So I got stopped last night for failure to stop at what was, in my mind, an obstructed stop sign. They tell me they smell marijuana and ask if I have any marijuana in my car, I say no. The officer at my window has me get out, as the other officer on my passenger side just continues to rummage through my shit as he was doing since they got to my car. To make a long story short, they are trying to nab me with pos. d, and pos b with intent... The best part about this story- the flagrant ignorance of the officers who arrested me. The first officer was so close to my face he was spitting on my face as he was bitching and i said something to him that ended with the word "man." Now I don't know about you, but I believe every person is just that, a person, and as long as I am not grossly disrespecting them, I can address them how I want. So, they ask me if they look like ghetto mother fuckers, I guess it's real ghetto to say man... Here I was thinking that I rejected the whole pop gangsterism thing, but I guess not. Then, the cop says something to me that ends in bro.... When I point it out, he tells me he's starting to talk like me from being around me too much, and I asked, oh so you mean talking like a person? and he shut up. Next, the hick bastard officer is just like squirting in his pants, going "o yea baby this car is mine, oh yea, the paperwork will all be through in three days, and one of my detectives will be driving it." It's like yea look at me dealing bricks of cocaine and heroin... wtf? They're gonna seize my car? At this point, I thought it couldn't get any more ludicrous, but it does. The hick cop was apparently the head of the drug force, and has been so for twelve years. You figure he might know something about drugs... SOMETHING. Then he tries telling me that the substances I was allegedly in possession of with intent to sell are as bad as heroin. Marijuana is as bad as heroin... right pal. I don't know if he thought I was an ignoramus, or if it was just his lack of intelligence due to centuries of inbreeding? When I question him about the marijuana and heroin comparison, he goes, well, it's as bad as ecstasy... Yet another awesome comparison, Sitting under a bridge, in the nod, broken dirty needle in your arm, just drooling all over... or dancing and being happy at a club or concert.. ignorance runs rampart in the worst places. Then he tells me I have a problem with society. Here I was thinking that society might have a problem with me due to the fact that they have declared a war on me. So that was last night. Today I call the vice and they tell me they are definately seizing my car along with all my property. So, you know, all my GD cd's, live phish 1-20 (those weren't even mine), blue floyd cd's, schoolbooks, school notebooks, just loads of shit that was chilling in my car that they have no business even touching because I am not a drugdealer. These fucking swine tell me that the amount I am accused of possession is enough for them to seize my car.. I don't even know the amounts they accused me of having yet as I haven't had a chance to see the police report.. I had like 30 bucks of my own money in my pocket, and i am driving a kia, with a smashed window and broken blinkers... YEA I'M FUCKING BLING BLINGING OVER HERE YOU WHORES. You would swear I was selling bricks of heroin to twelve year old girls in a friendly suburban neighborhood by what they were able to seize. I mean, seriously, the war on drugs is a bit out of hand. As soon as I am done with this bs, probation, jail, fines whatever, I am fucking out of this shitty country. I used to think I was born in the wrong generation, but now it's clear I am in the wrong country. Fuck the war on drugs.
Wait a secend dude, did the other officer ask you if he could search your car? Did you say yes or no? Fight it in court, they can't search you or your posessions with our your consent or a warrent, (they can pat you down for weapons, but thats it). Fight it in court, I dont think they can't do that dude, they will have to throw out the evidence. Check www.norml.org, they got some great information on protecting yourself from pigs.
Thats seriously fucked up man, they cant possibly get away with that. Get yourself a good lawyer man!
If the cop says the car smelt like marijuana then thats probable cause. They don't need a warrant if they have probable cause. He can argue that the car diddn't smell like weed, but that would never work, mainly because they found weed in his car, on top of the fact, it's a criminals word vs two reputable police officers.
