Unda-cova cops

I realize that the police aren't really concerned with busting the 1/4 oz/week type guys like me. but lets say im gonna buy from someone who i haven't dealt with in the past. is there a good way to make sure they aren't an authority figure?

i know i should buy from someone i know... but i'm tired of the shit i've been getting from my guy (he's a good guy, but he's just not into quality). I've tried to network, find new people... nothing. I want to try and find someone who is a bit more of an aficionado. i want the dealer from american beauty. where do i find him?

You could ask if he is a cop, but a cop would probably still be able to lie about it. It also depends where you live, if you are in an area where it is weed friendly you prob have nothing to worry about. If you live where I live, you need to extend a little caution. Chances are however he isn't a cop or narc.

You have to use your own judgement though. How well do you know him. I don't like buying from people I'm not familar with for several reasons. And I avoid any dealer I know who sells meth, crack, etc.

yeah, fool-proof, get them to smoke with you.... atleast then, if it does go to court, you can either take him down with you, or get the charges thrown out...

in the US, cops can lie when working undercover. They can say they aren't a cop and can even smoke with you (assuming they aren't going to testify. For example, they may be wearing a wire or the transaction happens under surveillance). If they entrap you (say something like "as a police officer, i suggest you purchase these drugs") then your case will be dismissed. other than that, i cant think of a sure-fire way to stay safe.

The worst part is, i look like a cop (Big, tall, white, short hair). that tends to hinder my ability to make new "friends".

A cop can't ask you if you want to buy though, they have to wait for you to ask them. At least that is how I understand it. I'm pretty sure if the cop is the one who offers with out you asking for it, that is entrapment.

show me where a cop can legally smoke, for any reason..

...the movie Half Baked...

Those cops got stoned off second hand smoke. :S5:

I hope I have the right movie.

Have someone you know buy first,,,Nooo that is just rotten...

You have to have a gut for this kinda shit,,,go with your gut... You may want to change the meet place at the last minute,,,someone here suggested that once... if it's a sting cops usually have a backup and have to replan...

Police officers working undercover have exceptions from certain criminal laws. For instance, law enforcement officers directly engaged in the enforcement of controlled substance laws are exempt from laws surrounding the purchase, possession, sales or use of illegal substances. ref. 21 U.S.C. § 885(d) of the U.S. Code.

the only person who can order a cop to take a drug test is IA. for them to order it, there would be a case against the cop and he wouldn't be working undercover.
