I was Charged with possession Of cocaine. I was at a hotel room with An 18 yr old and a 60 yr old male I am 20 years old. there reason for coming to our room is because they thought we were prostitutes since we were with a 60 yr old male. In the room they found crack pipes and a spoon and expty baggies. In my friends car they found crack that i new nothing about.. but they charged all 3 of us with it. I am out on a PR bond right now and I have not seen my lawyer yet. Im scared this will turn out bad , I was charged before for the same thing and it got dismissed. Any ideas about how this may turn out? Im hoping for the best and expecting the worse. Thank you.
If you weren't doing drugs then who was? There were pipes etc in the room, obviously the last occupants didn't leave it there, so who did?
I'm not a legal expert but I don't think you're going to get off on this one. You got off the first time and you can be sure that the judge will be informed that this is your second offence.
i was doing drugs that night i told the cops that but the stuff they found in my friends car was not mine i honestly didnt know about it. And the charges i had b4 r not on record it was dismissed

I really suggest getting a lawyer, that's your best bet.
You have a lot of problems and they're all linked to this 60 year old man.
Maybe a little time in jail would be the best thing for you.
me going to jail would not help anything, yeah ive done things wrong in my life but Im a good person i work 40 hours a week to help my mother. Ive learned my lesson from drugs and dont plan on using them again.

It would have been a lot easier if you had learned your lesson the first time.
The thing is, do we believe you? I'm sure you said the same thing the first time, which is probably why the charges were dismissed. Now you're saying it again, but you've already proven that your word doesn't mean much.
That's what the judge is going to take into consideration.
You really need a good lawyer and then you need to get your life back in order and keep it there.
Is this charge a felony? I would think you have a chance at probation and reduction to a misdemeanor if it's not already that. The charge is gonna stick your not gonna be able to get it dismissed again. Unless a lawyer can get it throw out for some legal reason. You want to try and avoid a felony conviction. Maybe ask the lawyer is it possible to expunge the misdemeanor in the future.
The police are gonna think he is a dealer or your a prostitute.Why would a 20 year old girl hang out with a 60 year old guy who isn't a family member in some motel. Besides legal trouble your safety is at danger,the guy is a least looking for free drugs or to scam you. He probably wants sex,your at risk for rape,being attack,etc. Please avoid this guy.
You need to hire a lawyer or get a legal aide if can't afford one. Tell them the whole story even it looks bad it help them arrange the best deal for you. Maybe they can get thrown out on some loop hole. A lot times even arrest record pop up on a background check for a job,an employer seeing 2 arrest for crack isn't gonna look good. Even if you get arrested again for a misunderstanding the past arrest can effect your bail and other results. Cops,da can be there gonna care about your or your family.
If it went down like you said, the search was illegal and the charges should be dropped. However, the cops are going to say it went down differently. You're going to need a lawyer.

If the police came to the door and you allowed them to come in and then answered their questions, then there was no illegal search. The cops have the right to knock on your door and ask you question. You have the right to not answer the door or their questions. If you gave up the goods, oh well. Lesson learned.
The police are going to have difficulty proving that the drugs in the car were yours. They may have had probable cause to arrest you for such, but proving the possession beyond a reasonable doubt is another thing. Their proof is stronger on the cocaine residue in the pipes.

Hello again, Mom:
Of course, the scenario you describe above is much more probable than the cops just walking in, as the OP implies... Most people, when asked by the cops if they can come in, or if they can "look around", cave.
There are, however, some cops, in some podunk little towns, mainly in the South, who will barge right in and start turning the place upside down. Hence, my advice. I probably should elaborate more. Good for you for doing so.
Maybe a little time in jail would be the best thing for you.
Obviously breaking the law has consequences, but if the jails in the US are anything like here, drug offences for personel use should never be sent to Jail
The prisons in this country are supossed to be drug free and yet every prison has a "Drug Free Landing", which means they guarantee that part of the prison has no drugs in - I ask you!!!
A friend is a prison guard for a female prison, and itis their experience that if they clamp down on cannabis, it leaves the prisoners a choice of the harder drugs, which in turn creates more problems, especially with highly strung scenarios - so they have a "it if they dont see it, they dont stop it policy" its provides tranquility
I can appreciate the purpose of jail is to teach someone a lesson, but the reality is so far different

I threw the pipes in the water bowl.. would they still beable to get residue
When two different stories are posted I tend to believe half of each. I'm not sure what the "story" is here and, therefore, have no idea what the Police can and cannot prove.
