And because of that you are looking for ways to diminish your responsibility, damage control and are justifying your son's actions to cut your losses, plezzzz get real, who do you think you are kidding? Do you really thing we are that stupid? lol. how am i justifying my sons actions? OF COURSE I want to get the smallest charge possible. I am in no way justifying what he did, but if he was not carrying marijuana why am i going to sit here and watch him be charged with that?
It doesn't matter how many times you honestly know about, it matters that you know it happened at all, you don't get it, splitting hairs like this isn't setting a good example for your child, like Carl said his son would be down trying to work out some program and knowing that at home he was also facing some form of appropriate punishment such that they might even rather go to Juvie! YOU dont know what punishment my son has received from me so why are you even commenting on this? That is why i told you i am not here for you to tell me how to raise or punish my child. He has severe punishment and has lost all freedom he had when that happened.
"Curiousity killed the cat but satisfaction brought him back", but what about after your son has used up his 9 lives and you go and ID his lifeless, pale body on a slab? This is past the courious stage. Pleazzz get real!
NO! You are just trying to limit your liability and save your butt and not deal with anymore than you have to and maybe it will all go away? You know what, than fine thats what im doing. Its my son I would do the same for my wife or daughter. This is my family, I rather deal with them at home than go through the system
In no way am i making excuses for him. That is all you have done, continually making the excuse that he wasn't in possession because the jar was empty and or because he either had sold or smoked it all already or was on his way to get more to smoke and or sell and was too stupid to put the scales and empty jar in the trunk and being driven by someone who doesn't obey the basic laws of the road, bringing attention to them causing them to get caught. So in addition to you knowing that your son is a dealer and only lucky that he's only getting cited for possession rather than possession with intent to sell. If there had been anything more than there was, you better believe that they would have been immediatly cited for intent to sell. Just because the driver wasn't cited at that point doesn't mean that they won't get cited later, BTW. How you act may have considerable impact on your son's prosecution. He would have been cited with the greater offense. .
A scale is used to weigh the marijuana. Maybe they were purchasing the marijuana. I really dont know but neither you nor I are in the place to say he was selling. You cant prove that he was, I cant prove that he wasnt. Another thing my son has never been introuble with the law, Has never gotten into fights at school. Honor roll student. He's actually one grade ahead, skipped a year. and currently holds a steady job.Thats why im trying to get him out of this. My son has a future and i dont want to see him lose it.
Wouldnt you help your child if he/she were in the same position?
What do you mean by HELP? Do you mean get them off? No, I was in that position 11 years ago, my son had joined tha USMC and had cold feet. He and his friends thought a possession charge would get him out. They were wrong. Thankfully they didn't understand the one track mind and influence of the "Recruiter" who deal with these situations everyday. He got in, after special approval by the commandant of the USMC and lost his MOS and was assigned another one. In the USMC besides making the uniform look great, he became a man, he stayed away from drugs and matured considerably, he is now alive and well, raising his family whereas his partner's in crime who got away with it time and time again are dead. Less than 1 year from that incident his friend who provided the MJ OD'd so he has been 6 feet under for the last 10 years, he had used up his 9 lives so to speak. His parents, to this day blame themselves for what happened, because they made excuses for him. My son has thanked me time and time again for not trying to get him off.
Where are you getting this? Ask yourself the same question. Different strokes for different folks
you are getting very off topic, what do you mean thats the reason they call it a "lid" Pleeezzzz, before they had digital scales they measured it in a LID, how is that off subject your son had the scale and is a dealer! It was a lot cheeper then so it didn't matter how accurately they measured it, I am not going to educate you on the subject.Again, making assumptions that my son is a dealer. Do you know him personally? have you bought marijuana from him before? Ok then please stop now. and believe me i dont need any education on the subject.
DUHHHHH, it doesn't matter, he got caught. Even you admit it and the smell is less than a lot of measures but still evidence of possesion and the jar with smell, evidence of intent to sell, he is lucky that it was empty when he got caught THIS TIME. Don't worry he has sold before and will sell again if you get him off. I will suggest several things, refinance your house, now, so you will have the money to pay the criminal defense attorney's in the future and to pay for funeral costs if and or when his criminal life catches up with him and to pay for your grief counseling.yes he got caught with a scale and empty jar, so why is he being charged with possession of marijuana? and dont tell me the jar was EVIDENCE of possession. DUH, i know this, BUT HE WAS NOT CAUGHT WITH ANY SUBSTANCE! HOW CAN U BE CHARGED WITH HAVING A STUBSTANCE YOU DONT HAVE? I DONT CARE HOW EVIDENT IT WAS THAT IT WAS IN HIS CONTROL BEFORE THEY GOT THERE. HE DIDNT HAVE IT WHEN THEY FOUND HIM IS MY POINT.
There are a lot of things he shouldn't be doing at all or even at 16, do I need to list those here? BTW, why wasn't he driving, shall I guess?again, making more assumptions. He was riding with someone THATS WHY HE WASNT DRIVING.
