I carry my pills around too in a different container or just loose in my purse pocket but I'm innocent until proven guilty

After knowing you were ok I couldn't help but laugh

Can you get a copy of your mug shot?

judy · 01-24-2011, 11:34 AM

It's filed away, along with my fingerprints and...are you ready for this? a picture of the drugs.com description of librium AND a photocopied picture of one of my librium!

I really did not break the law according to this definition of the charge that I was not carrying it the original bottle:

3345¹
Possession of Controlled Substances by Ultimate Users Original Container

Except for the purpose of current use by the person or animal for whom such substance was prescribed or dispensed, it shall be unlawful for an ultimate user of controlled substances to possess such substance outside of the original container in which it was dispensed. Violation of this provision shall be an offense punishable by a fine of not more than fifty dollars.

I am taking a copy of this to court, but probably won't show it if the fine is fair.

I still can't believe this is happening to you!!! I'd definitely take this paper to court with you!! And I definitely wouldn't say anything to the judge that was negative!!!!!

judy · 01-26-2011, 08:25 AM

Yes, your honor, yes your honor, yes your honor.

Just practicing.

I go tonight and I will be glad to get this over with. I got another label from the drug store too.

Judy, you are so funny! I hope everything goes your way! Let us know.

JJJ · 01-26-2011, 08:45 PM

Did everything go smoothly?

judy · 01-27-2011, 07:38 AM

Court was closed! Small town life! I drove over, about 1/2 hour trip, parked in an empty parking lot, and on the door were two notices. The judge for yesterday was sorry, but court was closed due to a family emergency. Our next appointments are Feb. 9th. The judge from yesterday had also posted a note that, due to possible weather problems, court was closed.

It seems that judge 1 is there every other Wednesday from 5 PM on, and judge 2, every other Tuesday from 9 AM on. This is not a high crime area!

I have to call the courthouse because Jessie's birthday is February 9th and I certainly can't tell her about this! Maybe I can see the Tuesday judge.

But...I found a Walmart about 10 minutes away!!!

Every cloud has a silver lining!

How are you? Good to see you on here!

judy · 03-10-2011, 06:53 AM

Phew!!! Done with this at last!

The charge was dismissed, the headlight ticket was dismissed, and the judge, who was a funny, very nice woman, the ADA, and the court officer all laughed at the other charge (carrying meds in a non-prescription bottle). She was very honest and said they gave that one to me because they need money, so she gave me a $20 fine because if she didn't fine me at all, they would get on her! The fine can go up to $50. I have no record, which is really what I cared about.

The judge is originally a cop from Bed Stuy (a VERY rough Brooklyn neighborhood), so we compared war stories from my teaching and her policing experiences. She also peppered her stories saying the f word more times than in the movie Goodfella!

All in all, I have to say that it was a fun time, I met some nice people, and I left, with it all behind me, and with birthday wishes from everyone in the court!

Just goes to show you...anything can be fun!

JJJ · 03-10-2011, 09:57 AM

Oh Judy I'm so glad to hear everything went well.

Happy Birthday!!!!
