I read the article linked and in said that in most cases the agents ASKED FOR CONSENT after the dogs reacted. Even if one got searched without
consent, and a small amount of alleged contraband is found, there is a way to improve your chances of getting it all dropped.
Most people simply pay the fines and walk away disgusted with our governments perverted sense of ' justice' and the stormtroopers that bust people
for a seed...the article quotes a border patrol agent who says that even a seed gets written up. Imagine the time spent to bother someone over a
seed, for Gods sake. It should repulse even the most rabid right winger, just for the waste of time and money.
BUT, there IS a way!! The DA quoted says that almost a quarter of the cases are tossed because of the dubious legality of them...and this means a
chance to get it all dropped. Worth a try!!
Yopu do NOT plead guilty and pay a fine. You insist on a trial. You also take advantage of the new Supreme Court ruling that says you can confront
the lab chemist that certifies that the substance you were allegedly caught with is in fact the proscribed substance alleged.
Do you think that the Federal DA...or the local one for that matter, will pay to bring in not only the agent that wrote the ticket, but also the lab
technician that examined the sample? NO WAY !! They will drop that minor few grams of whatever so fast it will make your head spin.
If EVERYONE that was ticketed for such petty nonsense, such stupid and wasteful and ignorant conduct by the cops and DA's..if EVERYONE demanded a
trial, the DA's would scream at the top of their lungs for the agents to STOP this crap!!
If it COST THEM instead of US, it would all change. If all the people victimized by this outrage would stand firm and demand all rights and all
possible personnel to be subpoeaned and flown to Bumnut Arizona or wherever, fed, housed and transported...all over a few bits of plant material.
Only a demented drug warrior, with no shame and no conscience about believing lies and fantasies could possible believe that the ' justice' system
could withstand the huge surge in ' business' and still function in a sane fashion.
What are they going to do? Go to trial and spend thousands of dollars to get a minor pot conviction? Send another victimless, nonviolent'
offender' off to prisons that are aleady overcrowded to bursting with the same types? Insane!!
Insanity is the only explanation for this system. Using vast public dollars to support petty busts to make revenue. What a way to make a living:
Destroy the Constitution, abuse the public and make them hate cops, get a pat on the back for getting more meat for the grinder...for the lawyers and
judges and cops..to sustain this legal thievery and gouging is sickening.
If Tony Soprano shakes you down, thats a crime. But let him wear a badge and it all OK. What a sick system. Avoid all areas where these scum
operate and do not carry contraband; if you must vacuum seal it and lock it in a briefcase in the locked trunk and hope for the best.
Thats really all you can do until enough people get smart enough to use the system against itself to the point of implosion...and if all accused
were to demand a trial, virtually all petty busts would go away. As the funds dwindle the crooks with the badges and robes will look elsewhere to rob
the people.
