This is natural selection at work. Let's look at all of the subject's bad decisions that led him into this situation: * Guy accepts illegal narcotics * Guy decides to carry those illegal narcotics around in his vehicle, the least-defensible place possible * Guy gives a ride to somebody with drug paraphernalia * Guy then drives fast enough to attract police attention At this point, he's riding pretty dirty. How many of you would put yourself in this precarious situation? Hopefully that number is zero. He follows it up with: * Allowing the search * Pleading no-contest * Violating his parole An educated guy agrees to a search WHILE CARRYING? And a successful Merrill broker couldn't afford an attorney for this relatively minor charge? And decides that no-contest is the best option here? The fact is that as soon as he accepted the drugs at the concert, he accepted the penalty of being shunned by companies. As long as companies have the prerogative to not hire drug users, being involved with drugs in any way is going to have a negative impact. The fact that he then handled every other decision in the process incorrectly does not help him either.
