I never got in a fight only one senior that was my friend got in a fight with one of the other seniors that robbed my house. The cops came and several of us were arrested. I got probation, community service, and 3 counsoling classes, I even spent close to 3 grand on a lawyer. At the end of my trial I felt lucky. Another story, I got pulled over with two of my friends, I was the passenger the cops found a bowl, no weed, and the kid confessed it was his, I got to walk cause I had nothing to do with it, I wasnt high and neither of the two were, they got a lawyer and both had to pay an excessive fine, do community service, probation, and the counsoling classes. All of us were under 18 at the time. I could go on and on. The cops here are known the be ********. They are verbally aggressive to every person in town, young or old.
Paying fines, doing probations is getting it easy.
First offenses always get it easy. It mostly depends on the amount of drugs tho.

Re: Defamation of character, slander, libel
Drinking on the bus in 8th grade is a lot different than confronting someone that robbed your house.
Im just basing the hardness of the cops off the surrounding towns. If I live in a town over from mine it would be less of a penalty with marijuana cases. The reason my town is more strict is because, we have the Phillips Exeter Academy here. Kids come from all around the world. A lot of money is involved and they want good police in this town. Nothing wrong with that but theres always the ethical cop and the unethical cop. And I guarantee if you came to this town and expierenced the police you would agree that the abuse of authority is unreasonable. My physics teacher is a cop in Hampton, NH. Which is on the east coast and has several nice beaches. A lot of people from Mass come up to party and he knows that Exeter is a hard place for a teen to grow up in. Many people in this town have said as a joke, "When has it become a crime to be a teenager?"

Oh that reminds me, my friend took a mini apple computer minus mouse, keyboard, and monitor and wires and he went to jail for 30 days. Also my friend got caught with 2 ounces of weed with intent to distribute and he got 60 days in jail brought down from 6 months.

Re: Defamation of character, slander, libel
Those are all felonies, of course they're gona get more than a slap on the wrist. Any type of felony will get jail time.
It's still not hard.
My dad was an apprentice to a drug mission about 15 years ago. He got 2 years in jail, all for giving my uncle a ride to deliver a few ounces of coke.

Re: Defamation of character, slander, libel
considering punishments are decided by the courts, i dont see how the cops being douchebags have anything to do with what kind of trouble they are in. they got charged with whatever crime they commited and the judge decides what kind of penalty they get.
