Criminal charges... and the criminals who committ them

So in court yesterday there was a guy with no lawyer. He was charged with poss. of pot and poss. of paraphanelia. He sits down with the prosecutor and accepts the offer. In this situation the lawyers are all sitting about 3 feet from the guy as he makes this agreement, because the prosecutor takes some unrepresented people before he'll talk to the lawyers. So, we're just quietly going over our notes and the police statements and such... but we all look up and start to pay attention when we hear the prosecutor's voice raised, "What do you mean you want your pipe back? Are you kidding me? You can't have that back its ILLEGAL!"

Dude asked for his pipe back. And he kept taking about how it was art and beautiful....and part of his glass collection.

Bwwaaahhhh.

So I was sitting with the probation officer (He apparently kept up his irritation of not getting the pipe returned to him when he went to see the probation officer) and the desk Sergeant and laughing about this moron, and someone suggested it would be funny to get his pipe from the evidence room and take a video of it being smashed to pieces with a hammer and put it on you tube and send him the link. I suggested mailing it as a million pieces to him, with the video.

I just couldn't believe someone who was clearly in his 30s would be THAT ignorant.
