[Switzerland] My experience dealing with LE

Hello everybody. This post is about the Swiss DEA, but I guess it can apply to a lot of agencies around the world. This is a story that happened to me over a bit more than a year.

Month 0

I had a few BTC left, so I logged into AlphaBay to see what I could buy with it. There was a fairly new vendor selling XTC pills by the unit, it was around $4 for one pill. I thought why the hell not, let's give this new vendor a chance. The pill never arrived, but I didn't feel like disputing for $4 so I finalized.

Month 2

2 months after the order, I received a letter from the Swiss DEA at home. I was summoned at the police station at a certain day and hour, and if I didn't come the police could come and get me. I knew it was for the pill, since it was the only package that didn't land, so I thought I didn't risk much.

Month 4

The day of my summoning was finally here. I went to the DEA station, and had a brief meeting with a young police agent. Around my age, fairly hot, and super nice. It felt more like a date than anything else, which is why I got fucked. The agent asked me basic informations about myself, age, address, occupation, etc., if I drank alcohol (when I said "like a student", the agent laughed and told me he knew what it meant, he had been a student too! Omg we're so alike bro!), and if I did drugs. I said I didn't do drugs, except smoke weed from time to time, and that I had tried "a pill, a couple years ago, but didn't like it". I thought a small lie was better than a huge one, but it was a mistake from my part. Anyway, after those questions the agent showed me a letter with my name and address on it, and told me it had been intercepted at the customs, with an XTC pill inside. I of course had no idea why there was an XTC pill sent to my address. The agent insisted a bit, but I kept denying everything so I ended up signing the summary of the interview and going home.

Month 6/7

Even though the DEA agent had told me that he believed me and didn't think I would get anything, I received a $1500 fine. For importation and consumption of drugs. I did an opposition (I don't know how it's called in english, but it's basically sending a letter saying you don't agree with the judgement/fine), and sent it a couple days later.

Month 9

The opposition was denied, I still had to pay the $1500. My lawyer friends told me I had two options :

Having faith in TOR and my encryption skillzz, I didn't pay the fine.

Month 15/16

I went in front of a judge. He asked me the same questions the DEA agent did, and I answered the same things. I had no idea why a letter with a pill inside was addressed to me, etc. He told me that since the letter was the only proof, I was acquitted from the importation.

BUT since I had told the DEA agent that I smoked weed from time to time, and when the judge asked me again I confirmed it, I still was guilty of weed consumption. My fine was reduced to $200, which is a win in my opinion, but it could have been $0 if I hadn't been so retarded.

Yup, I've learned the hard way to keep my fucking mouth shut no matter how cool the cops seem.


[9 Points] None:

Nicely done sir. There's no point in ever admitting anything to the police EVER. There's never been a case where it ends up helping.


[7 Points] freethepeopleman:

I'm kind of surprised they fined you for saying you smoked weed. Is just saying you did enough proof?

yesterday I masturbated in public. .....

Isn't it wonderful to pay your oppressors?

Police are not your friends. Just stfu and ask for your lawyer.


[2 Points] None:

Guilty of consuming a drug? Fuck, that's not an offence over here (uk)