A good lawyer will beat the claim that smelling weed was probable cause, (unless there were roaches in the ashtray). Smells can be imagined or misinterpreted or blowing on the wind. But it sounds like they acted with consent. You must object to the search. Silence is assent.
the cops can get away with whatever they want, its totaly scariest ting in the world.....my buddy got put away for 30 years to life, for what...just fucking guess....weed....not even a half and he had his dads un at his house, while his dad was there, and j ust because he has been charges before, they got him, and got him good....they claimed to find child pornography cd's at his house, then in court, they didnt have them, and never had them, then gold cds turned into floppy discs, and never had thoe either, that just proves that they were trying to fuck him over, and his first lawyer didnt do anything about it, so he fired him, nad he went through like five other lawyers,and he had to get one fomr out of state, atleast, because oklahoma is all screwed up and corrupt....this was all two years ago about, and they are still trynig to get his case up to supreme court or someting........my point being, the government is in control, if they want you gone, dead, whatever, they can make it happen, even if you re remotely innocent or completely..... i cant stand our government....not like any other is much better, but....
Yet another evil criminal taken off the streets so he cannot possibly harm any innocent people with his poisonous second-hand doobie smoke. Good fucking job Officer Fucko and Officer Shitface. Y'all deserve fucking MEDALS for this
...Speeding, does NOT constitute grounds for searching your car, in any state. A niece 'n BF were just busted for "possession of drug paraphenalia"(a bong and a glass pipe, both used) and charged with "illegal use" of a controlled substance. $2,000 bond EACH! They made both her and her BF take UA's at the jailhouse.. Hers was hot with thc, his was clean.(he doesn't smoke) BOTH are required to call in daily for random ua's, if the drug counselor says they have to test and they don't show, that day. Mandantory 5 days county jail. He works out of town, so getting in to test is a real burden on his job. He has taken 3 ua's for them, all clean, and he still is required to test twice a week. All this without ever being convicted of anything, only "accused"..."alleged". WTF ever happened to Innocent untill proven[/i] guilty???
Ill tell you. Its still in effect. U sed it yourself, she dropped hot with THC... guilty! As for the BF, he was with her at the time... and probably knew she was tokin.. its like being with people that broke into a house that stole stuff, and even if u didnt touch anything, or even waited in the car at the time (and mite have not even knew they wer stealing), your "assisting to Breakin and entering" Shit... just dont get caught next time.... in SOME/MOST Situations, when people get caught, its their own damn fault (ex: leavin their pipe out, weed on the floorboards of their car, comin into ure parents house reeking of weed/red eyes, actin dumb in front of the cops), so they deserve to get caught, not sayin I dont feel bad for what happend, but still, u play with matches u eventually get burnt.
That reminds me of the time this cop came to my house. I decided to skip school and play guitar and write all day. This cop who lives down at the other end of the street shows up (don't know how in the hell he knew... all my neighbors are gone in the day except for a couple old ladies on the other end of the street... and I could have been sick). He went down the street and came back and pulled into my driveway. I happened to be playing mandolin on the porch at the time and then he started talking to me and asked me if I did drugs and all of his shit. I mean, what the fuck... I told him I was sick and I didn't sound that sick then asked if my parents knew... Things seem to be getting more and more fucked up all the time.
Wait...so did they find anything on you? I didn't see anything in the post where you menitoned them actually finding pot on you, or in your car...
If he's not on duty he is a regular person. Next time tell him to fuck off and leave you alone. If he is on duty, and you're not doing anything illegal (sitting on your porch playing a mandolin is not illegal unless you've got it going through five stacks for a neighborhood concert) tell him you don't have time to talk and go inside. I know that if cops around here see teenagers downtown near the high school when school is supposed to be in session, the kids can get in trouble. BUT, you are at home... so I don't think he can really say shit. Cops are fucked up people. "Hey look at that kid playing mandolin on his porch, GASP, maybe I can ruin his day somehow..." You think people are fucked up? Cops are some of the MOST fucked up. Cops are just angry children set out to abuse the tiny amount of power they are given... and to thirst for more power, so they can abuse it even more. Wait... did I say president? No, no I didn't, but.... wow, striking similarities... lol.
