ok so i got busted with a "usable amount" (crumbs of weed on the floor, that i didnt even know of, I didnt have anything on me but that in the car) and the cop charged me with a felony, and recently one of my friends got busted with a pound and a half at the cali/arizona border and got let off with a misdemeanor... so whats gonna happen with a felony OF CRUMBS????

Possession of a Usable amount of Marijuana (felony)
it probably wasnt even .25 g... this was in Arizona..

felony possession for a quarter of a gram? that's insane. i'd wait to see what kind of a deal the prosecutor is willing to give you. a felony conviction for simple possession of less than $5 worth of cannabis is absurd.

you could probably argue that it was not a usable amount and it was not in usable form as it was crumbs in the carpet.
if you got charged witha felony for it, but they did not collect and/or weigh it, i'd say you could get it dropped with a sensible judge.
they did collect it as evidence, right?

don't take any plea, I bet if the DA thinks your going to trial with it that might give you probation and take away the probation. Did the cop bag the pot? If not their fucked! What exactly is a usable amount...what's not? Did you give the cop permission to search your car? Did he see it when he was talking to you?

ya he collected it im pretty sure, i saw him go to his trunk to get a baggie and went to my car, when he came back from my car i didnt see anything in the bag (since there was so little) so i dunno...
he searched me because i was driving on a restricted licence to and from school and home... but he didnt believe me it was school related since it was midnight on a friday night... but i wasnt driving under the influence or anything... i had an internet test and my internet was down and i had to go to a friends house, so ill hopefully be able to get that dropped...

So in Arizona getting caught with less than 1 gram of pot is a felony???
That comes as a huge surprise to me.
