How I Beat A Pot Charge

In 2017~ I got pulled over for rolling past a stop sign, my dumbass had a eight of weed on my passenger seat. I was citied (not arrested) and the cop took the pot.

I hired a lawyer, and I told the lawyer I want a jury trial. He reviewed the case and told me I was a moron, the stop was legal, the weed was in plain sight, I'd lose in a heart beat.

And I straight up said "Give me a jury trial"

DA ended up offering me 25 hours of community service, $500 fine, and a drug class. I turned down the plea deal and demanded a jury trial.

DA thought I was crazy and basically said I'd lose. He also told me the book would be thrown at me. Fuck it, bring it was my attitude.

I then added my cherry on top

I told my lawyer to demand a speedy trial. DA responded by dropping the case.

I was ready to dance, the DA wasn't.
