The circumstances have to make you smile. The reality of it is
U G L Y!! Where we live felony charges are pressed and they do
not disappear easily..if at all. The local cops stopped a white
teacher after following her from a minority neighborhood where
she had agreed to drop off a couple after a party. She had her
pills in her purse. They did not believe they were her pills
and booked her in jail for felony possession. She asked the cops
to stop at her house two blocks from the jail and on the way. She
said she would give them her housekeys and tell them where the
Rx bottles were in her kitchen. NOT!!
She had to spend two nights in jail and was suspended from her
teaching position. The local law enforcement insisted in the newspaper that they were "doing their jobs" and emphasized that
by stating that they often took senior citizens to jail for the
same thing because "the law is the law".
My teen is a felon because an Rx bottle was found in the back
seat of his car after he lent the car to E.F. the night before.
It's scarey! Although it could easily have been his bottle..it
was not and he volunteered the car to be searched because he knew
it was clean. Sad times. DDD
