we got pulled over by the cops the other day and they brought a canine unit and searched our car. they found some weed and a pipe. the officer came back to us on the curb and said "next time tell me about the marijuana, it makes my job a lot easier" which i dont think is true, he still would have searched the car. but they didnt take it, they didnt even move it. all the cops care about out here are tweakers. im glad im just a stoner these days. things are so much saner, and the next time i get pulled over, i should be a lot more relaxed.
in the UK the cops don't care about weed as long as you don't flash it around, i know people who walk down the high street puffing on a joint and the cops just ignore them. they only care if you flash it around making it obvious what you're doing or if you're being anti social.
^^ im in his boat lol, theres no middle ground, it seems, with cops around here... they're either dicks or cool
well... here where i live, its a big meth place.. so they are really only caring about "hard" drugs and stuff... so when you are found with weed, they usually dont do a whole lot.
ya it's the same with cops here. they're really focusing on the tweekers and coke heads, and don't really care that much about the stoners. haha my friend got searched one time, and they found his bud. all the cop did was wave it around saying, "you know you're not supposed to have this right?" and my friend said "ya" and the cop just gave it back to him haha
well if you live in a state in which weed is partially decriminilized, there are bound to be some incredibly lax cops.
wow, i've never heard of cops giving the shit back to people or not taking it. i've known a few people where the cops didn't really care too much or didn't bust them with anything, but if they find the pot they still confiscate it at least. thats pretty cool....even giving it back to the guy..... well, if i was a cop, which i never will be, i dont think i'd bust people unless they were royally stupid or complete assholes. if it was someone say, 18 or over i'd probably give it back most of the time. if it was someone under 18 i'd take it but give them nothing more than a herbal warning.....i mean a verbal warning. i dunno.....thats wierd though...here, most cops in the city dont care too much about pot, what with murderers, highway shooters, serial rapists, burglars and other nasty folks running around columbus every once in a while....but in the burbs or at the wrong place at the wrong time, cops don't have anything better to do that pick on potheads and kids. i can't say most of the people that get busted aren't asking for it, though, smoking blunts in parked cars with the windows up in public places in the middle of the day...things like that.
Only the young cops are assholes, the older ones ussually just take it away from ya and tell ya not to get caught with it again.
You guys are so lucky. My friend got busted for having not even a bowls worth of shake in his car. He got a $400 fine, liscense suspended, 2 years probation, had to do community work, and go to drug and alcohol meeting things. Fucking shit...though that was the most harsh punishment any of my friends have had.
