SOP for drug court violations. They set the bail at 100,000 and if you do get bailed out, they immediately throw you right back in and keep your 100K. When Emily signed the papers for drug court she agree that one of the penalties for violating the stipulations would be re-incarceration and re in statement of the original charges.

Showerthought: I bet the police feel pretty stupid having to arrest people for weed these days. Like ~50% of people smoke it, its just silly to be spending resources on weed at this point. If you caught me and took my weed you know what i would do? Go buy more weed from one of the 100 people i know that sell it.
$11,762,682,554 spent, and 0 results. GJ guys!! LOL

I'm with Christopher on the weed statement. What a waste of time and money. As an American it only matters where you are standing as to whether or not you are arrested. I do think the NYS law is a tool law enforcement uses to arrest you when you piss them off. I do hope the police use some kind of discretion and confiscate the leafy green substance with a warning before sending you on your way. Maybe, just maybe for every arrest we read about there is a warning to someone.
Don't even go to..... if you don't like the law, change it..... you can not do that in NY the nanny state, ie SAFE ACT........
