Help! What's hemp? Got pulled over with male plant in car

bullshit

This is a classic example as to why people that use/grow need to educate themselves on mj, the law, what to do & say and what not to do & say when confronted with the law. Youthful indiscretions are bound to happen, but the sad part is that it could affect one's life for years to come. Sorry for your bad luck,Bwh, but learn from it and try to keep your wits about you. Take birdgirl's advice, she is on the money (as always) on this subject.

the gender of the plant was male, because i switched it into the 12/12 light cycle for about a week and noticed the male pre flowers. this was the only plant i have. but also, the officer, who was actually nice and helpful, told me that i all i would have to do is sign the ticket for speeding and the ticket for disorderly conduct(which did not mention the plant) and that would be the end of it. that's why i'm not sure why he would want to incriminate me further based on a simple question about the plant after the fact that the ticket was already written up. My parents already know and bugged out, because they called- which was probably because i had my 15 year old brother in the car. but when they called thursday night they said they were deciding if to charge criminally, and i have yet to receive a call. but i also have another question......if the plant was under a jacket,(completely hidden at least where I was in the drivers seat) and the younger officer asked to roll down the back window....reached in and lifted up the jacket....is that allowed?

Yes. It is allowed. You gave him consent to search by not knowing your rights and letting him proceed and even unrolling the window for him. He searched the visible spaces within the car, which is his job. Yes, it's allowed. It would even have been allowed if he'd taken the car apart, since you didn't know how or why to stop him, but patrol officers rarely go out of their way to take cars apart.

Start with your homework from my earlier post. Start now.

thanks birdgirl
