Busted!

[EasyPoster]

Well. It turns out my roomate was allegedly selling do not mention rec drugs pleaseand attracted some attention to our house. Anyways, the DEA raided our house and my roomate was out, lucky bastard. The cops seized almost $2,000 worth of gear and several other illegal substances which weren't mine.

Anyways, I took the wrap for the whole thing, not like I had much of choice, my roomate just happens to be my brother. Now i'm on house arrest until my trial which is in god knows how long. Anyways, the judge won't give me permission to go to the gym, does anyone have advice on how I can maintain my swol while i'm stuck here. Anyone have a training program to suggest which uses strictly body weight? Thank you guys.

Sorry about your situation....Yes, you can use your own weight to try to maintain your mass and make sure your eat a lot of clean healthy foods (this is most important).

What would I do? Use your brothers credit card and buy yourself a home gym, lol.

I would think your brother would step up,You did
Good luck Bro

[juju]

Best of luck to you bro.

[scaramouche]

why not try isometrics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_exercise or dynamics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-Tension there is no substitute for real weights but short of spending a few k on fancy equipment its prolly ur best bet

here r some substitutes,one legged squats/calf raise just need to hold a small amount of weight,chinny bar,press-ups/with feet supported/raised,marine press-ups (handstand press-ups),use ur imagination im sure other things will spring to mind,good luck mate

Look up Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey. Though his stuff isn't designed to pack mass on, it's better than nothing and you've got alot of exercise choices.

Time to get creative bro, you can do it like they do when your locked up two trash bags filled with water and a broomstick for a bar.

DEA made the bust? Your Bro must have been allegedly selling a TON of drugs to attract a federal raid and the fact that your brother was "out." It doesn't matter who's "in" or "out," hell, if they raided the house and no one was home, do you think that there would be no one to press charges against? If you're stuck at home for some reason, I'm sorry to hear that, but your story sounds strange at a minimum.

Also, why don't you know your trial date and how has a judge compelled you to stay in your house before any adjudication? You must be some serious flight risk. You need an attorney as it seems that the justice system has failed you in a very bad way. H. Corpus, speedy trial, actual right to trial before rights are ***rived......I am assuming you are in the U.S. If so, you have rights, many of which are being violated. So, if you are telling the truth, I'd be alot more concerned about how hard you are getting F'd by the justice system than keeping your swol.

[kynetguy]

^^^ What he said.

This story is either BS or you are getting hosed.

#1 - If your brother doesn't man up to his shit, then he would get a serious ass beat down in my neck of the woods. That's plain p*ssy if you ask me.

#2 If you admitted that they were yours, then you are a dumb ass.

In the future kiddos, remember your 5th admendment right. You cannot be forced to incriminate yourself. In a situation like this, they are coming to raid you because of a person who is "suspected" (DEA is NOT going to roll until they KNOW who it is, what it is and its going to be a LOT of stuff they are after) to be selling. They are not going to pin it on you unless you stupidly say "its all mine."

Where is Myth Busters. . . .I think this story could be busted. It smells fishy. There are some partial truths and some untruths here. DEA does not roll like that.

Some corrections from a lawyer:

1. It's not uncommon to not have a trial date set. Trial dates aren't set until the close of arraignment, preliminary hearing, discovery and various motions. It sounds like it's still early on in the process, so it's unlikely there would be any trial date yet.

2. Adjudication is not necessary for incarceration pending trail. In fact, he is fortunate the Judge allowed him house arrest and didn't require him to spend the time in jail. Absent bond, many defendants charged with violent felonies or considered a flight-risk, are locked up pending trial.

3. Right to speedy trial doesn't bar applicable statutory limitations periods, which generally, ***ending on state, require a trial within 90 to 120 days. Further, even those periods may be "tolled" by delays.

In sum, he is not necessarily being f'd by the system.

[nhl1]

FYI if you are on house arrest and this is a DEA investigation they are probably monitoring all of your forms of communication. ie internet activity. Watch what you say and do as any of it can be used to incriminate you. I love the land of America but absolutely cant stand its form of government and constant restraining of our both constitutional and God given rights. That however is a whole other story.

Okay well one more thing too add, your cell phone even if its turned off, can be remotely activated and the mic powered on so long as the battery is attached and they can listen in on any conversation in the area close enough for the mic to pic up. Its beyond f*cking belief what the government is up too these days. If you dont believe me u can see for yourself right here http://news.com.com/FBI+taps+cell+ph...3-6140191.html Its not just the mob and mafia either I have heard of other people having this bs used against them as well. Be careful what u say at all times right now man.

