Well, about 5 months ago i got stopped by a minivan with 2 guys. I turned into a gas station too fast and forgot i had anything in my car. When i came to a stop i had a guy with a gun on his vest half drawn from the holster banging on my window. Scared the shit outta me, so of course i let him search when he said were gunna search ya. I then remembered i had 2 hitters in the car. He asked if there was anything he should know about and i was remembered, handed them to him before he found them on his own. I was polite and cooperative. He wanted me to bust someone, wanted me to get him someone who could get a pound. I didnt know anyone, and he was supposed to call me and never did. So now 5 months later i have a bunch of paper from law offices show up at my door. My dad calls his friend whos a lawyer in the area. He looks into it, as of yesterday, there was a case number, but no charges. And now today my dad tells me i may have a warrant out for my arrest. Hes waiting on a call to find out. From what the lawyer said, it could be a small fine if it stays as a local ordinance, he can get it removed and pretty much thrown out. Now if its on the state level, i may be in a bit of trouble. I guess DuPage County is out to set an example of people like me. Keep in mind they found nothing but 2 hitters. No weed, and i mean no weed, not even a baggie with little bits of shake. And nothing else. Anyone have any words of advice or gotten in trouble in this area? Any help would be welcome.

Hopefully nothing will come out of it. Good Luck! With today's DUI laws I wouldn't keep anything in my car that could even remotely get me in trouble.

Possesion of Drug paraphernalia. Bail was $1000 10% and the $50 processing fee. Was supposed to take 20 min but the whole thing took 3 hours. But i just sat there quietly and patiently in my holding cell. And in the front office before that. I think it wouldda happend quicker if they brought me in to be honest. But what could i do? Be loud and be a dick? What good would that do me? I was there as the consequences of my own actions/choices. All that would do is piss them off and get me at the end of the line instead of the front where being calm and patient got me. It was funny, the one officer laughed when he heard i got busted for having a one hitter and he said something along the lines of, thats why i never carried my hitter in HS, rollin shit and apples left no evidence, and laughed. So Far the worst part of all this is having to go to court on my 21st bday. I was planning on takin the day after off so i could recover, but now i have to ask for my bday instead for court. Wont take off both days since that will cost me $224 worth of lost pay, and i need my money to pay the fees im going to have and my lawyer.

Well, it was pointless. I was there 5 min before i walked out and talked with my lawyer. He showed me the police report and its nothing like what went down. its bullshit. So now i get to go back on the 11th of dec. Which is my dads bday. Today was my 21st. So after court i got my new license, went to work, then after work hit the bar with my dad for my first legal drinks, now im gettin ready for dinner with the fam. My lawyer said though that he thinks we can get the case thrown out on account of it being an illegal search since i was intimidated as all hell by them because of their actions. He said i couldnt have gotten a better judge and is highly convinced we can get this thrown out and it will for sure stay off my record. Only thing is, last night i smoked a blunt with some friends, had like 4 diff kinds of dro in it. That was my last smoke session till court or court supervision is done with. Im gunna miss smoking, but ill be back as soon as i can afford to smoke. But if i gotta take a drug test for court i would like to be clean ya know? And i have almost exactly 4 weeks and a few days.
