Heres the story..
My 21'st birthday, was being responsible as always. Went out to a bar, had my wife Designated driver, came back to my place, started to chill out with 5 people total.
Night went on, was smokin my new water pipe, we ordered a pizza. I hear a loud knock, my dumb ass just answers the door thinking it was pizza, its 5 cops. He looks sideways through my screen door and sees my bong, they come in and secure us. They take my bong, and my tiny bit of weed, they hook me up for 2 counts of misdemeanor drug paraphernalia. My friend had a one hitter and a tiny bit of weed aswell, they hooked him up for the same. He also had 1 oxycodene pill, in which they thought was a felony so they take him to jail, when he gets to jail they figure out its not a felony but book him anyway. Had to pay $1000 to get him out. We all were very compliant, and gave them no trouble whatsoever.
For some weird reason they didn't take the bowl just sitting on my table right next to everything else, they also didn't touch my bubbler in the other room.
They kept avoiding the question of the initial call of why they were there, im pretty sure it they were tipped by someone saying we would have allot of drugs, once they got inside and figured out we weren't criminals (none of us having any record) they seemed disappointed, since they brang 5 cops im pretty sure it wasn't just a noise complaint.
2 of the police officers seemed nice, explaining to me what I should do in in court, telling me to talk to the DA and try to get on the first offenders program in which I would have to do community service. the problem is I work full time, I don't want to do this crap (Seeing as I dont feel like I broke the law in the first place). It doesn't matter if I pay a lawyer or do community service, I will be paying either way (Taking time off work).
I got screwed over for nothing.. what was this supposed to teach me? sitting in my house being responsible.. and then cops wonder why young people don't respect them.. or even why we don't vote.. hmm maybe because we have no rights?
Dont ever leave stuff laying around when you answer the door.. big mistake. its funny because I was actually starting to respect police again figuring this would never happen to me seeing as Im a very small responsible personal user.. well I was wrong..
Great 21'st birthday! Now I guess im going to have to pay a alot of money to a lawyer to make these charges go away.. all for nothing..
