If the police officer states in his report that he finds a 1/4 gram of meth, yet, on the next page in the column for "Evidence" he writes 1 line of methamphetamine. What happens now to me?

Not much; it might be something your defense attorney could use; but remember that police officers are human and make mistakes; what if 1 line and 1/4 gram are the same thing ... you and your defense attorney have egg on your face in front of a judge or jurry. Not good. If you had it; did it, and we're wrong then admit too it and take your punishment.
Better yet offer to rat out a supplier and they will probably minimize your punishment and help get a dealer off the street - all a good thing.

You're on the hook for 1/4 gram of meth. Your attorney may be able to make a little hay out of it, but saying the same things two ways doesn't make it go away. The little baggie with the (then)unidentifiable white substance will appear in Court and you'll be a guest of the County Sheriff for a bit.
If this is your first offense, the small amount should entitle you to a variety of plea and sentencing options.
If it's not - go do your time - stay off the meth - and hopefully a forced inability to obtain the stuff will be a big help.
Good luck...

As a cop what I can tell you is that one way of describing evidence in technical terms is ( 1/4 grams ) is different when writing it out in simple terms for a visual description on the written report. So it's legit and you're definetly going to jail.
Have fun with bubba and don't forget to floss.

In order to make anything of it, you'd have to show '1 line' is not the same as '1/4 oz'. Either way meth is illegal. In case the is any doubt 'meth' is short for methamphetamine, which you misspelled.

One page would be discribing it as they found it. in a line, they are required to say in what form it was found, so a line may show it was in the process of being used,
And then they will need to show the actual weight also
