I was pulled over and had meth on me. The cop took the drugs and told me he wasnt going to charge me today and it’s been a few weeks he came by to see me yester day and gave me a choice between helping them or taking a chance with the magistrate. If I help is there any way he can still charge me even if he said he wouldn’t.
Did the officer provide any written agreement stating that you won't be charged if you cooperate?
No he never gave me a ticket and he never had me sign anything.
Did the officer mention any specific conditions for your cooperation? Without a written agreement, it's generally possible for charges to be filed later.
