What Happened: Pulled over for driving under suspension. the cop told me that my car was going to be impounded & searched. What was weird was when a K-9 unit showed up not even 15 mins after id gotten pulled over & before the cop had actually told me anything about searching my car, which i gave consent to.
Busted with: baggies, scales, 70g of bud(already pieced out), 20 Adderall(in an unmarked pill bottle), 4 MDMA pills, 2.5 sheets of LSD(without the lines drawn on them) & enough info written down on paper to make it look like i am running a drug ring...all in the trunk of course.
End Result of that Nite: altho the cop told me that i should be brought to jail for trafficking, they let me go and only charged me with the DUS & that they were going to wait until they got the lab test results back from the rest of the drugs they found.
Questions:
- is it normal procedure for K-9 to show up even though there was verbal consent to search? is it even normal procedure in the first place to search a car that is being impounded?
- what information should i know about indictments? Surveillance?
- this is my first offense but im pretty sure that there are no loopholes in my case...what if a lawyer doesnt want to take my case?
- how many years of prison time should i expect?
thanks thanks & thanks!
