having your car searched....

[Kiefer Suthrlnd]

I've only had my car searched once, it was because the cop said he smelled something that he couldn't have...thankfully I had nothing on me at the time, and didn't smoke anything at all back then. The cops made me stand against my trunk while they aimed shotguns at me from the rear cruiser and examined every part of my car. They even hassled me about little baggies of screws in my backseat...the same ones that come with any kind of furniture you buy...If I had anything..they would've found it...

Where do you stash it while driving?? has it worked during searches like this??

Ive heard that keeping it on you, yet hidden really well works because if the cops miss it, they only use the canine on your car....any opinions??

some more points...
1. at the time i was on my way to go golfing....they questioned me for a few minutes on why i had gloves in the car...like i was breaking into places

2. I was pulled over out of the blue..driving down the road doing the speed limit. I wasn't speeding, and was never given an explanation. (later on the sergeant told my father the patrolman had called in a teenager(me) doing donuts, for reason to pull me over... which i promise i was not...)

to sum it up, if I had anything on me, I would have been screwed for doing nothing, just driving down the road..so watch out if you have stuff on you...it can all change in 5 minutes

when i was a teenager i had a 91 GMC Jimmy with no airbags. i always used to pop the horn out and stash my shit in the steering wheel. got me through several searches, no problem. but these were both local town cops who knew i was a stoner but didnt really look very hard because its just pot. still got a little pissed off when he could smell it but couldnt find it anywhere though, i was getting a kick out of it


edit: also a friend and i once got pulled over (diferent vehicle) and he first pulled us out to search us, then the car. my buddy's got a bag in his pocket and when the officer told him to put his hands on the hood of the car, he kept the bag wadded up in his palm. after he got patted down he just put it back in his pcket and the cop started searching the car, found nothing. ballsy

 

[Kiefer Suthrlnd]

yeah I gave them consent.....saying no would've made it a longer ordeal than it even was. Cops can do anything they want...

When my teacher was a prosecutor, he once had a criminal who was searched after cops saw illegal weapons in plain view the backseat...the weapons were kitchen knives in a plastic bag, on the ride home from Walmart...

 

[FrankRizzo]

I've had a almost the same thing happen to me once. I knew I had nothing in the car so I gave consent too. I made them work for it a minute, but I finally gave in. I told them they where wasting their time. They asked me if I had been smoking meth! Idiots. They went through my car and just complained about the trash in the back seat. I tried to tell them. Idiots. I have a childhood friend who is a cop now and I've asked him why they do that. He said it's kind of like fishing, once and a while you get something. Sometimes they are just bored. Idiots

 

[TheGoodStuff]

It's stupid.

You have the right to say no, but if you do, they'll call in a drug dog and have it false-alert on your car, so they then get to search.

Bastards.

Last time I got pulled over was 3 years ago. I was smoking a big fatty and had a quarter O in my pocket, when I see the flashing lights I say "sheeet they got me!" I see the Trooper talking away to find out who he just pulled over. He sneaks alongside the truck and I open my window letting out a big cloud of potsmoke But he got his body pressed against the truck with his gun drawn and won't come up to the window where he would smell the smoke, the wind is blowing away from him
Makes me reach waaaay back and hand him my license and registration. He sneaks back to his car for a minute then sneaks back along the truck and I gotta reach way back to retrieve my papers. He sneaks back to his car and takes off.
Only thing I can think of is that sometimes it pays to have a few violence related felonies on your record.

 

[whodi]

ahah stoned.. that's wild... poor cop sneakin' around.

 

[T-type]

Yeah, cops are shitty, they pulled me over for no reason the other day and I'm awaiting trial....
On DUI charges for smoking weed....

 

[GroBoy2000]

gotta say no man, my g/f was pulled over not long ago and they tried hitting her up, and she said no, she had to get home, sick baby, blah blah blah, and they were like, well, no, mam, we need to search the car, she insisted, as they did, and threatened to call k9, and even said they were, after 45minutes he let her go, no k9 ever came,

dont let these fuckers pull your chain

 

[RudolfTheRed]

Here are a few rules I take while driving with weed.

1) All weed is kept in one bag. Reason for this is so I don't catch a distro charge with multiple bags even if it is all personal.
2) Try and carry only small amounts.
3) Keep it in the trunk or another hiding spot but always hide it before you start driving.
4) NEVER drive and smoke
5) Always obey traffic laws and make sure my headlights and break lights work properly.
6) Only drive with weed when I absolutely have to.
7) Make sure my eyes aren't red.
8) Make sure my license and anything else I'll need (registration, etc.) if pulled is in the car.

 

[Ajunta Pall]

I once got pulled over for what? the pig didn't tell me. He asked if he could search my car. My response and I quote "Go fuck yourself." The pig got mad and called for the K-9 only to find out that the stupid mutt was on vacation. Then I was let go with no ticket. I know I was profiled because of my record.

 

[ItsGrowTime]

Reminds me of a time I was riding around with some friends. Had about a 1/4oz on me. We were cutting through an Army base (this was before 9/11) as we had done many, many times before. The MPs at the gate always just waved us through. So Im sitting in the back seat with a 1/4oz in my pocket, scarfing on some McDonald's that we just picked up. But this time, the MP steps out in front of the car and announces a random search! They start pulling each person out one at a time, doing patdowns, etc. I wasn't gonna ditch the stuff in the car and hang everyone and I wasn't gonna keep it in my pocket either. Im not a big fan of federal drug charges on a military base, ya know? So when it was my turn to step out, I slyly dropped the 1/4 into my McD's bag and got out with a handful of french fries in one hand and my soda and the McD's bag in the other hand. The MP patted me down, and didn't think twice about my McD's bag. They searched the car and didnt find anything and told us to go on our way. We stopped cutting through the Army base after that. McDonald's saved my ass.

hahah ItsGrowTime, that's so sick
one time my friend gave me something in a mcdonalds bag and I didn't know why he was giving me a mcDonalds bag

The more of a 'consumer' you are the better in their eyes. Just an ignorant consume consume consume consume consume... and there won't be any problems.

