Beat my charges due to illegal search.......... know your rights people
My dude, you couldn't have said that any better. LOL...
my father is well known and respected judge - which is why I never had the chance to actually see a jail cell. I consider it a blessing because if my father wasn't who he is.. my ass would have been in prison a long time ago. I mean, I got setup by an old "friend" (thought he was a friend..) and got hit with a Class 'Y' felony and a Class 'A' misdemeanor from that whole situation.. I didn't have to rat anyone out.. nor would I ever even consider ratting on anyone (must be my Sicilian blood) and I knew I wouldn't have to rat/narc on anyone even if I HAD TO.. because of who my father was.
The night I was setup and arrested.. I was released from the police station without paying a penny for bail. How? I was let go on my own 'reconicence' (spell check anyone?) - which means, I had to sign this piece of paper and date it.. woopity dewww!
I also played a reverse psychology move on the detective that was the head of my 'case'. The night I got arrested, I was sitting in this fucking cage in the rear of the police station (just a big dog kennel pretty much, made out of chain-link fencing and had a metal bench mounted on the wall, not too comfortable) - I sat in there for about 30 minutes until finally the detective came back there and talked to me. I just basically asked him, "hey, what do I have to do.. to go home tonight?", and he replied "I need 3 names and you'll have to be involved in the take-downs on all 3 people." Ah hah! This is where it clicked in my head.. to play the reverse psychology move on his ass... and that's exactly what I did.
He needed 3 names.. but I told him that I would have to think about it overnight and get back with him. So, the detective tells me that if I agree to help him with giving him 3 names, he tells me that he will let me go home and let me sign a document that releases me on my own 'reconicence?' (spell check again?) and he gives me his 'business' card with his name and telephone number on it. After signing the document, I assure him that I'll be in touch.. and that was that for that night.
I walk outside the police station and call a buddy of mine to pick me up. He comes and gets me and takes me home.. because the police impounded my truck the night I got busted/setup, so I had no way of driving home.
So I get home, and guess who calls my fucking cell phone. The rat mother fucker that set me up!!! He calls me, and his tone of voice.. was like, you know, he knew what he did.. and knew what it was all about.. but yet, he still had the nerve to ask me.. "what the fuck was that all about earlier this evening??" - Really..? Really....!?!? REALLY!?!?!? YOU RAT MOTHER FUCKER YOU!! You honestly have the fucking balls to call me after you set me up.. and act like you don't know what the fuck that was all about?!?! REALLY?!! I told him I'd see him around eventually.. and hung up on his stupid ass.
Anyhow, the next morning.. the detective calls me and asks me if I had come up with three names. I politely tell him that I wasn't going to cooperate nor was I ever going to give his ass any fucking names. I then politely told him that if he needed further information from me.. he needs to either call my lawyer or he can call the Attorney General.. which of whom is and was then, a VERY good friend of my fathers. Little did the detective know, but the Attorney General was personally going over my arrest.. and my case.
Anyhow, at the end of all the chaos.. the detective got put in his place, all my charges were dropped with the combination of the Attorney General and my fathers help.. and I got my truck back the night after I got arrested.
Basically, I knew my rights people.. I knew that the police couldn't force me to do anything I didn't want to do.. and all of you have the same right. Each state has its own laws though.. make sure you understand that part of it. Make sure your educated on the arrest process and your rights.. use the internet to study up on your local states-state laws and you'll be fine.
One other thing too.. right quick.. its not only what you know.. but sometimes, its who you know that counts.
peace.
