IF you were a Cop

[killerzland]

if u woke up tomrow adn were a cop, wat would you do if you saw people smokeing, dealing ect?

would u do your job and confiscate the weed and charge them, or would you be leaniant? opinionss

Use your head... the cop has a job to do... thats what he gets PAID for doing. Thats how he keeps a roof over his family's head and feeds them. Cops have to do random piss tests too...just because. They are supposed to set the example for "John Q. Public".

[stinkyattic]

Steve is correct.
Cops are doing what they are paid to do.
Before this turns into a cop-bashing thread (and if it does, it WILL be nuked), think about the responsibility of doing the job you get paid to do.
So if you don't like laws against people smoking, blame your fellow voters, not the people who have to enforce them.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I'd quit.

[IThinkIamFeelingit]

Dear diary, If I was a cop tommorrow I would do lots of things different than what I see going on today..first, the uniforms, those things are hideous and hot..I would choose the uniform of the day as shorts, tank top and flip flops..2nd- Guns! who needs guns,,the only ones I need are the guns..if I wrap my arms around a criminals neck, it will be like a boa constrictor..he will tap out..3rd- I will turn my head to all cannibis users..they are now exempt from the law..do what you please..you are my friends...:)

[king of the world]

i'd ask them to share and if they dont i will arrest them. you got the love the power of the law.

but seriously i would turn the other cheeck. i would be worried about gangbanggers not no damn hippy stoner.

[JaggedEdge]

If it were solely weed, I would confiscate it and let them go. If someone were dealing harder drugs, I would arrest him.

As for them just doing their job... there job isn't clean cut. I know a cop who rarely arrests people for DUI because he drives drunk sometimes himself. I also know of cops who usually won't be a dick for weed, because most of their friends smoke.

I have also gotten out of a DUI because one of my friends called a mutual friend of ours on the force and he in turn radioed the officers currently arresting me to please release me.

Yes they are just doing their jobs, but some don't enforce the law to it's full extend due to personal beliefs.

With that said, I would never be a cop. Risking my life daily for an unappreciative populace while constantly having to deal with the dumbest of society. No thank you.

[killerweed420]

Officers have a lot of discretion in performing there duties.If I were a cop I would ignore laws clearly unconstitional.Partaking of natural substances,not using a seatbelt,not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle.There are a lot of laws that clearly violate your constitional rights.I'd just ignore them and spend my time more wisely on going after violent offenders.

[Boricua]

I would be the coolest cop. Like the ones in superbad jeje. I would encourage the kids to not drink alcohol and smoke weed. And to say no to coke and those other kinds of drugs. And would definately try to eliminate violence and the use of guns.

[Purple Banana]

Definately not. I will not arrest someone for doing something that does not harm them personally, or someone indirectly.

And if I got fired? Good, I didn't ask to be a cop!

[mfqr]

I'd ignore people smoking cannabis... and I'd ignore the pot dealers. In fact, I'd ignore all illicit drugs and drug users, unless they are endangering others. I don't agree with the war on drugs in any way, shape or form. And I wouldn't change my mind if I suddenly woke up as a police officer. Just because it's their job, doesn't mean they need to enforce such laws. They're supposed to, but I wouldn't enforce those particular laws. In fact, if I saw another cop busting someone for cannabis, I'd try to get him to not bust them for it.

Good point, banana.
And I would do the same as you, killerweed420.

[iNHALE.xHALE.]

if i woke up as a cop id kill myself

no...joking aside, id probably quit just like BoyWonder says..

[blunt smoker]

Well since I am a cop and I smoke and see my friends smoke, I wouldn't stop them, I'd probably join them. :pimp:

[thcbongman]

Depends on how respectful they treat me.

If they say "fuck you, blah blah blah" I'll arrest them.

If they're courteous, I'll let them go, and won't confiscate.

[igot4cheep]

If i where a cop i would sell a DVD on how to hide weed in your car.

[Nightstar]

It comes down to being smart and using good judgment...

Don't drive or operate heavy machinery right after smoking.

Don't be involving young kids.

And last Enjoy!!!

[IThinkIamFeelingit]

make sure I write that down

[ridindirty777]

If i where a cop i would sell a DVD on how to hide weed in your car.

And you would make a killing of money.


But anyway I think the question should be, if you were a narc, and pulled over someone on the interstate transporting over $500k in drug money what would you do? :rasta:

[blunt smoker]

make sure I write that down

Haha. For what?

[NextLineIsMine]

Id be pretty biased probably, if it were just some peaceful looking stoner hippie id give them their weed and say enjoy your day. If they were calling me a fucking pig etc id grind up their buds on the ground and let them go anyway
