Thats very good stories. I was in Thailand few years back and the fuckers were pissing me off. I know that now days cops are on to all tourist and try to suppliment their income with bribes. So when i was there, in Bnagkok i went to this park in the centre of town, i was walking there minding my own business when i see a cop near by, he walks up to me and withought saying anything gestures for my bag, takes the bag from me, looks inside it.... didnt find anything, gave me my bag back. Then walks away. Ridiculous isnt it?

Busted!

Busted!

About 2 weeks ago I got busted by my college, but they did not prove anything at all which was lucky for me. There is a quiet main road that runs behind my college and across that there is quite a nice park which runs up bit of a hill which gets quite steep near the top. I use to go there every break with friends to smoke it up, always prepared with bongs and water. Then 1 day me and a friend bunk 2 classes to go and find some good bud and the weather is awful (windy and rainy), we buy some quality hash and begin our daily hike. We get to the top and had already smoked a few bongs and were on our way back down when we get a call from a friend saying the police are on there way up! We atart hiking back the mountain in the rain then find our way to come out the other end of the park near the top. So we start waling down again on the other side now but we are right infront of my college now and have bunked a couple of classes when we see my headmaster standing there looking right at out his window from arcoss the road while we are suposed to be in class rofl. So we carry on walking and pretend we never saw him and all go home. When I get home my mother says the college phoned about somthing drug realted and wanted to have a meeting with my parents the next morning, I was like wtf how did my college find out we were smoking on the mountain! Get to college and find out everyone else that smokes is there ready for a meeting, get there have a the meeting and found out the police and seen some students leave college and go up the mountain and then told my college. Then the head master asks me what I was doing on the mountain in the rain and missed class so I just say eating lunch and he belevied me rofl. But im just not aloud to leave college propery any more until the rest of the year which sucks though :/
 
Two arson stories for me today:

The first one was in a rented house 3 years ago. We were 8 of us, with 4 seperate grows in the house. We had a building yard next to our house where they were turning a field into communal land for the locals.
So one night a 'bunch o burberries' set fire to the portaloo on the site, right up against our back wall. Needless to say it started to burn rather well.
At this point my friend is sitting in his room listening to radio. Over his hifi instead of music suddenly comes the cops radio saying our address, accompanied by lots of blue lights. He sits on the stairs for a while thinking that the game is up. So, imagine our surprise when the firefighters walk past 27 budding females, a few bongs, and some scrapped males in the attic to check that our roof isn't on fire and don't say a word to the cops, who at this point are standing in our livingroom with about an ounce of weed and the bongs, and not saying anything to themselves either!!!!
We had a very lucky break that day, and it was to be repeated in our next house..

My second story was from the very next house I lived in. We had a 1200w hps grow buzzing away under the stairs.
Next to our house, about 10 feet away in our garden was a 3 story, detached house come warehouse which was stacked to the gunnels with old desks and sofas etc.
My friend comes running down stairs saying the house in on fire, and sure enough, a healthy glow is comming from the windows of the warehouse. By the time we got the fire crew called, and went upstairs to grab the vid camera, flames were shooting a good 20 feet into the air off of the third floor, which now had no roof as it had now collapsed.
It took 4 fire crews, 4 trucks and 2 mounted water cannons 4 hours to put the fire out. During this time, we had press in our house, cops and robbers, and the fire crew, and no1 ever noticed the hum from under the stairs. We had definately learn't our security lessons from last time!!

Those are the events that nearly made me give up growing! On the other hand, weren't they some fucking safe fire and police crews!!!

Stay safe

A friend was rolling a joint in my car at the local swimming quary. We were parked on the side of the parking lot, and a cop rolls by real slow, looking at us and everything, accept he obviosly couldnt see the weed in my friends lap or we would have been done!

Me and a few buds were down by the bay, smoking the dog up in my car when a cop rolls by and is shining his light on us. I was in no position to get busted, so while the cop was turning around to come check us out, i turned the car off and told everyone to get out at the same time grabing the dog and telling someone else to stash the bong under the seat. We mand it look like we were taking the dog for a walk and walked out of there before the pig arrived. I waited and watched while my friends took the pup back to my place on foot. I saw the pigs taking down my plate # (taken from an old car, id just bought this car) and shining the light in there. For the next few hours I waited as they brought a k9er and waited for me to come get my car. At one moment while they were doing rounds, shining the light over the woods by the bay, I dound myself caught in the light, but at a far distance, I was safe. Another time I peered around a building that was at least 50 yards from the k9 car and the dog immediatley freaked out, barking and whatot. After 3+ hours they left and my survey of the scene revealed no cops. Wet feet (winter time) and jumpy reflexes, I drove the rig home no problem.