 

[jerrymcginnis]

oh yeah and ya'll need to watch Barry Narc Cooper's DVD "Never Get Busted Again". He's a total NARC but he's got some interesting shit to say about probable cause and reasonable suspicion during a search.

He says they'll call in a refusal, 10 more cops will show up and a drug dog will come to sniff the car. But fuck it.. if you've got 1QP - 1LB in the vehicle you should refuse as politely as possible.

Also... transport your stuff via bike (and then motorcycle if you have to go real far). It's far safer to ride a bike around your city than it is to drive a car. Chances of you getting fucked with by cops on a bike is slim. Motorcycles are motorized vehicles so your chances are a lot higher than on a bicycle... which is by far the safest method IMO.

The best things to keep in mind when transporting:

1. Keep your car CLEAN (not only on the outside appearance.. free of rust but also inside. Hide rolling papers, lighters, incense, high times, multiple cell phones, dream catchers, NORML literature, glass pipes, ash trays, plastic baggies, hemp clothing, anything tye dye, or ANYTHING that might indicate you MIGHT enjoy marijuana even to the SLIGHEST degree)

2. Keep your car credential UP TO DATE. This includes valid DRIVERS LICENSE, registration, inspection and insurance (and mary jane medical card where applicable). Have all of these items clearly displayed and readily accessible for the officer (at minimum have your drivers license and reg ready to hand over at the window).

3. Take the fuckin DARE sticker off your car. It makes you look like a drug addict. And all those other political, WAR, novelty and music stickers too.

4. Wrap your shit up in Renolds OVEN BAGS. These are the bags that Turkey's go in and then they go in the oven. I don't know what they make these bags out of but if you wrap something really stinky in 3 of them you can ride about 6+ hours without it being noticeable to a human nose. I've kept half oz in 8 bags for over 1 month without smells coming through

5. Drug dogs can smell through the plastic bag. Carry a cat with you when you transport and spray your tires/vehicle outside with FOX URINE. The drug dog will be looking for the fox and freaking out with the cat in the car. His ball drive will malfunction and with any certain luck he won't alert on your vehicle.

6. Stay calm and collected. Court the police officer along and assure him that you're just another law abiding consumer.

probably some other stuff too. Most of those facist sloth will take your stash and smoke it with their butt buddy on their secret weekend trip to the lake. cops eat shit and die motherfucker

I was driving not doing anything wrong when a cop pulled me over. He asked for my license and unfortunately I left it at home. He arrested me for not having ID on me and at the time I didn't know that was possible. He searched my car and found a pound of pot in the back seat, cut up in three seperate bags. Luckily it got thrown out of court and I still retain no criminal record, even though I have been caught with weed a couple times, with 200 - 100mg morphine tablets, an angel blade and also had my house raided. Boy I love Canada! Its a long story how this all happened with out me even getting a criminal record, but the short version is the cops screwed up numerous times and are retarded - to say the least.

that's the first time i've heard that advice. i'm giving you rep points for that one. nice.

prolly should keep it on the down low...next thing you know driving with cat's in the car will be a precursor to search lol!

Had a friend who was arrested just last week! My friend made so many stupid mistakes though. First, they were smoking in a huge church parking lot in the middle of the night which is right across the street from a highschool, middle school, and grade school. While they were smoking a helicopter flies right over them and hits em with the search light. He tells me that they left "for good measure." I don't know what he was thinking after this, but they decided to go back to the same spot a couple hours later and smoke again. Two friends get out and go in another car and as soon my friend's car leaves the lot they get pulled over. The two kids got free I guess, but his car was screwed.

The cops come up to em making jokes about it, "Oh you guys were in that parking lot for quite awhile weren't you? Hahaha!" After that they tell them to get out of the car, you're all under arrest. Apparently, according to the police report there was a robbery and a car matching his description was wanted in the robbery. Spent the night in jail for it. One of our mutual friend's parents is a defense attorney and said that was complete bs and it would get thrown out in court, but he suggested that they take this course that the state offers.

In france we have the customs which are on the road, more and more often since few years ( mostly thanks to our f....ing president )...
I was arrested on a thursday afternoon, and my god customs are far away more trained than cops... so we were smoking a little one with my friends, and it was just finish when the customs stopped us...
they look in the car for about 30 minutes, without finding ANYTHING ( paper...)... I had told my friend they could smoke in the car but to throw away every evidence of the smoke.. Indeed, i had an ounce hidden in the engine...
the craziest is that when the come around the car, they had their hand on their gun, telling us not to move, like we were some kind of killer, despite the three of us are studing in engineer school...
I got arrested about 8 times, the only time they find anything was with a dog, 3g so not so much ^^

But now i must be really really carefull, because now in french if you are arrested with even a joint they will test you piss, if you are positive ( which would be the case for me), say goodbye to your car and license, pay at least 500$, but jail is not likely...

so guys, be carefull, have your car CLEAN, and hide it well

If you have a dog or cat in your car they won't bring their dog...

 

[sow the seeds]

Def don't keep it on you in the car. I had a friend that was driving with an oz of mushrooms in the glovebox and got pulled over. The cop pulled him outta the car, patted him down, and since he didn't find anything let him go.

I think in the trunk is the best place, and don't smoke in the car.

 

[ToKEN]

whenever I had 1/8's to an 'o' on me I'd stash it where the door to your gas tank pops out...never got pulled over and searched when I did this...but when I got my dui they didnt look there..must work.
