So this past May I was in Arizona visiting a buddy. Was a quick in and out trip. Drove in, stayed up all night drinking beers, passed out around 7am, got up at 11am, ate, left to come home.
On my way home I come up on an Arizona Highway Patrol in the right hand lane doing roughly 65mph (the speed limit was 75mph). I didn't want to pass the cop but unfortunately I was in a bit of a daze from an OG Kush blunt I had smoked a few hours earlier while sitting in traffic and had not even realized i was closing on his car.
Without much options I decided to pass by. As soon as my rear bumper was clear of the crash guard on his car he swerved to the left and threw on the blue and red's. I immediately pull off the freeway and roll down my window. The officer gets out of his vehicle and walks up on my passenger side. As he is walking up I realize he isnt going to driver side and glance to my passenger seat and see my backpack. I had a chillium, one good .5 gram nug, and a half smoked blunt in a blunt wrap container in my bag. Since the officer had already made it to my vehicle I had no chance to grab my bag and throw it behind me.
He tells me that he has pulled me over for my windshield being cracked. He talks to me for a few and asks me to step out of my vehicle to fill out the paperwork at his cruiser. I get out and walk to his car. He turns and looks me square in the eye and asks how much pot i have on me.
Now to be honest - i have never had any run-ins with the law (outside of speeding tickets). I try to be as good a person as I can be and try to respect the law at all times. So by this point i am freaking out. I figure I am totally screwed and going to jail.
Since I am freaking out and he obviously knows I figure ill just admit to it. Whats the point in lying and possibly pissing him off more. I tell him that i have a 1/2 smoked blunt and thats it. He searches my vehicle and finds the nug and the pipe and a flask full of whiskey (had honestly forgot that it was in my vehicle from months before when I was supposed to go out and ended up left it behind - i know, stupid). He places me under arrest and puts me into the back of his cruiser after he tells me that "possession of any amount of marijuana and paraphernalia is a felony in the great state of Arizona". My heart has officially hit the floor at this point.
The officer walks back to the my vehicle and starts filling out some paperwork and tossing the evidence in a bag. A couple of additional cops show up and talk to him. The first takes off but the second stays around and shoots the shit with his buddy. He gets done filling out his paperwork and pulls me out of the cruiser. At this point he tells me that I have to do a field sobriety test because of the flask. I agree and go through it. He actually gave me 5 minutes to calm down cause i was so freaked out. As I finished it the officer explained that since I was sober I could go about my way.
He gave me my copy of the ticket for the windshield and the flask and tells me the DA will be in touch about the felony charges (which at this point are 2 - one for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia). He says that he hopes I have learned my lesson and lets me go. I get back in my vehicle and proceed to spend the next 5 hours driving home going over in my mind what has just happened - that was the longest most intense drive ive ever had!
So now that its been almost 6 months I can happily say that its all behind me.
Because of this happening I went and got my MMJ recommendation and now can safely drive around with a 1/2 lb on me in the truly great state of California
just goes to show what i have always believed about cannabis and keeping it on your person/car: its not what you do its how you do it.opt1c said:yeah a leadfoot can be a bad thing... was driving home one night on a 50mph road going about 60... get right by my house and decide to gun it for the hell of it... well i'm now going about 75 in a 50 and this car swoops up on my ass with its brights on.... there are a lot of drunk drivers around my area so i figure it's some guy with a chip on his shoulder so i really punch it... needless to say i was in the triple digits when the red and blue lights come on. It's at this point i realize that i had bought a new pipe, unused, earlier in the day and i had an 1/8 in my glovebox... then i remembered the 2 ounces in my trunk... catpiss... not the best strain to have in your trunk.
Cops come up to my car and first thing they say is we're impounding your car... i'm like fine i thought you were some drunk driver so i punched it... sorry for speeding and whatnot... they take my info and go back to their car... at this point i shove the pipe and 1/8th in my shoe, thank god i was wearing docs, and put on my game face. They ask me to get out of the car and i get up... now, lucky for me, i was dressed pretty nice as i had gone out to dinner earlier.... unlucky for me i was now worrying about leaving 2 ounces in an impound lot so i decided to roll the dice... the car i was driving was quite popular with car thieves at the time so i used this as an excuse to ask the officer if i could remove my property from the trunk before the car went to the impound lot... the cop was like sure so i went back and opened the trunk... praise the gods i had a cloth car cover thrown in the trunk and the weed was inside a newspaper... with the cop literally looking over my back i proceeded to roll the weed inside the car cover and bundled it up in my arms... so here i am with 2 ounces of catpiss in my hands, an 1/8 and a pipe in my boot and the cop hands me my ticket and i turn around and walk the rest of the way home with a big ass smile on my face... i was probably the happiest guy to have their car impounded in the history of the world.
in the end i got a lawyer... struck a deal where if i had zero interactions with cops for a year the ticket would go away... and that was about four years ago.
morals of the story: don't speed, stay calm, appear as if you're the man (one of them), and a car cover can save your ass in addition to the paint on your car.