Just the other day I was driving on a small two way, four lane highway and stopped next to some bikers at a light. When it went green I gunned it to get the bikers going, but the bait didnt take. I was now doing 50 in a 40 when I saw the blue and red lights ahead. I slowed down right away, but then realised that another copper had just passed and was turning around behind me. Im freaking out because of my recently expired license, then I realise that the cop behind me is most likeey going to the cop in front of me for backup. I relax and check out the cop in front as I drive by, its a hundai tibron cop car whose just pulled over a biker. Now I look in front of me again and I realise Im blowing through a red light at 45, without an effort to stop, with two cops basically right next to me. damn Im lucky....

BUSTED.
Well my brother had a party at the house last friday night and there were minors drinking and everything.... anyways cops show up and try to get in but the dumbasses dont let them in.(round here if you dont let them in they will go get search warrant, once they have one of those they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want). Anyways me and my girl had planned to go see her parents in the morning so we went to sleep pretty early. Well to make a long story short i was sleep ing peacefully and got wokeup to the motherfuckers kicking down my bedroom door yelling GET UP and shit and i was like what the fuck?!? bout that time they looked at on my dresser in my closet and found my bongs easily in plain site then look at my other closet which had a padlock over it and it wasnt locked but it wouldnt have mattered anyways cause they had a search warrant.... anyways cops says look what we have here and threw me in cuffs then took us out of the house and continued to search. Luckily i only had one plant but it was pretty damn big, they claim it was 6ft and fully bushed out but it was only about 4ft, they only charged me with possession over 2 ounces under 4 and paraphenalia. I did 12 days and just got released today. So now im on probation, so that meens no smoking or anything until i get off. The funny thing is i kept getting comments from the police officers and even my rehab lady saying things like hes a "professional" and when i get out of all this i should goto some bigass plant farm for growing shit lol. My rehab lady said its pretty damn hard to get them that big. One of the officers said thats the healthiest, biggest, best looking plant he'd ever seen lol. So yea im pretty much fucked i gotta take random drug tests for probation and if i get caught again im going down for a while so i gotta stay outta shit and abide by these bullshit ass probation rules so i dont go back. SUCKS but i gotta do it, i would rather not go back to that hell hole and quit smoking until i get off probation and by then im not too sure if ill want to smoke again but i dont know.

I got busted about a year ago. My 2 friends and I were sitting in my car along the side of the road outside one of there houses. We had just finished smoking a bowl. A cop car drove past us and made a u turn and got behind us. He proceded to walk up to the car and make a traffic stop. He said the parked car was part way into the road.

When he looked into the window, he saw an empty dimebag in the front seat. This was all it took. He got everybody out of the car and put us in handcuffs. He let the backseat passenger leave because he was not in reach of the front seat. I sat with my one friend in the back of the police car while he searched the car. He went through the carpet and removed stray seeds that had fallen. I know he got really excited when he found the full dime bag in the glove compartment. I had purchased two.

He came back to the police car and got us out. He clamped the handcuffs as tight as they would go, checked around in the car seat to see if we had dropped anything, and then shoved us back in.

He called in to have the car towed and told us that we would go to the police station. A minute or two later he changed his mind and decided to write us just tickets. I was really relieved.

The tickets were for $1100. The judge at the trial reduced the amount to $300.

Smoking and sitting in your car along the roadside is a bad idea.

^ Wow i dint know cops were that bad in the states.. in Canada from my experience the cops throw out weed,break pipes and scales, then sends us on our way.

My only really good story would be when me and my buddy had just returned from getting enough pot to send me away or a while even in canada. and then LUCKILY put it in the trunk. Before i got in his car he was drunk so the whole time he was swerving on the road and missing stop signs. right as we were nearing his house we see the flickering behind us and get pulled over. With my buddy mumbling drunk to him, i knew we were fucked cause started asking for our names and checked them for warrants. Luckily i pay off my court debts unlike my friend who was hauled off for an old DUI. 1 of them asked if i had a valid license, and i did and i went on my happy day .

