How fucked is my friend?

I just got some real shitty news. One of my friends just got pulled over, his car got searched and the Fuzz found just over an O, bagged into one half, a quarter and like 4 twenty bags. There were also two pieces in the car, a scale, (maybe two) a couple more empty bags, a grinder, lighters, etc. Theres no chance of the search being thrown out since there was a warrant on his car from when people doing work on his car found nug and called the police last may. Now, I know this is a reallly bad situation, but I also know that the american legal system is terribly biased towards rich, white people. His dad is acting as his lawyer, i think, and his dad used to be a pretty serious lawyer and has a good reputation and decent influence. This kid was going to BU next year with some scholarships and I believe was already accepted to grad school as well. This has been pretty disorganized, but i'm in shock. I'm trying to think of any other useful situation. He turns 18 in a couple months. Does anyone have any idea of how fucked my friend is?

Theres about as much legal bias for rich white people as there is potential dads for anna nicoles baby.

I haven't really been all that invested in the anna nicole smith situation, but unless there are alot of potential dads, you're wrong. Even if you don't want to consider race, a good lawyer can turn a multiyear sentence into six months of probation and community service. Good lawyers cost money. Mad money. Poor people don't have money, that's why being poor sucks.

My friend did that when he was about 12 or 13 too. He never got caught but he did manage to hit a parked car.

So it isn't race*, and anyway, if you don't have a good enough lawyer to defend your case that isn't bias is it?

It's a bias of the legal system; people with money get better defenses and legal counsel than those without.

Do you really believe that race has no bearing on many of the sentences in the united states?

I think you're getting the words 'bias' mixed up with 'advantage', it's like saying it's unfair that a midget can't play basketball. And anyway, racial profiling/bias in the legal system has went down alot especially after all the hate crime lawsuits people have been filing.

im a faggot? you obviously dont now the implications of drug laws in the united states. ive had friends from texas and cali get busted for trafficking, the punishments are a bit more intense then they are up here in canada. your friends a fucken idiot. it doesnt take alot to fly under the radar when your pushing chronic. getting busted once could be just a bad mistake or fluke, if your getting busted again and again your fucking retarded and shouldnt be doing what your doing. go pump gas or something.

Hahaha, it's so funny reading all of you try to defend him! HAHAHAHA!

Face it, he messed up, now he has to face the consequences. You all look so ridiculous trying to defend him, it's hilarious! I'm laughing my ass off right now because of stupid druggies like these people who ruin their lives just to chase a high. Let him rot in jail, it's less job competition for me.

He messed up. Ok. Smoking pot doesn't make you a druggie. You shouldn't "rot in jail" for something as harmless as weed. He does it because he enjoys it, just like you enjoy skiing or, apparently, finding jobs. Maybe instead of judging other people you should try it before you knock it so you don't sound like a conceited, ignorant jackass. Thanks.

1) smoking doesnt make you a "druggie." druggie is a stupid ass term used by lame people who think that not using drugs makes them a better person. to each his own. (2) "just to chase a high"? last time i checked drug dealers are chasing money buddy. (3) let him rot in jail? i think youre confusing selling a little bit of pot with something that actually negatively affects people. get off your high horse you fucking loser.

Depends. I forget the school he's going to.. if it's BU he's fine, they know everyone at their school drinks and smokes, but some schools will reject your application after they've accepted you for stuff like that.
