Q: My girl got stoped with my digitalbscale in her car she is in drug court what can i do to fix this because its my fault
The detective gave her a week to do a controlled buy or she gets charged
A: It is not illegal to have a digital scale, even if you are in drug court. Having her do a controlled buy is out of line in my opinion for what at best is a misdemeanor, and most likely not a crime at all. The caveat is if the scales had residue that presumptively tested positive. Still, I would be very surprised drug court would kick her out. She may have to do a sanction in jail or increase her testing.
