I got pulled over leaving my house they cuffed me and said we are serving a narcotic search warrant on ur house right now, I said I want a lawyer and just kept repeating that to every question anyway they raid me and charge me with sales and cultivation the evidence list reads like this:
49 immature plants sw bedroom
16 mature plants sw bedroom
25 mature plants backyard
1 digital scale with residue
Misc us currency living room
1 12 gauge shotgun fully loaded
1 box shotgun shells
1 indicia in my name
4 high power lights
2 co2 canisters
2 jars dried marijuana
2 bags with dry marijuana
Now that sounds bad right? Well 1st off let me tell you what I really had I had 21 plants in the backyard 5 drying in the sw bedroom
and as far plants go that's it! I have no idea how they came up with 90 plants but that's dirty leo for ya. The money was not mine and not made from drug profits, the shotgun was in my moms name and it was loaded and leaning on the wall becuz she heard people trying to get in and grabbed it they Ideed themselves as cops and she leaned it on the wall, I also am part of a mmj growers coop and have had a medical liscence for weed for three years although at the time of the raid my rec was expired for 1.5 months.
My bail was 50 grand I posted bail cost me 5 grand so my court date was set for today the DA has had almost 3 weeks to file I got to court today and my name wasn't on the roster so I went to the clerks and she said the DA hasn't filed yet and that they'll hold my bond for 15 days if they don't file by then Its a DA reject!
I didnt get a lawyer nothing I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they don't file any in the next 15 days.
oh and this happened in socal and I also no record I'm sure that helped some.
but it just goes to show the importance of mmj liscences.
