A traffic stop that escalated quickly. Or i was setup.
I was on my way back from meeting a shroomery member. Although I think it was highly unlikely he set me up as he didnt know what i had. I was pulled over going through a small town about an hour from his place on my way back to mine.

Could easily happen just as a traffic stop. Always make sure your car is in proper running order, don't make ANY traffic violations, and just keep a low profile.

That's very strange to say the least. Please let us know who the member was.

How did the traffic stop "escalate quickly"? Are you under the impression that the police knew/suspected you were holding before you were even pulled over?

I was once busted for being stupid - not drugs, non-violent. Judge announced my charge, said it carried a 3-8 year sentence. My legs nearly gave out from under me.
With a public defender I managed to plea to about 6 months of house arrest. Upon completion my charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Since then, I've had it erased from my record.
I'm not trying to give you any false hope, here, as our situations are/were different. But I also got into a bunch of trouble as a kid. From all of my experience dealing with the law, I've noticed that in every case (of mine) I've gotten my charges reduced WITHOUT a good lawyer...because I'm poor af.
I'm not saying dont get a lawyer. I'm trying to say that if public defenders can be that useful for me, I can imagine a real deal lawyer would be way, way, way better.
Further, I have a couple of friends in prison. I've written back and forth to both of them and they've both told me its not as bad as people think it is. Although, I'm afraid I cant offer any consolidation for what I expect is your real fear - leaving your family hanging (please forgive me wording like that...). I once spent about a week in jail (for the 3-8 thing) and I never felt like I was in danger even once. The real pain was my regret...my family...that stuff...
I sincerely wish you the best, man. If worse comes to worse and you actually do some years, know there is another side. Theres a time you'll be out and there may be a TON of life for you to live.
Also, I may very well get flamed for this...but from a father to a father, if you have to roll on the guy you got your shit from to stay home with your kiddos, fucking do it. Fuck everyone but them. Fuck pride. Fuck honor. Fuck any code of the streets bullshit...

^this, it's practically the golden rule, if you're going to be doing something illegal then try your hardest to make sure you're only breaking one law at a time, like doing anything that can get you pulled over while also carrying drugs for example, make sure you're following the rules of the road to a T if you have drugs on you.

Friend of mine got caught with a lot more than you, he even had tattoos on his neck n shit, well he ended uo getting house arrest for a while and it didn't seem to affect him too much. He was even able to leave his house for work.
You'll hear plenty of scary numbers (years) thrown around by prosecutors and your lawyers but it always ends up being less harsh than they all suggest. Anyways, try not to feel like absolute shit up until you find out exactly what you're in for. I know that for most peolple, up until the trial is the worst time of your life, your mental status gets better after you find out your not that fucked.
Since you have kids to raise, the judge will probably be less harsh on you.

As far as the shroomery member i met up with, im not sure if releasing his name is a good idea since he might have nothing to do with it and i dont want to slander anybody. If anyone is really curious for safety reasons you can PM me.

I always keep my DL, registration and phone in plain view(front seat or ashtray by stick shift) while driving. I'm not reaching in my pocket or glovebox and rummaging around for ID during a traffic stop, especially these days.
I still don't trust cops, yesterday one was right on my ass as I was driving to my 7AM AA meeting, fuckin' pigs
Glad I wasn't some black dude, or a longhair, or some custy looking punk or a young inked up Latin dude. He'd have lit 'em up on me for sure
Get a good lawyer as stated, hopefully that other shroomerite wasn't involved in your situation. If he was I hope I never traded with him... . . .
