legal question.
    #8039946 - 02/18/08 08:23 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

this is just hypothetical, not anything i really need to know in the immediate future, and im not sure if this would be the best forum to get an answer, but ill throw it out anyway and if any of the mods think i can get a better answer somewhere else then by all means move the thread.... :awesome:

anyway, me and my boss were arguing about this and i would like to know which would be worse.

1. get caught with an ounce of pot, accept responsibility and deal with everything that comes along with possesion?

2. run like hell and successfully disperse all of the pot, before walking back to the scene to undoubtedly be arrested for fleeing and evading, possibly destruction of evidence(if they can prove i had anything on me before i ran?)?


and also i would like to know, what would the possession charge be upgraded to if you had a scale of any sort within the same vicinity of the pot?

thanx in advance.

I think (if you can get away and dispose) that it would be better to do so then get caught with it. The thought "fucking prove it" comes to mind.

EDIT: Why would you walk back to the scene?

Im thinking which charge is worse here? It depends on where your at. Where I live id much rather be charged with evading then possession of an ounce.

Possession of an oz. can have a range of consequences, depending on the state in which you were caught in. If i remember correctly, Alaska's marijuana laws are so lenient that an oz. is usually dismissed or deemed a misdemeanor.

In some states an ounce is a felony. If the cannabis charge would be a felony I might bolt. I don't know if any charges you would get for successfully evading the police and destroying the cannabis before being caught are felonies, but if they were I wouldn't try it.

Play it safe and keep it just under an ounce.
If you get caught, agree to share it with them. :lol:

what is fleeing and evading? misdemeanor?

and im just assuming that the person bolting is in an area that he knows well and this person is very physically fit and has a good chance of outrunning and dispersing.

IF you could run far and fast enough to dispose of the *evidence*, why would you go back, why not just keep running?
A scale, depending on the cop and his/her attitude at the moment, could bring on an intent charge, which isn't good. All in all, the best move is to always not get caught.

well of course. anyone would avoid getting caught if possible.

this whole question came about because of a news story we heard on the radio, and i said something about that if i were in the persons shoes that i would have hauled ass and at least attempted to dispose of the pot before the cops saw what i had. instead of doing like the person in the news segment and just admitting to having pot on them before the cop even searched them.

my boss seemed to think that running would bring me more problems than just accepting the possession charges, but i disagree. i was just wondering the opinion of my fellow shroomerites. :shrug:

(and to answer the question of why go back, because this is assuming that they already have your identity due to license plate/car, or whatever. obviously if i was on foot and they had no idea who i was, i would not go back. this is only if they already knew my identity.)

If you get caught with over an ounce in FL you're fucked. I think they give distribution charges for just that (not just possession like you're saying), having a scale with you is a cherry on top of the whipped cream.

And the running thing and "dispersing of the pot", well....its just not going to happen and you know it :smirk:

"hypothetically"
