As someone who previously faced 67 years on a drug case and didn't snitch, I agree. We all make our own choices, mine got me here, and it's my problem to deal with. I'm not trading 1 year of my life for 3-5 of other peoples (which is what it would amount to if you rat, reduced sentence and everyone else goes down for longer), what sense does that make?

In prison was actually a good time I was a heavy Hitter with hands I met a lot of good dudes n lot of bad dudes . The bad ones are the young kids they will get into more trouble n don’t think about what could happen . The lifers were the most grounded if you wanted real advise and I took rhere advise and changed me forever but in a good way . Yea I got High in prison but never touched the crap when I got out .

[@-NFiN8-]

I know a former dealer who had a successful 20 year run, got raided twice and beat both cases, and never spent a single day in prison. His advice is that if you ever get arrested for drugs, this is what you should do: As soon as they cuff you and read you your rights, say, "I understand these rights and I hereby exercise my right to remain silent and I want my attorney now." This is called invoking. After you invoke, the police aren't allowed to ask you questions even if they wanted to, and it prevents anything you say from being used against you in court. After you invoke, do not answer any questions or say anything. Just sit there quietly in the back of the police car. Next, they'll take you to the station and put you in an interrogation room. These rooms are audio and video recorded. Just sit there quietly with your head down and take a nap for a while. When the detective comes in, they will ask you again if you want to talk to them. Don't do it. Tell them "NO i do not want to talk to you, I want my lawyer." Then put your head back down and go back to napping. They will get the point pretty fast that you know your rights and not to bother trying to get you to incriminate yourself, and leave the room. Next, another cop will come in to cuff you up again and transport you to the jail. Under no circumstances should you resist or break your silence no matter what they say to you. They might try to intimate or scare you, don't fall for it. Just quietly let them take you to jail. When you get to jail, they will either book and release you or lodge you, depending on the severity of your charges, how overpopulated they are, etc... Just let them go through their process. Do not sign anything. Do not answer any questions. Tell them again that you want your lawyer. Worst case, you might have to spend a few days in jail, then they will either release you on pretrial or let you post bail. But if you remained silent and didn't do anything to incriminate yourself, even with a public defender, you will have an excellent chance of beating your case outright or getting a very favorable plea deal.
