Funny thing about what Saul said about "dealer amounts" and "cops always having their thumb on the scale" So I had to get a lawyer for something. A minor infraction. The lawyer told me a story about how he had a client busted for weed, just over the "dealer amount," and what he did was delay the trial as long as possible and then motion to have the evidence re-examined. By the time they properly re-weighed the evidence, it had dried out enough that it no longer was a "dealer amount" and got the guy down to simple possession. That's a very Saul Goodman kinda move

[@Will21st]

[@PinkCampfire]

[@dlkaran]

I did not get the, "thumb and scale" narrative. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@WayneMercy]

@@dlkaran what Saul meant by the thumb and scale narrative is that cops will sneakily put their thumb down on the scale and apply pressure while weighing drugs to make it record a higher number than it actually is. So for example the guy may have only had 20 grams of meth on him, but the cop pushes the scale down harder with his thumb to record 30 grams and thus it’s a more serious charge

Saul Goodman reminds me so much of him. Quick witted, a hustler and wheeler-dealer, infamous around the local courts. He talked me into letting him represent me on a speeding ticket in traffic court. The first thing that he did was talk to the bailiff to get my case pulled first. Then, when I was called and he appeared, the judge started snickering. He knew he was going to be entertained. BTW, he got me off with a warning. Sadly, he passed away a couple years ago due to cancer. A big loss to the courts.
