🕵️♂️ “That’s Not Mine” — And Other Lies That Don’t Work in Court
“That’s not mine.”
Classic line. Terrible legal defense.

🧪 “It Was Just Weed” — Until You Failed the Drug Test on Probation
You beat jail. Congrats. But probation isn’t a vacation—it’s court with a leash.

Think your texts are just petty drama? Think again. Threats, leaks, and reckless voice notes can land you in court—literally.
