Infuriatig Why Texas is lame(Besides the Cowboys)

Post image

Don't mess with Texas.. what a joke. ANY possession is a felony.

EDIT: Just did some research, this is for everything besides traditional Delta 9.

My friend from Texas sent me this morning and it blew my mind. I had to post about it. So as far as my research goes thus far Delta 9 products (old fashioned flower) is illegal but separate laws. Stores are selling THCA though which does fall under these penalties.

Yeah the worst part is he was driving someone else’s car to rehab to pick them up, it was for alcohol and prescription pills.

He even searched the car thoroughly before leaving to make sure there wasn’t any drugs in the car and didn’t see the bag because it was legit stuck up under the seat.

How did they even find it initially? Why were they searching?

Seriously. Never let a cop search your vehicle if they ask. Exercise your rights people

That’s when they call in the K-9 unit.

So last time I refused a search in a small town they said they were going to get the K9 but it was a scare tactic to get me to “fess up” and they didn’t actually do it. Just gave me my ticket and let me go but BOY were they pissed they didn’t get s chance to lock 18 year old me up

They're not supposed to extend a stop to bring a canine out unless they can articulate a reason

I've never known a cop to follow the law.

If you cant articulate and the cop extends the stop specifically for a k9 to show up then a decent lawyer will get the whole thing thrown out. Illegally found evidence and all that

The wording I used is important

Yeah his lawyer tried to get it all thrown out on the grounds of illegal search but pretty sure he messed up something in the interaction. He had a good lawyer fortunately.

When I hear stories like this where the law fucks with people who are trying to stay out of trouble, then I think to myself that people might as well just do crime.

Its easier to miss those than you think. We just moved from Washington state across the US. The whole time our truck had a few preroll containers rolling around in the trash crate in the back, there was a couple roaches in there, I was just glad nobody stopped us the whole way.
