 |
|
|
Young man just recently got pulled in his vehicle and searched. Officers found .8 oz pot. Issued him 2 citations post-dated for two months ahead just in case he might have information they would be interested in.
What's with that? Have never heard of anything like it! This happened in Oregon this past weekend. |

If the court date on the citation is two months from the date of offense...the cop is legal.
If the cop dated the citation two months into the future...the case can easily be won by proving the offender was not present in the future to possess the marijuana.
Sounds like the young man is being enticed into being an informant. Tell him NOT TO GO THERE!!! Never snitch drug cases. Snitch on child molesters.
A few questions?
Was the future date for a court appearance or was the citation actually post dated?
Did the officer seize the pot or dump it on roadside?

| Pot seized. Citation date (written) for july 2007..not a court date. Citations actually issued May 27, not July 27th as written on ticket. Gives the young man two months to worry and decide if he needs to tell the officer anything important. |

I would plea not guilty jury trial. Smaller courts handling these cases HATE JURY TRIALS. I would also call the local judge and explain the illegal post date. Explain you are going to fight this in court and winning will be easy because you never possessed marijuana on June 27th.
This is the first I have ever heard of this happening!
OHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I just remembered. It is illegal to falsify a government document! A citation is a government document. Sounds like this needs to be reported to your local District Attorney for prosecution! Don't just let this go because of fear.
Fight it. The cop is totally out of line.
In fact, if the young man will email me at info@nevergetbusted.com I will personally call the judge and the officer's supervisor and explain what this cop is doing. He is breaking the law. Allow me to help!

I had a similar situation that was not for marijuana, but the ticket was dated falsely.
I did not know it was illegal for the cop to do this, but just thought it was "wrong". I went to trial, plead as you said that the ticket was wrong because I was hundreds of miles from the location noted on the ticket on the date on the ticket, not by just a day or so, but by over 2 months. It was not a typo of a wrong month or day or anything, but literally the cop wrote the ticket intentionally for the wrong date.
I would like to follow up on this and report the officer if I can, however I no longer have records of my ticket.
I love the ideas of police to keep me safe, but I am very much apposed to corruption.
What can I do? |
