[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a sophomore at Georgetown in the mid 90s I was arrested with a little less than a half pound of weed in my backpack.

My family spent close to $30,000 keeping me from going to jail. And I still plead guilty and was on probation for 2 years. This was a nonviolent crime and the search that turned up the pot was 100% illegal, though allowed anyway.

I'm a white male. Tell me about privilege. These pieces of sh*t will walk.[/quote]

If you were black you might still be in jail for that crime.[/quote]

Not if $30k was spent on an attorney.  You might still be in jail for this crime if you couldn't afford an competent lawyer (public defenders).[/quote]

Exactly and I am not a drug user, nor dealer now, nor was I one in the 90s, but was an attempt to distribute part of your charge? If so you were a drug dealer under the laws at the time and if you were a college student then you most likely were no longer a juvenile.  In Va you would still be tried as a felon "If a person is caught holding more than half an ounce but fewer than five pounds of cannabis, they may be charged with a Class 5 felony under Virginia law"

Obviously, you broke the law, why should you not have to face consequences, plenty of non-white people have spent a lot of time in jail for such non-violent offenses, perhaps because they got caught more than once with a bit too much weed in their possession, you know because they are more likely to get stopped and searched because they weren't white. Yes the fact that you only have one conviction for such an offense on your record and that you didn't go to jail is probably in large part due to your privilege... so stop your whining already and grow up your sound very immature still.  Perhaps your parents did you a bid disservice by bailing you out and preventing you from feeling the full ramifications of your criminal misconduct.  Your post screams of privilege and entitlement.
