Here is a great guide on how to deal with the police if you are in deep shit. https://www.erowid.org/freedom/police/police_info1.shtml You should read the whole guide. About implied consent, this only applies to DUI. Implied consent means that the police have the right to test you for drugs (breathalizer) if they have reason to believe that you are DUI. If you still say no, then you will pretty much be assumed guilty AND you will lose your lisence for 12 (additional) months.
Man all they need is probable cause to search your vehicle. I have THE most important piece of info I got from a cop that has saved my ass so many times it isn't funny: Lock whatever you have in your glovebox or trunk and tell the cops you don't have the key. The will need a warrant to pry it open and everyone should know...those take 24 hours to get...what cop will sit there that long waiting for it. haha So let them search your car if they are going to be an ass about anything. With your shit locked in the glovebox/trunk, you will be safe. Even if they have a drug dog smell your vehicle and go ape shit.....it's still considered probable cause and with your vehicle locked down, they still need a warrant to open it up.
the only problem with the trunk is that in most cars nowadays there is a lever on the inside of the car to open the trunk. no key required
Well the bottom line is that if it is locked it will be assummed that you are hiding something so most likely they will get what they desire. That "Never get busted" video was interesting. The dog handler can make the dog give a false positive and *poof* probable cause. No pipe, no papers, no open beverages. Hide the stash (a j or 2 at the most). -Bill
See that's where a good mechanic or someone you know who knows their way around a vehicle comes into play. Have them bust the switch to release the trunk to where you can only open it via key. Problem solved. Shit, my guy and I went as far as busting the computer chip that controls the gear shifter in our new car, so only we could get it into gear....not a car thief.
Oh and let them assume I am hiding something, they do that anyway without me saying a thing (I am covered with tattoos and have dreads). Fuck them, searching my shit without a warrant and let them assume whatever they want, as long as my ass won't get charged for anything it's all worth it. Assumptions don't stick like drug charges do.
That would never hold up in court... and it could never be used as proof. They might give you a slightly harder time if you really looked guilty, but like he said, what cop is going to keep you there for 24 hours to get a warrant. But, does it really take 24 hours?
Depends on your location, but usually NO. In most cases they can get a warrant fairly quickly. In some states magistrates can sign off on warrants.
Just another piece of advice... keep it small. If you're out for the evening you don't need to take your whole stash along for the ride if a j or 2 will do the trick. Cops want to be superheros, they want to make the BIG drug bust with a street value of 64 zillion dollars; if they do search you or your vehicle and turn up a roach, you're likely to get off with a warning and the cop taking your weed. "Bob, I know you're a good boy so I'm letting you off if you promise to never do this again..." Unsaid is that his fellow cops will laugh him out of the donut shoppe when they hear that he made a bust of a roach. The District attorney will likewise chew his ass off for wasting everybodys' time. Think small.
I'm pretty sure they dont need a warrant once a drug dog smells the stuff.. because ive seen them if you deny consent to search the vehicle, then theyll bring a drug dog around the sides and if it scratches theyll, go on in without warrant.. i dont see why they need that for the glove box for in car, i think a safe thing is to not drive like a maniac, obey all traffic laws.. so theres no reason to be pulled over. also use incognito stash tins.. soda cans and what not those are ill
