    Will I get any jail time for my first offense 5th degree felony drug possecion?
    I was pulled over on aug 8 2012. The state trooper saw a weed pipe in my middle console. So that gave her a reason to search me. She found pain pills in my purse. I had two types of pills. One of the pills is oxycodons (16) laying in my purse spilled with the bottle prescribed to me but of course the belong in the bottle but they were not in there. And about 20 more other oxycodons and hydrocodone pills. I do have proof that all the pills were mine because I can provide pharmacy printouts. The only thing I've done that I think is against the is went to random doctors to obtain them but they are mine. I have not had a prescription in almost a year but that's normal because I save these pills like gold. Since they are so hard for me to get. How can they charge me with a felony drug possession? Or can the charge me with "dr. Shopping?" please someone help! I'm do scared and this is my first time in trouble for anything.

    Get Lawyer and beat the charge, you were charged with illegal possession, so your prove you had them legally, The "DR" shopping is a different charge and the DA would have to refile new charges for that, it seldom happens.

    You most likely already said too much, but don't make another statement without an attorney.
    If you have to appear plead not guilty until you get your attorney

    What did they charge you with? "Doctor shopping" is not a crime.

    You seem to be aware that carrying prescription pills outside the container (with the ID'ing information) is a crime.

    Were you charged with possession of the pipe? Why would you drive around with it visible in your car?

    I doubt you'll get jail time for 5th degree possession, but it is possible. Depending on the skills of your Attorney I believe you could get some form of supervised probation, including drug testing. In my area 5th degree is almost always possession with intent to sell, and that is treated harshly. I don't know where you are.

    Hello D:

    You got good advice.. I'm just going to rant for a sec, OK? Any cop/legal system that does this to its citizens is an ILLEGAL government and needs to be brought down.
