''but no one gets arrested for small amounts of roids''' oh and my favorite, '' they just go after the big fish, they don't care about personal use''.

how many times has this bullsh$t been said on this site.

not trying to blow this page up with tons of posts, but i just read the 2nd page of posts.

1) the smell of weed is still probable cause, and the fact he found it makes it pretty hard to prove he just 'made up' the story of smelling it, you know?

and

2) cops are exactly the reason i want to be a criminal defense attorney... there are cops that go to my gym that are juice heads.... how the **** are you going to arrest people and charge them with felonies for doing the same things youre doing? BY LAW, theres no difference between a narcotic and a steroid, but you better believe these juice head cops are going to arrest someone in a SECOND for possession of narcotics. they all think theyre above the law because 'they are the law', and it pisses me off. lol. (im still mad bc some douchebag cop was tailgating me earlier when i was going 3 over the speed limit and then he turned without signaling hahah)

I got pulled over by Highway Patrol the other day with my roomate on the way home for my window tint, The cop smelled weed in the car and did a search and found 5 grams and some beer in a cooler we had (but hadnt been drinking in the car) and it was both ours (both charged with possession). Then In my trunk i forgot I had a friends 2 vials of test e, one of which was half used. I got the possession charge for it, which is a felony. I was bailed out later that night from the jail. This was my first time ever being arrested or charged with anything. Now the test was a friends of mine who i was giving it back too, He was just recently dropped from the Marines because he had a Steroid possession charge along with weed as well. So i come here to ask for help and any guidance. I am using an attorney our family is good friends with but have yet to speak with him (This happened yesterday). Also, there were not any needles in the car.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks a lot.

Were you smoking the marijuana in the car? You say the cop smelled weed in the car... if you had not been smoking I would say you might have a chance to have the whole case thrown out. Law Enforcement has to have Probable Cause / Warrant / Consent to search your vehicle or an exception to the 4th amendment to enter your vehicle. If you were smoking in the car (which is retarded IMHO) then he has PC to enter your vehicle and after they found that weed, he can search every crook and cranny in the vehicle where you could hide more drugs. Now if you were not smoking in the car, than you could call him on his Probable cause as flaky..some drug cases get thrown out because the officer lacked probable cause to search. If the officer has a solid case might be better to plea out with the DA as usually they are more after the cases that involve Possession with intent to distribute.

As a budding second year law with over a year more experience than Bill86, I can honestly say you SHOULD be okay. A lot depends on the jurisdiction your in, the lawyer you have, and the DA that is prosecuting you. A lot of young DA's have stuff to prove and will go after a charge like this. To better help you, find an experienced attorney that knows the system and has a good rep. If you do that, you should be okay since it is your first offense (albeit it is a big one).
- btw Bill86 I'd a friend
Sincerely,
"suck it"

This piece missing from your logic is that if the cop asked him "Is it ok if I search your car" and he said yes, then its irrelevant.

Its not the fact of snitching, Its the fact that he was my bestfriend and left them with me on accident and i didnt realize i had them untill a few days before I was pulled over (on the turnpike, was actually going back home to see friends and give him back his sh!t). Now my friend told him about the situation and how it was a felony, and ive tried calling him almost every day since it happened and he wont answer or call me back. So if my "bestfriend" isnt going to come confess saying it was his, **** that im not getting charged with a felony, especially since im in school to get my Ph.D. But i guess well see how court plays out

Yeah thats what every one says "Im not getting Charged with a felony" Then you should not have been driving around with weed and booze and steriods pal. Telling is telling either way and if your head can hit the pillow at night knowing your "friend" is gonna do time for your error then I guess there is nothing that any of us can say to you. IT IS YOUR FAULT. For goodness sake this guy, "driving around with weed and booze" but im gonna tell... what is theis world comming to!?!! Please bro, play that tape to end. . . dont rat on some guy to save your skin thats freakin gross.

i wasn't going to get involved but i had to address this BRAINDEAD post.

everyone is a thug when they aren't the one facing the felony charge.

the bottom line is the TEST WASN'T HIS. THEREFORE THE FELONY CHARGE WOULD NOT EXIST HAD HE NOT BEEN ALREADY DOING A FAVOR BY HOLDING IT FOR HIS FRIEND.

true or not, if he would have gotten stopped with weed and booze, and no test, would he be facing a felony charge? i know it's an easy question, but ill answer it - NO.

therefore, why should he have to carry a felony charge around with him FOREVER for something that isn't even his? on every single job application have to mark yes to the question ''were you convicted of a felony?''.

