11 bags of drugs found in car

POLICE who stopped a disqualified driver found 11 bags of cannabis hidden in his car.
Blackburn magistrates heard that Atif Afzal admitted buying the cannabis to share with his friends that night.
And his admission landed him before the court charged with possession with intent to supply.
Afzal, 25, of Woodfold Place, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply, simple possession of cannabis, driving while disqualified and without insurance and obstructing a police officer by giving false details. He was made subject to community supervision for 12 months, ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, banned from driving for 18 months and ordered to pay £60 costs.
Andrew Robinson, prosecuting, said that as well as the 11 bags of cannabis the police also found £400 cash. When they searched his house they found a single bag as well as weighing scales and a cannabis crusher.
When interviewed Afzal said he had purchased the cannabis for £80 and intended to share it with his friends that night. He said it was a regular thing with him and his friends and they would take it in turns to buy the cannabis.
"No money would change hands between them," he added.
Basharat Ditta, defending, said it was not a case of commercial supply of drugs.
"If he hadn't told the police about the arrangement he and his friends had he would probably only have been charged with straight possession," said Mr Ditta. "He was very candid with the police."

What assholes. An example of why you should keep your mouth shut until you can speak with a lawyer.
Remember the golden phrase: "Officer am I being arrested or fined?" Repeat until all cops leave your vicinity, or arrest you.

Yeah I love when cops say things like "Well if you have just a small amount of Marijuana, its no big deal!!!" Then you go to jail when you could have just driven home and smoked! Bastards!

haha seriously.
i was expecting weed, coke, heroin, pills...
poor guy probably talked his way into more trouble because he was scared to death.
poor Atif Afzal was probably afraid of being labled a terrorist.
