what was it like for you? I got a possession charge last year for heroin. the cops had the nerve to forfeiture my car (which my lawyer later got back for $1000) even though they never usually do that for simple possession charges. I was crying because it was my first arrest, so that made me look higher than I really was in my mugshot.
when I was in the booking area, the Department of Corrections guys kept calling me up in front of everyone there to talk to me. they wouldn't do this with anyone else; I guess I was interesting because I'm so young and naive/innocent looking yet had the horrific charge of heroin possession. they were trying to say things like "oh that charge is 7 to 10 years minimum, at least" and "do you really want to end up a prostitute like all these other girls here?"
And to add even more insult, there was one of those elementary school tours of the jail going on when I was in booking. I was sitting closest to them. So I got to be ogled by 30 5th graders learning about the wonders of jail. It was like that scene from The Hangover except not funny.
I got a medical wristband for being an opiate addict but all they gave me were some stupid sleeping pills. I was only in there until 10:00 that night so my withdrawals didn't get too bad.
oh and heres another fucked up thing: they found rigs in my car, and when they asked my ex boyfriend and I where we got them from, he told them the Target that sold them to us. after that, the Target people wouldn't sell them anymore because they said their "policy changed," so I'm pretty sure those douchebag cops went and told that Target to stop selling rigs! They probably thought they were doing a great thing, preventing junkies from getting fresh rigs.
I want to see what other peoples experiences have been with getting arrested and drugs. so please share!
