LE tested my Amphetamine tested as Oxycodone!

Had a follow up meeting recently about previously confiscated substances. Test results of such results were discussed. Some were correct to what they were claimed to be. Alprazolam tested as Valium. Not too much of a surprise as this world can be sketchy at times. Then amphetamine in the order of magnitude of grams tested as, wait for it, oxycodone. Such a ridiculous result that raised a red flag in me that how bad LE's tests can be.

First off, they're not even in the same category. They do not resemble the other chemically. Through prior use of the substance in question it was obvious it was a stimulant. Marquis tested to a strong orange redish, a sign for the presence of amphetamine.

Anyone have any input on LE's methods and or what possibly could have been in there to be missed by lower level tests but spark a oxy flag on "advanced" tests?

Few things to clarify:

The marques testing was from a previous date,and not by LE.

LE did lab tests and not field tests. No idea about the nature of the test

a friend of mine got arrested with a whole bunch of goodies (non DNM related), two of which were MDMA and DMT. cops said both the MDMA and DMT tested as heroin

Had mxe, attempted to charge me with crack cocaine saying it tested as that

They are idiots and I am gonna guess this wasnt a gcms test. Good luck regardless..wouldn’t want to be caught with either.

I also got caught with amphetamine. The police went through about 10 field test kits before they got one that turned the slightest shade of blue. I got charged with 4 felony's related to cocaine. All for 200mg of amphetamine. They were dropped because I pleaded guilty for misd. paraphernalia for my MG scale. Fuckin cop said on the way to jail he was glad he got a cocaine dealer off the streets. Stupid fuckin drug laws man. Now im gonna do 45 days cause fuck probation fees. The police also filed paperwork before court to move and dispose of my evidence in the vault. Probably because they knew it wasn't cocaine and didn't want it tested by the state lab.

any way for a good lawyer to get the falsely tested substance info to be thrown out due to, ya know, their lack of adequate facilities to determine the supposed crime?


[1 Points] weedandcocaineplease:

They're prolly using simple ELISA tests. The ones where you just snap an ampule inside the plastic container and look for specific color change. The dumb fucks are prolly not waiting long enough for the right color change, they don't give too much of a fuck to do their job, or they're just not interpreting the results accurately. This is mind blowing tho. Op, were these field tests or lab tests?

well at least we know theyre not eating our drugs.. otherwise they would never mistake an upper for a downer

I work in pharmaceuticals and we use the same testing that most LE uses but if you are in a small community/rural the testing might not be as advanced. A lot of drug testing devices will react to anything that is considered to be in a certain genre/drug class it's just a cheap reagent that usually turns purple for anything in a drug class. In order for anyone to find out what a drug is made with it needs to go to a lab (if LE did this themselves and they are wrong they are in a lot of trouble such as an in house lab) the outside lab will use a mass spec machine and other pharmaceutical reagents to get an accurate result. I have heard of forced degradation being used in substances that are not identifiable even with the latest technology. Chances are the oxy was exposed at some point to the amphetamine by sweaty hands contaminating the drug. If it's MDMA it's cut so many different ways and with so many different things it will show all of the cut. All pharmaceutical drugs generic or not follow the approved recipe for the drug that is manufactured which can be referenced in the FDA orange book all the drug tests are based off the APIs (Active pharmaceutical Ingredient) and how much is detected to cause the chemical reaction. Personally if I were in an issue with LE over chemical analysis I'd have my lawyer demand it be sent out to an unbiased lab such as ECA Laboratories it could be a huge loophole if the drugs are being misidentified by the popo. Not sure if this helps.
