Close calls with the cops

[Bob-Smith]

Was just thinking of a couple of close calls getting busted and would like to hear some others.

My worst was getting stopped (for expired registration tag) in about 1980 on the San Diego freeway (Interstate 8) on my unregistered motorcycle, with my suspended drivers licence, with my 8 warrants for arrest on non-appearance on the other 8 tickets, with 10 ounces of weed inside my tucked in bus boy dress shirt.

Cop comes back and says, do you know you have 8 warrants. I say (lie), oh yes, I know, I'm on my way home from the courthouse right now and have a court hearing to get that all resolved next Thursday. He says, well, here's another ticket, and sends me on my way.

Nice, similar situation myself. Smoking a fatty to myself going to get diaper wipes for the ex wife. Had that spidey sense go off before i left... it said cops will pull me over... ignoring it i get pulled over in the middle of smoking the joint... im on probation too haha... anyway ive already shit myself not... it was a right on a red but the stupid intersection had a no rights on red sign... so cop was trappin people as they came around the corner... luckily this cop was cool and started smilin and kinda gigglin at my situation... he says it smells heavily like marijuana and dont i know its illegal to smoke and drive? Being on probation i quickly denyed smoking weed and claimed it wasnt me... i was the only one in the car lol... cop lolled too haha... he wrote me a ticket and told me to try not to smoke weed and drive!!! Just the traffic ticket. I had bags of weed in the car he never even looked...

I was driving from Atlanta to Orlando sometime in the mid 2000s with a pound of weed in the back seat. I also had like a gallon of GHB. I was driving 90 in a 70 and drinking a beer. Just one; I wasn't trashed or anything.

A cop saw me from the other side of the highway and crossed over the median to pull me over. I tried to hide the beer can without it looking obvious. He pulled me over, I tried to act like I wasn't nervous, and he wrote me a ticket for speeding. I would have been fucked if he had searched the car.

Moral of the story: Don't speed when you have illegal stuff in the car. Also don't drink beer when you have illegal stuff in the car.

got rolled on the freeway with 4#.

state trooper pulled me out, asked what i was doing, where i was going, why i was following too closely(asshole ahead drastically slowed down when we passed the trooper on the side of the road). then he went and talked to my passenger, meanwhile an suv trooper rolled up.

he goes back to his car and spends a few minutes,meanwhile I'm standing at the back of mine, i know he's looking at my record(1 drug felony and some underage drinking charges), he comes back and asks me if I'm still on probation, I'm not, it ended years previous. he says ok, well I'm just going to give you a warning, have a nice day.

it wasn't until i got back in my car that i began shaking and muttering holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck....

I was driving out of NYC to the NJ freeway and pulled over to role a couple of J's.

As I was doing the deed a cop pulls over to 'see if I was OK'.

Thinking quickly I grabbed the open map on the passenger seat and pulled it onto my lap to cover everything and tried to look stupid.

It worked, the cop gave me directions and sent me on my way.

So glad I had out-of-state tags!

one time when my buddies and i were 16 we were coming home from a 2 day widespread panic show. smoking bowls are the drive most of the way. were in the middle of toking up when i noticed a cop car coming up on us in the next lane over. tell everyone to keep the piece down and keep cool. haha sure enough cop pulls along side us, and looks over at all four of us long haired, tie dye wearing hippie kids and just stays right with us. im drving looking straight ahead not glancing over, and my buddy in the passenger seat looks over at says " omg theyre laughing at us". i try to stay in my lane and focus on driving. after what seemed like an eternity that started to speed up and pass us. and then the slow down, drop back, and cut over to our lane so they are right behind us. thats when we are all like "oh fuck'' haha "thats it, were busted, there gonna pull us over right now" and after another life time of paranoia and anxiety, they passed us and sped off, and we were safe and sound..... about 2-3 hours later after realizing hey pretty sure were supposed to be home right now, we realized we had missed our exit and were 2 hrs north of home lmao. shits funny now but was a pretty messed up day. and before someone calls me a moron this was before the days of gps, and we had never driven to milwaukee either. still really dumb but im pretty positive we missed that exit during the state partol fiasco.