How do you not keep this in mind the entire time you're driving? Anytime I have anything in my car (not often) I follow every traffic law until I am in my drive way. Coppers are always around when you least expect it.It's at this point i realize that i had bought a new pipe, unused, earlier in the day and i had an 1/8 in my glovebox... then i remembered the 2 ounces in my trunk... catpiss... not the best strain to have in your trunk.

I was pulled over by the cops in North Wales, UK a while back. I'd said something out of the window to them, and sure enough when I emerged from a garage just down the road they pulled out after me. I turned into a side street knowing that they were going to pull me anyway. I get out of the motor and stand there quite quietly and peacefully and Karmly. A big fat bully of a cop comes over and starts off something like "I can see that you are shaking and and your voice is affected" type thing, "you're on drugs"...He was describing symptoms of a freek out cannabis experience. I wasn't freeking, and just said "no I'm not!". However the cop didn't like this response and angryily and ajitatedly said "oh yes you are". He basically was threatening me in a power over power abuser situation unless I complyed with his reality. They/he want to do this so that they can control you....and ultimately control and control the very very very very real magic that can be associated with cannabis use. This is why, by the way, that I support the real Pashtun stance (not Taliban) ... as in individual and tribal honour rather than police state perverted cowards bullying to trash individuation and empowerment, which has the ultimate aim of kowtowing towards a negative ritual generated state/government paradigm. (the west in actual fact). India I think the cops/state would back off from the real time collective shamman type magic trip that was manifest here. But the wankers here?! (screamed in capital letters). Total ****ing arseholes. He was being of violent intent definitly. Thus they create the cannabis bad trip. He said he'd been on a course...obviously they tell them the symptoms of a freek out trip and then try and shoehorn everyone into this reality. he said I was drugged in charge of the car - I rejected this, and the pigs called the doctor to do the strait line test. Fortunately the doctor was pure Allah and he passed me....so no blood test. The pigs were SOOOOOO pissed off!!! I was on my way to a mountain sanctury to do some cannabis ritual.
OM SHIVA
They're tring to do me for about an eigth of cannabis...(the real stuff, cosmic karma like), so I took the option of 'electing' for Jury/Crown court trial, the best barrister for the job will be hired and the government will have problems, and this will be costing the state at least £10000 if they are foolish enough to proceed, which I want them too, because I'm going to make them look very very very very foolish indeed in the local and ideally national media and international. I'm getting legal aid (which is still just about available here in the UK despite the post thatcher americanisation).
I just wonder when these power abusing wankers/state/government are going to have some respect.
They'll learn.
Take care,
Blessings.
I have to say also that due to being a hippy type traveller (big scene uk side) in the past and also 'front line' eco warrior type dude I've had more encounters with the pigs then you've had hot dinners! and basically now these people just bore me...thus again the Pashtun stance, no negotiation, no games, just **** off you perverted power abusing wankers. (ideally).
Squigy said:Great Thread
Once upon a time I got on a plane from Nepal to Amsterdam Via India.
I was wearing some special shoes that I had made to accommodate my feet as well as 1 kg of fine Nepalese Squigy in each shoe That’s right 1kg I did only get 900 grams in each though!!!
I called these shoes my Herman Monsters because they really looked like Herman Monster's shoes.
Boarded the plane in Katmandu and landed in Delhi without drama and was feeling very confident. I had about a 10 hour layover in Delhi, a bit nervous hangin round all day I kept my mind off things by reading. We had a fuel stop in the Emirates where we had to get off the plane and then board about an hour later. I think it was Dubai and I wandered through the duty free shops it’s massive and a good diversion as well as a place to get some JD. Then off to the Dam Ahhhhh not far now last leg of the Journey and an EZ one. The plane landed and out we go like sheep down the tunnel ………and guess what there was a ****in sheep herder with a DOG at the end of the tunnel.
“Where are the drugs” was the question
I tried to start with my declaration of innocence and he just looked at me and laughed.
So I just smiled and pointed at my shoes.
Away I went to be processed; and then the wait!!!
4 hours later they came to tell me my punishment was to be sent back to my home country, America which city would I like to fly to?
A bit apprehensive I responded and within 2 hrs I was in a holding cell full of illegal aliens awaiting deportation. I was to good ole USA
It took about 36 hours before I was on a plane towards the states. Due to the circumstances my passport was given to the pilot and I was told it would be turned over to customs when I arrived
The time came and I got pulled into a room, strip searched, and questioned about what I had been doing for the last 5 years part of which he knew since I had been to prison in 2 other countries in that time, and that info was right in front of him.
He hated me and wanted to lock me up but he just didn’t have what it takes
When I cleared customs I went to the toilet and let it rip right into a plastic bag about 500grams of Fine Nepalese Squigy
I had a single skin stuck in a book and I rolled a neat hash spliff that I burned on the taxi ramp just outside the airport. Somebody waiting for a ride was attracted by the smell and we got Baked
Then he ended up given me a lift 3 hrs to where I wanted to go.
Who says getting busted sucks that was ****in Amazing
Ahh those Daze are behind me now but i do have a few stories from the good ole pre shoe bomber Daze
Peace
