Reply to comment by stuloch in TIFU at a strip club involving drugs and massive credit card charges. by HurrySad4253

Yeah, but I mean, I was the one who took them. To me, that means I'm involved in the whole thing would it not?

You're a victim. Think of how kids at parties take drugs. They don't go to jail. You don't still have drugs. If you buy bad drugs and get harmed the dealer goes down, not you who took the drugs.

Um. What? This is Dallas, USA. Get a lawyer. Cops will happily charge you for using drugs, and MAYBE go after the club.

There's no such crime as having previously used drugs. Not in Texas anyway. I'm not saying they'll be helpful though. Probably speaking through a lawyer is the best advice in here.

willfully consuming drugs constitutes possession. A confession can negate the need for physical evidence. Follicle testing and receipts can be used to verify the drug and location.

Then when they're off duty, they'll go to the club as customers.

Ask yourself what the crimes are for drugs.
Posession
Distribution
Influence

Now ask yourself how many of those you currently can be charged with, and how many they can currently be charged with.

Also, isn't anything you signed while intoxicated not legally binding? Am I imagining that?

Call the police.

Won't do any good. The club donates to the cops. And / or the girls service them.

A guy I know got hit for 44k at a club in New Orleans. The last thing he says he remembers when they took him in the back room was a Tony Montana mound of coke on a table.

Cops literally laughed at him when he called.

Yea, no. That's extortion on a "career-making bust" level.. If the cops laughed, call the fucking FBI. They'd eat that case up.

Did they exactly explain all the side effects of the drugs before hand ? Like, say, alteration of judgement ?

If the drugs are legal AND you took them knowing that you could do huge mistakes afterwards, then maybe you deserve what you got charged with.

If not, maybe, just maybe, they have done things they shouldn't have. Also, forbidding your non-intoxicated friend to come and meet you was so they could manipulate you without him protecting you guys. It's 100% a trap you fell in, and there should be ways to make a judge (or better, a jury) recognize that.

It’s not a crime to take or buy drugs, but definitely is to sell them
