A layperson’s guide to the drug-possession case process

Organized around the progression of a small-scale drug-possession case, this legal reference moves from a purchase and police encounter through arrest, jail, court proceedings, appeals, and sentencing. It also gathers material on searches, driving-related drug charges, phone calls from jail, bail hearings, internet privacy, and possession issues involving shared homes or social settings. The book uses celebrity cases, everyday examples, and the author’s professional experience to frame its overview of the criminal justice system. A state-by-state index addresses possession laws concerning marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, and methamphetamine; as a 2005 publication, it presents the legal information as covered in the book rather than a current-law reference.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an accessible overview of drug-possession cases and criminal procedure
  • Readers interested in search-and-seizure issues and police encounters
  • Those wanting a state-by-state possession-law index as presented in a 2005 guide

Book overview

Busted! is a funny, smart, subversive worst-case scenario guide for casual drug users and their tolerant friends.It's the Bible on how not to get busted and what to do if you are. Using celebrity busts, outrageous everyman busts, and the author's professional experience, Busted! is everything you need to know about the criminal justice system, Drug War style, before it's too late.

Like a Law & Order episode, the book takes the reader through a typical small-time drug possession case from committing the crime (the buy/recommending a dealer), to handling police encounters like a pro, to getting busted, to spending a night in jail, to fighting your drug bust, to pleading guilty, through trials and appeals, and, finally, punishment - with irreverent humor and expert advice all the way to the bitter end.

Busted! also includes drug possession law for the house party, the rave, your roommate's stash; search and seizure on the street, in your ride, in your apartment, and up your ass. Drug War Driving Lessons covers DUI's and drugged driving; also learn how to make your phone call from jail count, how to ace your bail hearing, and protect your Internet privacy. The Dope Law Index includes possession law for marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and methamphetamine for all 50 states. BUSTED! helps the casual drug user to know his rights, walk the thin grey line between legal and illegal and ultimately stay out of jail.
