Just dodged a bullet.

[Scrappy-doo]

Got pulled over tonight out of state on the highway with a zip of dry sift in my backpack, and fresh cuts in a cup. I always drive exactly the speed limit, on cruise control, but apparently I didn't slow down fast enough leading up to a toll. Cop was right at the divider, pulled up behind me and lit me up.

First thing I did was stuff the fresh cuts in my mouth. First time I ever had to do that. The stems were a little woody and tough to swallow without a lot of chewing. Didn't manage to swallow it as he came up to the window. Played it off like I was chewing some food and then .choked it down while answering questions.

After formalities and info he went to his car and came back with a warning, and then asked if I have anything illegal in my car, any drugs, weapons, anything I shouldn't have. I kept my cool, looked him straight in the eye and said no. He asked if I would give him permission to search the car, I just shook my head and said I don't really have time for that man. It's New Years, it's cold, and I have somewhere I have to be.

He just said OK, drive safe.

I was pretty surprised it went so smoothly. Seen a lot of videos of people denying a search and seen it go both ways. I think the key thing for me was not showing any signs of nervousness, and being completely sober as I almost always am when driving.

Just goes to show you what can happen when you flex your constitutional rights and stay calm, collected, and congruent.

Lesson learned: Always secure all items before traveling. I'm glad I had those cuts within arms reach though. Coulda gone real bad if they were in the trunk or something and this went the wrong way.

Happy new year scrappy!

Bad choice driving dirty on a holiday. the cops are everywhere and doing operation pullover and shit. Glad it worked out for ya's. Lucky u didn't smile and he saw ur green teeth. lol Eating clones! I think I would have shoved them by my dick instead.

 

[Scrappy-doo]

Yup you're right it was foolish to do on a holiday. That's why I only took cuts with me rather than rooted plants just in case something like this happened. But yeah I agree bad choice.

Foolishness aside, Staying calm is the best thing. LEO feeds on fear and nervousness.
As a truck driver I deal with LEO all the time, and I am high every time. Its My normal state of being, so I just act the same as if it were normal,,, no problems yet.

Congrats on a successful avoidance of The Man. HAPPY New Year Scraapy.

Glad you are ok. I never worry about a few slips really, you must be in a non med state.

some of us don't have the luxury of second, third, and tenth tries lke you fellas out there do...and some of us actually have managed, through a lot of hard work and dedication, to never even have the first encounter with the police that ends badly (knock on wood) and would like to keep it that way. Not talking shit or anything, just perspective of, as you said somebody in a non med state.

glad you made it out scrappy

Good story! One thing is, you don't have constitutional rights. Your rights are merely liberties. You are at liberty to do what you do until someone threatens you with words, physically forces you to stop or kills you. Thats it. This old dude had it right.

“The sacred rights of mankind, are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” ~ Alexander Hamilton

AGREED. and like the OP said look them in the eyes, act like you dont have that bag of weed or you didnt hit that bowl about a mile back. Have your story straight before they get to the door, where u came from where your going.
Have had many encounters with police (not because im a badass, bad driving habits speeding, no seat belt)and its not legal in my state in any way. Have never went to jail over MJ but have had a ticket written a couple times. Have always been cool when caught. Make em feel your sorry and talk about how its going to ruin your life. Talk about how your mom is going to be so disappointed she prolly wont want u at Christmas. Most cops are OK but ive met a hero once or twice that id like to meet out back.
Being Proactive and preventing risky situations is always best practice..... But then we wouldnt have those cool stories of how we evaded the man

 

[b3fr33]

Well played, and I laughed out loud when I read that you ate the cuts!

 

[bigshrimp]

They are out spotting drunk people on holidays mostly, still not good to be carrying but at least they weren't looking for you.

... Have your story straight before they get to the door, where u came from where your going. ...

More proof of a complete lack of true freedom in the US right there. What do travel plans have to do with an alleged traffic infraction? Just a thought.



Anyway glad to hear this one ended well (except for those poor cuttings).

I was pulled over probably close to 20 years ago now in a beat up 1974 Toronado (loved that car, it hauled ass even in snow). Anyway the cops wanted to search but I kept refusing, saying I was afraid they'd damage my beautiful automobile as I put a cigarette out on my dashboard. They finally figured out I was on probation and therefore couldn't refuse the search, but not before a good bit of dicking around.
Anyway they looked in the trunk and found nothing but a grocery bag filled with pornographic VHS tapes, and a big tub of peanut butter. They were so upset they told me to just GTFO ouf their sight. Too bad for them they missed the half ounce my passenger stuffed in the backseat.

 

[stoned-trout]

what were you doing with a bag of pornos and a huge tub of peanut butter???? lol..never mind I don't want to hear that answer

Agree its not as free as some think... I once was searched when I had my girlfriend with me. I had a porno in my glove box, he pulls it out and starts asking my girlfriend if she knew I had it... I mean what does that have to do with anything... was very pissed it wasnt a search I agreed too, my buddy had an open beer so guess thats reason to search.