EVEN IF mike wanted to take the charge, what sense does it make to tarnish another otherwise clean slate, when his stupid friend already has a felony on the books? unless his friend is on probation and about to be violated, it really wouldn't be prudent to screw another person over FOR FOREVER ( assuming the expungement is a no-go, which it sometimes,most times, is)

james, wtf is wrong with you? this isn't sopranos. have you ever taken a felony for someone else? if you haven't, stfu.

this is the part where you eat the weed as fast as you can.

hindsight, though.

thats why its always best to only carry enough on you that you can eat in case you get pulled over. thats the benefit of weed over other drugs, if you eat a ton of it, you won't die, like some pills

I did soon to be. I guess thats why this hit a soft spot with me, I took a felony for my friend and the drugs were his, but It was my choice to transport them in my car, And I am not a "thug" I am far from it. I have made bad choices and so did this guy, You are jumping to conculsions pretty fast there when you say "sapranos" I did not say I think he should be shot, I asked him to PLEASE think about what he is saying, Yes I am grossed out about it, yes I believe that if you are getting pulled over, drinking, smoking weed while having felony drugs in your car you should take responibility for it, he never said the guy hid them in his car, he appearntly had (at least at one time) intended on using them. Any one on this forum who knows me knows my story, I am alot of things but a tough guy is not one of them, I agree I could have made my point in a way that stated opinion without emotion, so in retrospect I wish I had, but I still feel the way I feel and if we disagree we do bro, this is a forum is it not, and he did ask for input no? Anyhow felony crimes do change your life forever, whether its steroids or heroin or drinking and driving or whatever, people need to sign on to that before they fet involved with any of them. thats it.
 
beast - i agree with you to an extent, but where to you get 'expungement is a no go in most cases'... around here, at least, and i assume in most places its the opposite... as long as you arent convicted (which im sure he WONT be as a first offender), youre entitled to ONE expungement....

so op... make it count, im sure you wont get convicted with a clean record, talk to your lawyer, im sure he'll recommend using the expungement here too.
 
unless he is given a deferred judgement, he will probably do a plea bargain.


a plea bargain is pleading guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for not costing the state money and time and courtroom space.

yeah, maybe they will drop the felony charge, but if they do, i'm almost certain they are going to keep the marijuana charge. cali has pretty lax policies on weed convictions, but, i'm not sure florida has the same.

also, keep in mind, some universities, like the one i am attending, will make you ineligible for financial aid if you are convicted of selling/possession of drugs while receiving financial aid.
 
btw, you don't just get convicted then the next day you get expunged.

years go by before your charge is eligible for expungement.


why are you SURE he won't be convicted? this is a multiple charge arrest. I'd buy the whole first time offender thing if it was a single charge arrest for a little weed. he'd probably get a deferred judgement and have to take some drug classes with community service and probation. but that's not the case.

edit : i think you're confusing two situations.


in most cases for a first offense, you WONT GET JAILTIME - really pending mandatory minimum sentencing.. you do convict first-timers, though.

That's actually a Federal stipulation, which is why it's on the FAFSA.

Still, I'm fairly certain that if he gets deferred adjudication, which I'm fairly certain he will considering it's a first time, it's not treated the same as a conviction. However, if you get any minor charge, it'll be changed to a conviction.

Considering that it's a drug charge, you'll get many random UAs and most states do not allow you to consume alcohol while on probation (not sure if this applies in your state or not).

I honestly would have taken label off and when cop pulls mr over I would have said it just enathanate oil with some hormones for my bio chem project and acted if nothing major. Technically ur not lying and if I was a cop and someone told me that I forget about it and just go focus on the weed

You wouldn't be a very good cop then. That would hilarious to see you explain that to the cop. Would make for a great episode of cops.

It was in your car, so you are responsible for it. End of story.
 
the thing we're all forgetting is, unless you're friend steps forward and says the Test is his, the test is yours.

this whole snitching thing might be a moot point if you're friend decides to screw you over.

no it doesnt.... you can file for expungement the day your charges are dismissed, and it takes at most a couple of months for everything to process.

im not confusing the two situations. his charges arent that serious AT ALL for a felony charge. and in this situation, id bet my last dollar he wont get convicted. most arrests are multiple charge arrests, this is a single felony arrest, its really not as big of a deal as people here think unless he has an absolutely awful lawyer, or the courts in florida are overly strict.

