A couple things...... not taking the cops side but a couple things stick out at me.

1) how much Morphine did she have when she was busted? If it was felony possession in most states that means enough to distribute (i.e. sell), but if they can't prove she was going to sell it'd just be possession. What degree felony?

2) After 6 months you and your sister didn't hear anything from the courts? What about the bail money, surely you would have cared about that and followed up as to where it was.

3) Your sister could very feasibly been lying to you about a lot of things, especially if "you don't keep track of her." If I paid someone's bail you better be damned sure I'm keeping tabs on their every movement and keeping track of what is going on with the courts.

4) After talking to lawyers, your sister concluded the police were being assholes, what did the lawyers say. Felony drug possession doesn't just go away and those charges aren't pressed just because the cops were "assholes".

It sounds to me like your sister missed court, became a "fugitive" and the police were trying to locate her. I have a feeling given the questions I posed above, there is far more to this story from your sister and you probably need to get it from her.

It also sounds like the cops were trying to scare tactic you more than anything. Scare you into telling everything and at the very least calling her.

Not saying it's right, but from what you gave, it sounds like she jumped bail (hence telling you, you were helping a fugitive), if it was felony drugs and she had had close to the limit to distribute but not quite, they may wonder what goes on in your house.

You may want to talk to a lawyer and see what course of action you can take against the police, they did go to far, even if it was only a scare tactic.

You best get your sister to be honest with you, because it sounds like she hasn't been.