I was driving at about 5 AM 10 miles over the speed limit (normal driving here, generally can go right by a cop without worry) when I see a cop sitting just before the guardrails up ahead. I slow down a bit without pressing the breaks and stabilize my speed as I get closer. I get about 1000 feet down the road thinking I'm ok until I see his headlights turn on. He doesn't turn his siren and flashers on until he gets right up behind me. I immediately reach over to my glovebox as I pull over, pull the eighth out, toss it under the passenger seat, and dig for my insurance while awaiting the cop. He gets up to the vehicle and examines the inside with flashlight the whole time. I give him my license and my old insurance papers on accident. He tells me to meet him in his car with the insurance. I find it, go to his car and start for the back seat thinking I'm fucked. He tells me to get in the front and I feel slightly relieved. After a lot of explaining as to why I was on the highway going from a town I didn't live in, to another town I didn't live in at 5 AM, I managed a warning. When I got back into my car I went to put the bud back in the glove box and couldn't find it under the seat. It had not gone under, but bounced off the edge back onto the floor in plain view. Had the cop not taken me to his car I most likely would have been screwed.

Unfortunately, my luck isn't always so good. A few months ago me and a friend were driving through Colorado. I had driven from about 11 PM - 6 AM, gotten a couple hours sleep while my friend drove, then he asked me to drive again. (He had slept thro ugh the majority of my driving the night before, I do admit to some hostility towards this as it is the cause for our situation.) Despite being barely woken up yet I switched. About five minutes after switching we spark up a joint and as we come over the hill we see a construction zone, with a cop that we didn't notice quite as quickly, at least not me. I apparently was driving about 65-70 (45 mph zone), I thought i was going 60-65 and that the zone was 55 (55-60 is common construction zone in my state). I wasn't stoned at all, we had gotten about 4 hits into the joint, i was just sleep deprived. We start panicing as we realize the cop and then hear the sirens. I immediately close my hand around the joint to put it out. Burned the hell out of my hand, but I didn't notice that 'til later. Cracked the windows to try and kill the smell. My friend's digging for my insurance in the glove box when the cop comes up on the passenger side. I hand the cop my license tlel him I have insurance, we're finding it. The cop starts going about the speed and then that he saw smoke billowing out of our car (impossible from 4 hits) and that the car reaks of weed. He spots the pipe sitting by the parking brake and tells my friend to hand it to him. Apparently he didn't move fast enough because the guy bopped my friends head with the back of his hand and told him again. He asked for our stuff. I gave up the small bag with what was broken up. He said he wanted anything else and that he was gonna search the car. After a short time I get the rest of our stuff from the suitcase behind my seat and hand it over. The cop then says what about that bag back there. We have no more pot and no idea what he's talking about, he starts getting angrier and then I grab the bag of bread behind the passenger seat. "It's just bread, that's it." The cop seemed very pissed off it wasn't the pound or so he was expecting. We were taken out, put in cuffs and told to sit on the side of the road. (It was cold and windy and I wasn't even allowed to put shoes on.) He asked us if we had anything else, I suddenly remembered the cigarette box with roaches in it, knowing it's in plain view I tell him about it. Turns out my friend had actually stashed this in his pants. When I told the cop about it he gave them up. The cop searched the vehicle for about 5-10 misn, then went back to his car, and from our view, was reading a book for the next 30 minutes or so. The asshole finally comes back out, takes me to the back of my car to give me my tickets. Speeding in a construction zone, no insurance, expired tags, possesion of paraphenalia, and the kicker, possesion of 1oz-8oz of Marijuana. This is however, completely impossible as I weighed out 1 oz before we left, with a digital scale, and we had smoked at least 4-6 grams at that point.

Marijuana Law Refresher:
In Colorado, possesion of 1oz or under will net you a...
$100 fine for a Petty Offense
However, possesion of 1oz - 8oz is a misdemeanor that
will get you 6 months - 2 years and $500 -$5000 in fines.

By comparison that's fairly lenient, particularly for under 1oz. If you must get caught, this is one of the few places to do it. However it happened in one of the worst counties that it could have. After giving me my tickets I got a speach about this leading to the downfall of my life, landing me in prison get raped and then getting out and "...then you're gonna wind up eating a bullet." There were three more hours of complications with this asshole before we were finally let go, my friend ended up with an under 1oz possesion ticket. Court for me is about 6 weeks away and I'm not sure how it will turn out, but I try not think too much about it. This actually took my whole peak high to write, sorry it's so long. I'm going to fix this little come down, good luck to all those currently serving time or facing it, all for a gift from mother nature.

ok tutido ... I'm sure you've thought of this ... but if your friend go the under an ounce ticket .... was it the same bag did neither of you claim it?
because they cant say under an ounce for him and up to 8oz for you
also that slap was uncalled for but you wont have any evidence .....

I advise you to give you representative the nice refresher you gave us and then point out that the cop obviously didn't know what to do ~in court~ and gave you the wrong ticket after 1/2 an hr reading the laws....
when if thats not down to his disgression ... you wont be able to be tried on it ...
anything else you can think of like anything that happened on the night ...?

anyway ... You will Come Through!
Peace

The lawyer got an even more detailed narrative from me, he knows everything that happened. As for the possesion tickets, mine was based on all the pot except the box of roaches. That was what my friend got his ticket for.

