      They LOVE adding weight as it makes it look like they’re worth their immense funding. It can also push the charges from a personal allocation to a trafficking/distribution allocation…which is soo bogus!

    Good thing these two hardened criminals are behind bars. Great use of police resources……/s

    One day, resources won’t be wasted on stuff like this, till then, don’t forget to vote in every election. Be the change you want to see.

        In the US the cops would weigh the entire plant, soil and all and charge based on that weight. Friend got busted and thrown in jail for a bunch of seedlings because they weight the entire pot as weed. Don’t trust cops kids.

          Kinda fucked up, can you point to the court records? I’d love to read up on why their attorney didn’t challenge that piece of evidence

            If you can afford an attorney sure you can fight it. Costs thousands of dollars. He paid at least $15k to get his case overturned. This is after spending a few days in jail and 2 years of court procedures. They expect you to just plea bargain and take a lesser charge and not fight it.

                Not all states are equal. Court appointed lawyers tend to push plea bargains on you. If you want to get the charges expunged you need a professional that works specifically with those cases. That’s what he did.

                  There’s still something off about the story. That would be a slamdunk case that any lawyer would take probono.

                  The cops weigh the plant wet, but when it dries you lose up to 80% of the weight, not mention stems. With a single flowering plant, that’s usually enough for anything to stick.

                  So you buddy MUST have had something else if they got weighing the soil or plugs with it to stick. They’re scum, but there’s also policies to follow too.
