If you're who I think you are, well you got busted for pot + paraphenellia and then you got it down to probation. You'd go crazy too if you were stuck in jail + boot camp with murderers, rapists, violent offenders, etc.

Tough on crime is bullshit. It is very much a political thing that also generates revenue for a city.
Clogging the system with non-violent offenders of victimless crimes does not help anyone.
I was watching an episode of cops yesterday, and it made me sick.
The first was three black guys who had maybe $20 worth of weed on them. All three arrested had car towed with no other violations (no warrants, ha registration and all).
The second was a guy trying to get to work who was pulled over for expired tags and his tag light being out. He was 100% honest with the officer (he admitted to smoking weed at times and said there might be roaches in the car --there wasn't). His license was suspended for not paying a seat belt ticket (he claimed he didn't know about the ticket till he was pulled over a few days before). He was honest and up front about everything. Ge wasn't a safety risk to anyone. He was legitametely on his way to work.
Arrested. Car towed. I think thy said they would let him call his boss and let him know he was going to be late. The cop lied to him a few times. Just an asshole.
It was sleazy, sure he drove on a suspended license, for a small infraction. He had to get to work and needed his paycheck to pay off the tickets. He had the ticket on him. He was honest about it.
The reality is people still need to work. He wasn't putting anyone at risk. His "crimes" were clerical.
I felt legitametly bad for the guy. this was a recent episode too judging by the cop cars.
The first arrest, with the three dudes, they had 3 or 4 undercover cars. Two small baggies of weed. They acted like it was a huge bust too.
We need to rise up. This shit ain't right.

Reminds me of when me and two mates got arrested, we were smoking a zoot. The policewoman came round the corner didnt think it was a biggy threw the zoot bam shes on the radio calls for 4 more policeman to come and a van to arrest us in, puts us in different cells for 7 hours while she is slow as can be interviews me like she has caught a drug kingpin trying to find his source (do I want a solicitor... lol). After all that and being searched down to my boxers and everything I own pulled apart they still failed to find the rest of my weed.

Anyone who is not brainwashed by puritanical prison-sponsored propaganda can see there is no justification to getting the justice industry involved for drug use past investigation. The guy who smokes weed at a party will not benefit from being shacked up with rapists and murderers for a few months or even years.
At worst, anyone who uses any drugs selling them should be sent to a rehab facility for several weeks. Of course, the justice industry will not allow that and will stop at nothing to prevent actual societal progress/reduced recidivism save its own liquidation. The child is but a sacrificial lamb, one of many.

This shit likely happens 100 or 1000 times for every one of these stories that make the news. The "justice" system is a joke propped up by courtroom drama on prime time TV. He will issue a bullshit apology and plea down to a few years that will be reduced to public service on some bullshit condition. Meanwhile, some celebrity will be caught facing the wrong way on a California freeway with drugs in the car after their 5th DUI and somehow be out and partying in a week. Meanwhile, some welfare mother will be denied $20 a month for baby formula after missing an appointment that was rescheduled at short notice for the second time after missing a bus at five in the morning after walking to drop her kid off at a generous neighbor's house. Meanwhile money will continue flowing to all the people who give lip service to propping up the system, and more money will be funneled into the bureaucracy that sustains it all to be skimmed off by the people on top.
Know the right people? Have money? You'll be fine. It's not like we practice justice around here. It's like the US is trying to fast-forwarding into what Eastern Europe was a decade ago.

A fascist guru "hooky ups"?

Why is this? I was 17 at the time and was I 18 I wouldn't of even been arrested. I smoked a zoot and no one got hurt, instead the police thought it was a good idea to take 4 coppers of the street during christmas time when crime is at it's highest to see that I was bored for 7 hours. Seems rather silly to me. Unless you are one of them?

She chose to have the kid. Stop acting as if poor people are there because of their circumstances- the poor people I have seen waste money on things they don't need while never bothering to invest in themselves. There is more than enough opportunity to get yourself out of poverty if you aren't a complete moron.
Healthcare: Poor eat shit, never bother thinking about their health, and then ask others to pay. Kids: Poor get knocked up, don't learn their lesson, get knocked up again, and then ask for other to pay for their kids. They complain about not being able to get a good job without going to school, etc.
Most poor people are fucking retards that can't handle their own money. Granted there are those pull themselves out of it, there is no excuse for staying in the same spot year after year.

Since it wasn't her decision to have the kid how did it work? Did a stork deliver the child or was it an immaculate conception?

Bullshit. Why would they even aak you for the source. Thats putting your life in danger over less than $20 worth of weed.
A chick who lived next door to my friend got caught with an E pill hen she was 17. The cops scared her into buying some for them. She's in witness protection now and can't even talk to her family.
They tried that with my brother too, for an unrelated charge. Here is a drug addict and they are trying go get him to put his life on the line so they can make a large bust. He didn't do it, but they almost convinced him by playing off how stupid he can be (they acted like he was a really clever forger because he signed a check out to himself from my dead aunt. Yea real genius. They said things like "you aren't working with anyone else? And you were able to do this?" he bought into it too.
Cops are scum.

They said he could face up to 157 years. He's probably going to prison for life for this, especially with this news story and the mother testifying against him.

It was more than one judge involved. I wouldn't be surprised if most charges get dropped (judges can throw charges away at any time and often do). It was a pretty large conspiracy. Either they throw one under a bus, or they might just get them off light to keep them quiet.

I assure you it's not bullshit, they honestly just watch to many movies and when they get a drug offense treat it like they have just caught Tony Montana.
I wouldn't go so far as to say they are putting my life in danger or would need witness protection, my current dealer is my mate but where I go elsewhere they are just estate guys or sometimes the odd oldschool bloke shotting out of his house. They don't have armies, sure they have a few mates who fancy themselves as being hard but that's about it.
You don't have to tell them, but they will try it on anyway.

If you're right, that's probably the reason why they sent him home prior to sentencing. They want to give him the opportunity to put an end to it before it goes any further...if you get my meaning.

How roman, but maybe they are hoping he will instead of facing prison.

What the fuck are you smoking? That comment was geared more toward the uneven protection afforded by the US "justice" system than poverty. Way to write a scathing reply to things I never said.
