My son was just arrested in Monterey County for possession of .1 gram of hashish -- bought at an authorized dispensary with a valid Medical Marijuana Card. Yes -- I am saying POINT 1 (.1) gram of hash! His car was impounded and I had to bail him out after almost 24 hours-- with the bond set at $10,000! The CHP officer mocked my son's possession of the card and desperately tried to tie in an "under the influence" charge to the stop. He could not.
I am LIVID about this... Not only have I now spent over $1,300 in bond and towing fees, I fear that I will now have to hire an attorney and commute to a hearing in Salinas - over 100 miles from our house in Alameda County.
And to think that all of my son's paperwork was simply left in the impounded car... The cop didn't even bother to bring it as evidence. LIVID!!!!
Is there any chance I can recover the $1,000 in Bail Money? This is absurd!