I never claimed that he WAS being F'd by the system as I only have limited knowledge of his particular circumstances. He stated that he "took the wrap (sic)" as he had no choice and that he is now awaiting trial. Taking the "wrap," as I know it would mean that he either confessed or has already entered a plea, the first of which would start the trial phase tolling and the second of which would mean that he is due a sentencing hearing pronto. I did, mention his bein one hell of a flight risk and perhaps he had no bond to post. Also, Counselor, the DEA made the arrest according the the drafter of the thread and I would make the assumption that he is being tried in Federal Court, rather than State (I've forgotten most of my Civ Pro and Conflicts so you may be correct in assuming that state laws will determine the relevant time period for him to receive a Constitutionally timely trial. However, he "took the wrap" so I see no need for discovery, or for that matter, even a trial. A sentencing hearing seems to be all he is due but I have only the info posted here.

Not trying to be a dick but as a fellow JD, mustn't you admit that the story sounds a little strange? If he just wanted to get some home gym ideas, he could have just posted that. If the DEA really did kick his door down and pin him with his brother's drugs then I think he should get competent counsel as he doesn't seem to have had it. JMHO

Glad to have some additional legal muscle on the board. There used to be a nice cop here who liked to argue with me about probable cause but I haven't seen him in a while. And if you see me post something that rings incorrectly, (and by the way, anything and everything I post is for entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as giving legal countenance, advice, nor is it to be in any way construed as forming any attorney-client relationship), call me out.......I'm always learning.

My last trainer suggested a book called 'never gymless' - i think that was the title

I agree with everything you said except the point about no need for discovery/motions etc... If I were representing him, the first thing I'd do is move to set-aside any confession. This can be done by, among other things, proving the confession was obtained illegally (fruit of the poisened tree). This will require discovery and motions.

Otherwise, likewise, I can take it as much as I can give it.

[Geezy]

after having a few run-ins with the law in the past, Ive learned that NO ONE (except your children) are worth your freedom. I learned this the HARD way trust me!

[kynetguy]

(and by the way, anything and everything I post is for entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as giving legal countenance, advice, nor is it to be in any way construed as forming any attorney-client relationship),

Now I have no doubt you hold a JD. because who else would put a disclaimer like that on a steroid forum.

You are correct, the confession, if that's what he means should be the first thing that his atty tries to attack. And, yes, that would require motions, and perhaps, a lengthy discovery process. I have no animosity towards the cops per se, but when they say things like,"yeah, we made PC so we could search" or as in Wardlaw /wardlow?, there are so many instances that do give proper rise to PC but the cops often times are articulating the reasons that gave rise to their supposed PC after the fact and only when a bust has occured. Yes, the cops have a tough and important job, not to mention dangerous, but the reality is that you don't "make PC"; it is either their and the cop can then and there articulate the factual or observable circumstances that a crime was being committed or was riding the line which typically only allows for a Terry frisk (unless you're engaged in a crime that gives rise to a search like DUI, driving a certain MPH over a speed limit, etc..

For all the bros out there.....DO NOT keep your gear in your car unless you have to transport it, and even then, don;t take your whole damn cycle with you, AND, drive the damn sped limit! Further, if you are ever asked to consent to a search of your automobile/car/mobile home, etc...the anser is "No." Very politely and if the officer(s) pull the old "well, we'll just have to call in a warrant if you won't consent," you answer should politely be: " Okay, Officer, I will wait for you to do so." Then, Shut the F up until you are released from the temporary detainment or you get an atty.

Be polite, SOBER, and remember, it is perfectly accceptable for the cops to Lie to you. Strange on the surface but the case law does flesh it out to my particular satisfaction. Again, my disclaimer, see supra/infra note posted 6/3/2007 regarding any inference of my offering legal advice. I got all this at wiki :-). Ha!

I agree. Search laws vary slightly from state to state. But in KY, they can only search your vehicle on 3 situations:

1) You give consent. (I gave consent 1 time and 1 time only. I did this because I had ZERO doubt anything would be found. 45 minutes or so later I found myself standing by my car, everything laying outside and having to put all my shit back in after the cop removed it all.)

2) They have a search warrant. (unless they have no doubt they will find something, its not likely that will happen)

3) The arrest you. Of course they have to have a reason to arrest you.

But no, never give consent. Even if they won't find anything. For me its general principle.

And for the same reason I will never take a field sobriety test. Not even a portable breathalyzer. Mainly because i don't drink. I decline field test and politely say "No officer, i will not get out of my vehicle and make a fool of myself when I know I have not been drinking. If you are certain I have been drinking then you may arrest me and take me in for a breathalyzer." I have never been arrested after saying that.

Key is to never ever fail the attitude test.
