Next time check “yuh next boyz,” pockets before you go out in his clothes ace boy!!
Its called being SAFE.
Lol what..? Checking your friends pants for narcotics before going out in them is called being safe? I wouldn’t say people generally get in trouble or are “unsafe” after not checking pockets haha. Just sad the court wasted so much time processing and arresting this young man regardless or his guilt. $800 isn’t enough to cover court costs. Better resources can be spent stopping its importation and sales rather then guys caught with such minute amounts. On the spot ticket and confiscation for possession of personal amounts of hard drugs is the way to go imo. Deal with the real criminals profiting from this.