It's not my decision who gets blame, it's up to the cop writing the tickets, and apparently, that makes everything mine, mainly cause I was the driver and it's my vehicle. There's nothing we can really do to prove the cop hit him, so there's not much we can do about it. And sorry if I was unclear, the tickets is for 1oz-8oz. We only left with 1 ounce, and we had smoked a bit of that already, so to have over an ounce would be impossible. Not sure if they'll ever weigh it, or just continue to bullshit.

if you scream "bullsh*t" loud enough when it comes to court ... then they would have to weigh it ... to try to prove you wrong lol

Close call

Close call

It all started one cold afternoon. My friends (3) decided that we should test out a new bowl that we had gotten. So we packed the bowl and started to smoke. We had just started putting away everything (bowl and 13 grams left) and I had started to walk towards the field we were near. What happened was we had went into a kind of cove to smoke, so no one could see us.
Well we couldn't see any one or anything, because they couldn't see us. Just as I am walking out i see headlights of a car right outside the cove area. It was a cop, there was no area to run so we had to talk to him.
He made me and friends give him or names, he then said "If i walk over their will i find any broken windows". In the end we played the thing off like "we were testing the door to see if it was open."
As we were about to leave he then says "do you kids smell anything" it was cold so there was no way he could smell anything. So wesiad we didn't smell anything. He then asked to see what was in out pockets.
We let him see somehthings, but my friend put his hand in his pocket to block the view of the stash, and pipe. Wich were packed in a camera case, for a small camera. He then gave us a lecture about not trying to break in to places. And then lets us go.
He was either to lazy or didn't know.

Close Call!!!

Close Call!!!

The only thing I can say about this close call is… OMG WE WERE DAMN LUCKY !

Ok… first thing… we took the car of my friend to have a smoke while we were waiting a call from a friend. We stopped at a place that we use to smoke some time. It’s a parking so there’s a lot of cars. We started to smoke some nice dank shit with the bong on the picture
( )
, like every time we smoke. We were all baked as hell… suddenly a car stopped at like 3 meters of our car. We didn’t see the car very well but we didn’t think he saw us in the car. We were thinking he was going to park him some were near us. When we say some flashlight going trough the window of the car, I started to freak as hell… my friend say “damn it’s a security guard” (wtf… a security guard here?)… My friend (the driver) put the bong at his left leg so he can hide it with his leg. I put the weed under the seat of the passenger (I was at the back of the car). A guy crouch himself at the window of my friend. It was a COP ! In a fucking Stealth cop car! We were SOOO screwed up! The police man asked us what we where doing here. He said that he was smelling pot in the car (the last toke was taken 3min before so of course it was smelling pot). He asked to see our (3) ID card and the car’s paper. He then go back to his car by telling us to wait. We then put the bong in a bag and put the weed just beside the air blower (the cop would never find the weed there).

After like 5 or 10 minutes, the cop came back and by the first word he said, all the stress was gone. He told us that this was a public parking and there was some old person near there that was afraid of people like us. He said that some car have been stolen here. He said word for word “Don’t come here anymore, find yourself another safer and better spot and if you see someone strange here call us”. O M G ! Thanks ! Thanks THANKS !!! It is 100% sure that he smell the odor of the weed… he said it anyway…! And he let us go! Thanks again!

He turn around and let us go !!! This police was and still is very, very nice!

We still don’t believe this… we were caught by a stealth police car and he let us go…!


Aaaaaah…. I’m fucking happy right now to have my mind free!!!

Well I had a close experience too. It was at El Paso, Texas, about 6 years ago. It was near the Mexican border and I was travelling in a greyhound. The Police random checked our bus with dogs and apparently found some herb in the baggage compartment. The cops then came inside the bus and asked us for our IDs. When they realized I was not a US citizen (had a Student Visa, though), the police had a field day with my ass. They were talking about deporting my ass (even though the bus wasn't crossing the border into Mexico). They asked me about the weed. Man, they fucking put me under the gun (metaphorically). See I was a black kid with dreads... so of course i was the culprit. Yet, everyone in the bus had earlier seen a group of white kids blatantly smoking pot not far from where I was seated. Luckily the cops had nothing on me so they let me go. After that everyone still thought it was my weed they found... I wasn't carrying anything on me. I'm too paranoid to smoke while travelling...that was not my style. Well I guess I got lucky the cop was reasonable and stuff cuz he was threatening to deport me and shit. Fuckers.
