I was thinking today about the many run ins I've had with cops in my day and am now just curious to hear others as well. (I realize there are plenty all around this forum, but it's easier if people just post good stories in here, that we we can all share/discuss). Anyways, I'll start I suppose with one (it's fairly epic): It all started with a trip to a small place about 30 minutes north of Salmon Idaho, out in the middle of nowhere. It was like a 9-10 hour drive from where I live, and a friend and I were going to pick up a childhood friend of ours to bring back. We stayed a few days there in the chill mountains of Idaho (Was fun, got stuck in the mountains for a while one day too....COLD). Anyways, on the drive back we smoked a lot (as with any road trip), but we also started to drink. I had brought up a large amount of shrooms to sell too, and we had plenty left and some duff. If you don't know what duff is, it's the mushroom shake....VERY VERY potent. Anyways, we all had decent shares, but decided not to do them until we got past the Mountain passes in Montana. My one friend also brought along some coke...now keep in mind this was my first and last time with it. So, we were near the Oregon/Washington border and although we all felt a bit cross faded the shrooms and coke wasn't kicking in in the least bit (my nose felt all fucked up though...coke is nasty). So, we stopped at what we thought was the Columbia river (it separates Oregon from Washington) and smoked a jay on the banks of it. Then WAM!, everything kicked in....we all started to trip out hard core...so we decided to continue our trek on to Oregon. Well, it turns out we weren't at the Columbia and we got lost, we trekked for like 45 mins before we got back on track, then we stopped off the highway on this dirt road in the middle of nowhere. My friend that we picked up from Idaho was tripping really hard and not talking at this point. He just stood in the middle of the road barefoot pacing with this crazed look on his face. We were low on gas and needed to get going, but he wouldn't get in the car, let alone talk to us. So, after multiple attempts to get him in we see these head lights coming towards him real fast. We run to get him out of the road then all of a sudden flashes of red and blue start going off...talk about trippy (I swear cop lights are made to trip people out at close range). My one friend and I explained to the cop that our friend was "drunk" but we had nothing. He went to ask him his name and he said nothing, just stared into his flashlight, bent down and poked it. The cop was weirded out, and kept saying he'd need his name. Then my friend finaly spoke, yelling his name, I'm (first name) fucking (last name). Then tried to get in a fight with the cop, we quickly pulled him away and started apologizing. The cop pulled me aside (keep in mind I am absulutely tripping out at this point, between the situation and the lights still on.) The coke had my hart just racing, the shrooms has me seeing crazy shit in the lights and the bud/alcohol just intensified it. I asked him where the nearest gas station was, he said it was just down the road and then I told him our complete story (other than the drugs of course). He looked at all of us, said get in your car and go. We were in aw, but our friend still wouldn't get in the car. We had to literally throw him in. In the car the entire time we had an opened 24 pack, lots of herb, and a scale right next to the remainder of the shrooms with a shitload of money too. I haven't done any psychedelics in a while (not directly due to this, as I tripped after this event), and I'll never do coke again. I just prefer mind expanding substances.... So, what's your story?
"Many run ins I have had with cops in my day."! You're only 19. You haven't had many days..... One night while stoned I walked up to a police officer and asked him if his cab was taken. He said no, get in. I did. He took me to jail. Wonderful. I have since gotten out. Several times.
busted for possesion, busted for streaking(embarassing), recently busted for breaking curfew and thats it, though there have been many other run ins that wernt as troubleing, like an off duty cop stopping and threating to arrest me and my friend for littering, than making us pickup our litter in the busy street.
i got pulled over while completly hammered one night and totaly forgot about the 20 blue xanex i had wrapped up in a phonebook page in my pocket.i know that its crazy to forget about having allthose xanies but i was really hammered.when the officer found them he sat the opened page on the hood of my truck and keep patting me down i heard a call over the radio his partner was searching my friend so the cop with me went to answer the radio.siezing this opurtunity i quickly grabbed the page and started to funnel those suckers down the cop noticed this and ran over but a well placed stiff arm slowed him down allowing me toget 16 down (best night of sleep anyones ever had in an ol cold ass cell)i shuld have just let them keep them i got more time for obtsruction then i would have got for the pills.so many stories so little time
one sunday, 4 friends and i were on the way up a local mountain to go snowboarding for the day. of course, we packed a bowl or two for the ride. well, my friend driving took a corner too fast and there were two sheriffs just sitting there. so they pulled us over and when they did, they said they could smell marijuana. so, they made us all get outa the car while they searched it. not to mention searched us, i got manhandled by a butch cop, wasnt too happy about that. i was the only one of all my friends who wasnt possessing ANYTHING. and i was 17 at the time, so i didnt get charged but all my friends had court dates for possession. we still went snowboarding that day....
Maybe in your state its different but I can assure you that where I live, "smelling weed" does not jusitfy a search, as long as you don't consent to the search. Where are you getting your facts from? If it's from personal experience, I feel bad for you...
Smelling weed sure does constitute proable cause in any state I have heard off. Wheather they can or not this is what a cop will say to justify a search, espeacally if they find some, and when you go to court 99% of the time the judge will take their word for it.
One quick story about surviving police encounters. Back when I was in high school a friend and I got pulled over in his car right after we got a qp. being young and dumb we couldn,t wait to try it so we were smoking a fatty rolling down Newbury St. in Boston, so off course we got stopped. It was like a scene from Cheece and Chong smoke pouring ot of the window when the cop steped to the car. He orders us out and says "OK guys who's got the weed?" My man was thinking quick pulls out his bowl starts crying and says we had some but we smoked it all in this. Cop takes this in looks at me and says" you got a licence" yes I said. Then he says "I want you to think real hard about the answer to this next question, did you smoke any pot?" Nope "good answer" he says. He wrote my man a ticket for a lane violation or some shit and told me to drive the car straight home. Gotta love the BPD, if your a nomal looking white kid with a Boston accent you can do anything. Of course this was 15 years ago and Boston has changed alot.