Got pulled over for an out headlight with a 1/2# in the trunk and a pocket full of addies. Luckily this cop was not a dickhead and he just gave me a written warning and wished us a happy fourth of july weekend. My friends gf was in the backseat wearing a freakin tie-die t shirt haha!

I kept the citation as a reminder not to do anything stupid like that again.

I was driving drunk when I was 18 and I was on this rural road heading back into town when this little PT Cruiser tried to pass me but I kept speeding up every time it tried to pass. Well, once I got back into town blue lights flashed behind me so I pulled over calmly, while stuffing gum in my mouth. I also had a pipe and small amount of weed on me that I stuffed behind my waistband as the cop was getting out of his car.

Turns out that the car that tried to pass me had called the cops. The cop came up to my window and asked why I kept speeding up not letting that little car pass me. I told him I was just being immature. Then he asked me and my buddy to step out of the vehicle. He searched the truck and didn't find anything. He seemed to be looking mainly for guns and alcohol. He didn't find anything and let me go with a warning since I owned up to the mistake. He didn't accuse me of being drunk or anything and I was hammered. As the cop was going back to his car, the pipe fell out of my waistband and fell down on the street, so I bent down quickly to retrieve it and went on my way to smoke a bowl.

Hitchhiking, with real long hair, thru Delaware in 1973.. Had a small gym bag with my clothes, and a tin lozenge box in my back pocket containing a half dozen J's and a small envelope of loose weed..

State trooper pulls over, tells me it's illegal to hitchhike and tells me he'll drive me to bus station. At bus station he asks if I have a knife or a gun on me. I tell him No... (I didn't)

Then he asks if I have drugs. Again I say No...(this time I lied)

He then tells me if I have any of the 3 things on me, to lay them on the seat and he'll let me go, but if I don't put anything there, he'll search me, and if he finds it, he'll take me to jail..

We stared at each other for what seemed forever, and I knew I had to hope he would keep his word, or I was busted for weed...

I took the lozenge box from my pocket, put it on the seat between us, he looked inside at the joints, put the box in his shirt pocket and told me to enjoy my bus ride...

It was 1975? In Alaska..

It was 1975? In Alaska..

Really Blazing driving my 1950 GMC 1 ton Delivery Truck with a case of beer between the seats smoking a joint with my buddy going to pick up some more Matanuska Thunderfuck.

Then I notice a State Trooper coming up fast with lights and sirens blaring. I didn't notice it right away and he was on my tail.

Then he blew buy and my heart stopped pounding.

We had a good laugh

A week before the Rodney King beating, in front of that Police Station

A week before the Rodney King beating, in front of that Police Station

A fried of mine and I were tuning up for our up coming deer hunt at the Angeles Shooting range. We had finished practice and were on our way home....

There was a radar set up across the street from the police station on Foothill Blvd. I wasn't expecting it and I was speeding.

The problem was we had a bunch hunting rifles in the back of the Suburban, loaded handguns on us and the tailgate window was down.

The Radar cop pulled us over and walked towards the car and asked for my license and registration, he was very calm. (He did not look into the back yet)

I'm could see him running my license (it was clean) and he came walking back and then rubberneckingly looked in the back of my truck and he about freaked out.

I had 2 1/2 Barreled Smith and Wesson 357 Mag in my pocket and my buddy a .45 Auto.

He walks to the window and asks, "Any loaded handguns in the car?" I say no. He about sticks his head in the window (gun drawn) and asks my buddy (I about shit myself) if he has a loaded handgun. He says no.

He looks relieved and writes me a ticket. I'm relieved I didn't shit myself.

We felt lucky to be white that day.

Peace

This has happened to me a few times. Being a relatively clean cut looking white guy has saved my ass a few times.
