Nice, made me smile

This story touches me personally. I was pulled over by Nebraska State Patrol for running a stop sign and they "conveniently" found a piece of trash on the back floorboard of my car that they say tested positive for meth. The wrote me up on one Felony charge of possession and released me. Then the next day I was pulled over again by an unmarked vehicle from the State Patrol and taken to the station where a narcotics officer from the WING Task Force basically threatened me with 20 years in prison and a healthy fine for the original charge. He told me "help yourself out" and wanted me to go make buys from some of their targets. Thankfully I talked at length with my parents and a lawyer and was able to have the charge dismissed entirely. It was the most frightening experience I've ever had holding a felony summons in my hand and then talking with the narcotics officer. I had a hypothetical gun to my head and for a while felt suicidal. It's predatory how they go after people and create criminals. I could understand flipping a high level dealer or distributor, but for personal use marijuana is absurd. That's why I DO NOT back the blue. They are the enemy!

It's messed up. I got a OVI and refusal of a chemical test in Cincinnati Ohio. I had no keys in the car, it was parked in a parking spot, no drugs no alcohol, nothing like that. Nothing illegal. I had license insurance and all that, that's the only reason I got the OVI. Had I not had a license I wouldn't have got one, It wasn't even my car, and no keys in it. Crazy. I had hypertension level 4 of the heart and was severely dehydrated, I woke up 14 hours later , in the hospital with a OVI. Having no idea what happened . It's crazy that was in 2019. I fought it for 18 months, spent at least $9,000 in lawyer fees alone. I still got convicted even with my medical papers, the body cam footage, proved the cop never spoke to me and he forged my signature. Also, I had a witness. The 911 call , everything. Still got convicted. The judge wouldnt even look at the TV when my lawyer put on the copa body came footage. She asked to put it on, ans he said "if you must" ... I was also denied a jury trial, I was on the docket for it like 5 times, and the judge would keep holding me until last, even tho I had a paid lawyer and it's supposed to go in alphabetical order, like the judge would hold me until the jury was sent home, everytime, at least 5 times and then would say, you can have a bench trial... So the 6th or 7th time I just agreed to it, I was tired of paying my lawyer $475 every day she sat there with me, and I was missing work, plus it was a pain to get to court anyway because I had a suspended license. Judge wouldn't grant me a driving privileges or anything, not even to come to court. Lol like wtf. Wouldn't even give me a plea deal .. it was so messed up and crooked its crazy. Sentence to 180 days and a year license suspension and a year probation.. And mind you, this was my first conviction EVER, I loved in this city for 33 years!!!!. I know people with more than one OVi and never spent more than 2 nights in jail... I couldn't believe it. I moved to a different state. Lol, right across the river, my warrants don't show up here, but I still can't drive. It sucks!!! IL never be able to get a license unless I go back to Ohio and do 6months in jail. Noooo wayy!!! They'll have me in there with predators and bullies and make me a victim again, I think about how much that judge changed my life everyday. I try not to. It's just so crazy !!!!

BUT, when it comes to having a beer or buying a pack of cigarettes, they can’t do that until they’re 21 because they’re too immature and don’t know better. 🤯 Funny how government sees them as mature and immature whenever it’s convenient.

But the mere existence of such a network is enough to get the man the death sentence which is why he's so vietmately denying.

If you stay quiet and ask for a lawyer right away, it’s out of the polices hands. They have to give YOUR counsel all of the reason behind your arrest. And more often then not, your case is dropped. So, never talk to police they are NOT lawyers. Never talk to them. Always ask for a lawyer because it takes your case out of the hands of the police.

​​@@Dirty2Clean1980that's true, that's why I wouldn't want to live that life. It always seems to end up in prison or disaster. They say as well when it comes to big time gangsters or whatever, the people you can least trust are the people around you. I'd rather just stay out of that life and be as far away from the things that go on in it. The saying crime doesn't pay is very true as well

This is exactly what I've come to expect from government officials in the US.

“As a reward, for all his snitching” is crazy😂😂😂😂

I am beyond angry about this. I had no idea. This is so wrong and needs to be taken to the supreme court and federally banded.

You should have known.

I was born in 1972. The TV shows I grew up with, whether they were news programs or fictionalized shows all referred to _"snitches"_ as people involved in criminal activity who used inside information to cut deals for leniency. Usually, the so-called snitch was either involved in the same crimes as the person(s) they informed on or something slightly less than that. *Today the act of "snitching" has been manipulated by street gangs to keep innocent people, potential witnesses, in check! If you see and/or hear a crime in progress or find out something about a crime after the fact, contacting the police about it is called snitching when it has nothing to do with that!*

This originally aired on television. It should be closed captioned. NOT auto-generated!

Laws making weed illegal seems prehistoric. Laws making a small amount of weed a felony allows law enforcement to prey upon kids to engage in the dangerous act of becoming an informant. When I lived in Arizona if I recall correctly, any amount of weed was a felony, even just a seed. It was nice to see Arizona wake up and legalize it. Hopefully all states wake up and follow suit.

Problem is some informants are legit being told things and others just trying to help themselves.

Another fantastic show by 60 Minutes. Thank you for all the great content and reporting over the years. This is why marijuana needs to be legalized FEDERALLY.... legal in one state vs. 20 yr felony next door? This is so awful. Please get this done. I have absolute RESPECT for the staff reforming the prison/legal system. Every thinking person knew this would happen with the closing of mental health institutions/programs I guess the simplistic 'lock 'em up and throw away the key' philosophy hasnt worked too well either. Its time to listen to the smart people.

22:51 23:56 he’s so full of S!! They’re not putting themselves in the same degree of risk when purchasing as non-informants because they don’t show up wearing A WIRE or with cops following their every move. Very dishonest man.

This topic needs to be updated .The IL legislature has made it illegal for currently imprisoned people to serve as witnesses.

These lawyer and judges say we shouldn’t trust what snitches say….but we should believe them if it benefits the prosecution. That’s funny

How's it working out in Cook County these days??? Ridiculous

I had a sibling who was hooked on addictive drugs by his "friends," and those same "friends," once my sibling was addicted, used him to deal drugs to support his habit. He was busted dealing drugs, because he wasnt a professional criminal, and was forced to snitch on his dealers to avoid maximum criminal penalties. It is nothing short of a miracle that he wasn't shot or killed so that the DA could look good with drug busts. Our system is set up to profit the criminal justice system at the expense of victims.
