Could I “NARC” on a business to get my charges dropped?

john asked:


I know it is common practice to reduce or dismiss charges if you give the court something they want such as a major drug dealer….meth lab….murderer ect…..What if I rolled on a business or two in the collection industry who are violating federal laws and consumer rights? I only have a couple misdemeanors pending that werent that severe. Is there a chance that they may accept info for a dismissal. Plus how does that usually work?

    They would have to be related to your case. For instance, if you are a minor drug dealer and get caught in a drug sting, they might make a deal with you to get someone who is a bigger fish than you in the same operation. However, if you are pulled over for drunk driving and offer to tattle on a drug dealer you know in order to get a reduced sentence, they would likely laugh at you. The cases are totally unrelated, dealing with different departments with different agendas. Talk to your lawyer if you think your case and another are related; you are paying your lawyer a pile of money to handle questions like this.

    You can try but it may not work.

    If you only have a couple of misdemeanors you will get off with probation anyway.

    this is one of the many problems with our legal system people are not owning up to their mistakes, they want to look at what someone else is doing. there should be no deals everybody goes to trial if your convicted you do the time after which its over meaning you don’t drag this conviction around after doing the time. also ratting should be a crime
