Busted w/ Pot - No Citation

Don't take this as me calling you out, Hos, but how many illegal things do YOU posses, whether it be unlicensed firearms or other arsenal that you have no such permit for? I don't know if you do, but if you do, kinda sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. And with you being...well, you, I wouldn't put it past you to have some kind of illegal gun, whether it be a full-auto, or a .22 with the firing pin shaven down. Pretty sure they're both illicit, but I've been wrong before.

Funny how there are substantial quantities of chemicals in cigarettes, and you can buy them over the counter for ~$5 a pack. Marijuana costs quite a bit more per serving, and (arguably) has medicinal purposes. When was the last time tobacco ever did someone's physical self ANY favors? Keep in mind that I smoke both, so there is no bias here.

Considering that California is so liberal, I figured it wouldn't even matter, since you had such a minute amount. You say x < 1/8 of an ounce? In some places, if you're of age, you can hold up to an ounce and be ok, however I think this may be restricted to your own house or other private property. Either way, it blows, but it could have been worse. Hide it before you start driving, my man.
 
One thing you forgot is that if the officer is able to get a K-9 unit to the stop within a reasonable amount of time and the dog hits on the car, that allows them to search your vehicle as well without a warrant or consent.

In all honesty, there are so many other things police in this country need to be focusing their attention on. When you bust someone with marijuana though it's an easy thing to prove, and in many areas it's just a citation kinda like drinking underage unless it's over 1.5 grams.
 
;1027224']In the state that my weapons reside in, I have 0. But hey, way to assume the worst and make a stupid judgement.



And tobacco helped cultivate the united states, and it doesn't impair one's judgement or raction behind the wheel.

Do I think pot should be legal? DUH. Yeah, I do. But just because you don't like the law doesn't make it okay to do. And how does a cop "see" a bag of weed?

Dude, what you do is drop your baggie into a smaller bag of coffee grounds. Shove that little baggie into a small container of something like hair putty/gel (make sure you can't see inside of it). Smooth over the top of the putty, throw it in a "hygene bag" for travel, and it gives no one any reason to suspect anything. Small amounts can be carried in lip balm jars or tubes.
 
Icarus, he caught you slipping. I think you should note that he was cool enough to offer you an option instead of simply confiscating AND writing the ($100?) fine. You're lucky anyway, we get upwards of a $500 fine, community service and usually drug court or compulsory out patient rehab. Yay for redneck states.

Anyway, this is why I only ride with what I'm going to smoke or can at least eat in the time it takes to get pulled over. I also never smoke if I'm carrying more than this.

Technically, sure, but in practice telling a cop that you refuse search will make them suspicious. What happens from there depends on what he's willing to do/fabricate to get into your car, or if he can call a k9 within a few minutes. There's also nothing stopping him from claiming he smells weed, regardless of whether he actually does. If you're smart he won't find your (small, because you're not an idiot, right?) stash anyway, and a quick once over will convince him you're not carrying. The few times I was searched I always consented, because it's quicker and the chances they're going to get into the place I put my shit is almost nil for a basic traffic stop.

Haven't you posted about doing e and coke before though?

This is kind of pointless since it won't negate the smell to a dog, and concealment can be basically anywhere out of plain sight.
 
Vacuum sealing in the proper bags (don't remember the name, the thick ones with the smallest holes) will leave no scent, so long as you don't contaminate the outside of the bag. Granted, this only lasts so long since plastic is porous, and the smell will eventually escape. But it's good enough for mailing or transporting.
 
Actually, tobacco does have some medicinal uses. It can calm diaphram spasms, reduce the production of stomach acid, and calm nerves.

on a side note; i find it funny how villified tobacco has become because people cultivated it for more nicotine. Pot growers have followed the same formula for years; they just don't add the burning agents and preservatives because, well, that'd be really expensive.
 
Well heck Icarus, I hate pot and all that, but you should have turned onto a road and waited until the cop was out of sight and go back and get your stuff.
 
WHAT??? How dare that cop pull you over for speeding!
And what the hell was he thinking glancing in the direction of your unconcealed bag of dope? And where the fuck does he get off letting you go without a citation? Some fucking people in this world have no common decency...

I think most of these have already been mentioned, but here's 4 basic tips that will make life easier for you in the future. Numbers 1 and 3 even rhyme!

1: Never speed if you're holding weed.
2: Always pee before you get in the car for a long drive. Twice.
3: If you're on the road, conceal your load.
4: Never save up for drugs. If you can't afford to buy them with your regular spending allowance, or "fun money" you don't really need them that badly. It sucks a lot less to have to dump out your stash if you can afford to just go get another bag.
 
I have to say I agree with almost everyone else on how you actually seemed to get off like a fucking bandit man. I support the police, but I know some of their tactics for searches can be infringing the law. That however was not. Is it truly fair to go off ranting on how much of a dick he was for giving you an out of speeding AND having marijuana on you? Come on man. And your relationship must be one of inspiration if you have to save and scrounge money to get high for a "celebration" before you guys are apart for two months? Isn't there better ways man..?
 
Yeah... like a nice dinner and then hours of railing that ass? :D I mean you guys are going to be apart for two months and all... get to it son. Maybe he caught teh ghey.
