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.