^^^this... and you dont HAVE to take a plea bargain. the last thing the court wants to do is go to trial. you dont HAVE to plead innocent or guilty, you can plead no contest. what will most likely happen if florida is anything like nc and your lawyer is half decent is the da will see that you have nothing on your record whatsoever, want to get this bull**** case out of the way, tell you to do some community service and drug classes in exchange for a dismissal of charges, then you file the expungement, and a few months later its like it never happened (the whole process of going to court, having the case continued to try for a good judge, etc takes months, of course)
 
I havent read anyone elses replies but i am well into law enforcement and know quite a bit about it... Two things i ask. What state do you live in, and what reason did the police give for searching the trunk?
 
Here we go
 
Ok well I just had court about a week ago so ill update here.

My Charges were:

Possession of Marijuana (under 20 grams)
Possession of Open Container
Possession of Schedule III Controlled Substance (Testosterone)

This was my first offense and I got 1 year on basic probation (no set-date specific drug tests, curfews, etc.) I have not been on anything for about 8 months or more now and i have a few questions.

Would I be ok to cycle a pro hormone? The random drug tests i might get every now and then aren't specifically for steroids as far as i know. Should i ask my Probation officer if it would be ok seeing as they're legal? I just think it would sound kind of sketchy just getting on probation for steroid charges and asking the guy if i could use these "legal pro hormones" that might give a false positive for illegal aas. Also, would they be able to find out that it was a pro hormone and not illegal was if i were to fail the test? Any advice or answers would be great.

Thanks guys,
Mike
 
Go clean for the year of probation. Not even weed. All you need is to fail drug test and you will regret it for the rest of your life. You are lucky to get away with probation so don't screw it up and violate the probation.

X2

DONT CYCLE - you will fail for steroids.... even if they are "legal" prohormones- you dont wanna mess up the chance you have been given......

if you fail a test(you will for prohormones) you will walk back in front of a VERY displeased judge

- you dont wanna piss off judges, ive tried that

gonna agree with what others said..go clean and be smart. hell, this may be a good time to try some natty cycles and let us know if they are worth a damn lol..good luck bud
 
you could go to your doctor and get a legit script for test.. (between now and your court date) and present to the d.a. and judge that you have a legitamate reason for carrying test in your car. this may not get get you off the hook, but it will prove that you have a existing medical condition that you are self medicating for, wink wink.. and at the very least if you get pulled over in the future the cops cant do ****.
if this is the route you decide to go, trt...maybe consider taking birth control to drop your test levels ( as to trick the blood test)
 
didnt see that you where already at court .....still if you have a script whether it be for pain killers or sleeping pills both of which will show up on a 7 panel drug test you can still take them unless in drug court probation. you can take all the test you want if you have a script. plus the court doesnt want to spend a couple hundred bucks to test your saliva or urine
 
I'm asking because I know alot of people here that are pulled over and the gear handed back. I myself had my girlfriend call the cops and hand over a bag of tri tren and test p,c,e. And other things. They took all of it and syringes and my needle disposal container. I'm talking 20 bottles of gear. I called the cops and they said they would be in touch. 7 months ago. I don't know if it's luck or just a waste of their time.
 
I know some aas stays in the system for up to a year or more(deca). I wouldn't have taken probation if I was you. Sounds like the best way, but they look over your back or you get screwed over with some petty charge like disorderly and then your screwed. I say get back on the juice, just watch what you do. If your not a problem for the probation officer then he has bigger fish to fry. The money they would need to spend to test you isn't in the budget. Even if your not clean they will just slap you on the wrist. Just when your on your off cycle try to get a test then by offering one. He will back off. Just tell him you was taking deca or Somthing that stays in the system for ever. The test will always come back positive. Just tell him that. Why waist money on Somthing they can't prove. Your only on for a year, your small time bro.

It might jus be the way yu worded it but why the fcuk wud yu give yur gear up like that.. And if I am misunderstanding what yu said then yur girlfriend is a total cnut no offense
 
No bro. She handed over the gear when I was gone away. So it wasn't in my possession. And she is long gone now and she is and always will be the biggest **** and rat I know. Lucky I kept all sources and names on a down low. She would of fried alot of people.
 
It's really sad that a woman can have all kinds of modifications done to themselves and as men we also like to look good. But what do we have. Gear. drives me nuts that you'd be a felon because of a bottle of gear. Pretty much ruin your life over it. The real felons are the ones doing this to people like us. I'm glad it's not so strict in Canada.
 
Keep your mouth shut, get an attorney! It's minor so NBD. Depends on your exact location I can refer GREAT Atty if needed.
