COUPLE SPENDS MONTH IN PRISON AFTER COPS FIND ‘WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE’ – FIND OUT WHY ALL CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED

 
Annadel Cruz, 26, and her companion Alexander Berstein, 30, spent an entire month in prison on cocaine trafficking charges after a state trooper in Pennsylvania pulled them over for traffic violations and found two “bricks” of a white substance they determined was cocaine.

Cruz maintained it was only homemade soap, not cocaine. When the official lab tests came back, officers realized a big mistake had been made. All charges were immediately dropped when it was determined the substance was, indeed, soap.

When a state trooper pulled Cruz over, he claimed he smelled marijuana in the car. Cruz actually admitted that she had smoked some weed before she left New York City, but not while she was driving. The trooper then asked if he could search the car, a request Cruz granted.

You should never admit to smoking marijuana for any reason to the police.

Time to file suit

Never admit to doing anything illegal. And never give them consent to search your person or your car.

Don't need consent to search you or your vehicle when you smell like weed.

How is the "innocent until proven guilty" thing working out for them? I'm thinking the State of Pennsylvania just bought the most expensive soap in history.

Why did they have this "soap" in a hidden compartment? Perhaps this "soap" is a new "bath salt".

But never agree to a police search of anything. Nothing good can come from that. You can only lose. No matter how honest you are they could find something you thought was no problem but they saw it as a problem.

So many laws no one knows them all.

112, what part of "factory compartment" don't you understand? It was in the glove box, center console, or similar compartment, which is where I'd put it if I were me.

D-Arse!
