This is a question The Police II

Enzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

well
A lot of people get done for dealing when they were only sorting their mates out. For most people drugs are a joint enterprise, but the law does not distinguish.

OK - that's a fair point.
But the lying in court bit stands.

Contempt of court
Contempt is exactly the appropriate reaction to a system which rates buying a few pills for mates as more than twice as bad as permanent disfigurement.

It's a little more serious than that
It's perjury actually - max sentence 7 years.

(HINT: it's generally a good idea to get a solicitor and get them to do the talking)

You seem unable to distinguish
courts (or law in abstracto) from laws (or law in concreto).

Because most "straights"
get their image of drug dealers from the Daily Mail* : an image of slavering, depraved, disease-ridden wrecks who loiter around school gates like dementors' embarassing relatives, forcing sweet little kiddies to inject heroin through dirty needles while wheezing and cackling through the broken, yellowed remnants of their few remaining teeth.

...which explains the shock they feel when they discover that drug dealers are, in fact, their own clean-limbed, glossy-haired sons and daugthers, pony-club membership, swimming trophies and Duke Of Edinburgh's award certificates and all.

* Or local equivalent rabidly-reactionary, vein-throbbingly self-righteous hack rag newspaper.

to borrow from bill hicks
"Never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughed my ass off, and went about my day."

Perhaps not
let's hope no-one sticks a link to this on 4Chan - there's folks on there who would think nothing of doing you up like a kipper, just for fun.

that's just mean.
you think i should edit it?

If it's true
You need to remove it. Today. Now, in fact. Good story, but it's not worth jail time. You have admitted, in public, to lying in court and it would be far from the first time the police have used forum posts in evidence.
