." thanks for that idea man. That sounds like my best bet.
...and yes, i fucked up. i told the cop i had smoked. i was really stoned.

juess man he said he smoked two hour prior,i don't know if you smoke or not but dam do you have to be so hatful.lots of people drive around high and they don't cause accidents.weed and alcohol totaly different,you don't hear about some stoned dude running head on into another car killing familys and shit or falling asleep at the wheel.shit a can drive stoned off my ass i've been doing it for years.i don't think i drive any better or any worse i just drive normaly,your either a good driver or your not a good driver.i like to drink once in awhile but alcohol should be illegal not weed.
anyway i hope everything turns out good for you man.good luck!

"i told the cop i had smoked. i was really stoned."
he was driving around "really stoned".
you make think you drive better stoned. alot of people think they do.
i think it's bullshit, and you know what... it's not your call to make.
i might think that smoking crack or drinking a 5th makes me drive better, but that's not my call to make. you're not refraining from driving under the influence for your sake, but the sake of other drivers.
i think that i'm totally unimpaired and can drive fine while tripping. i don't, because it's not my call to make.
