Caught by police

Last night me and my mate went to a friends house to smoke spliffs and watch his new David Gilmore live dvd. So after that we make our way home and stop for a few spliffs on the way back. After we smoke a couple we head back to our homes. We're about a minute away from home and a cop car slowly drives past and opens the window and says "Can you just take your hood down for me" so i do and carry on walking. They continue driving really slowly down the road, like they were watching us. We turn the corner towards home, they reverse and come down the corner towards us.

They get out and chat to us because somethings happened, they wont tell me what but from what the radios were saying it was some sort of assult. They start asking me and mate questions about where we been that night we said "at a friends watchin a dvd, just walked back". Then they ask "have been smoking anything?" "No" "Then why do you smell of cannabis?" "I smoked a few at my mates" "Got any on you now?" "Nope".

At this point my mate who was being questioned by the other cop said "Lets not do this in front of my house, go down the road a bit." So they agree to that and said just get in the car and we'll go to the corner. I thought fuck that so i walked with the other cop whilst my mate got in the car. I just thought they might try to pull a fast one. Anyway, that was all fine, we got to the next road and they contine chatting saying that they're going to search us because we both said we'd smoked (probably not the best thing we could have said but as we reeked of it and were rather stoned it was obvios). I just admitted to having a spliffs worth and took it out of my pouch and handed it over because thats the first place they were going to search, and they would have found it. Also my grinder was in my pouch, he was going to put it in along with the confiscated weed but i said "Nah, not my grinder. Ive had that for ages." And he gave it back to me.

The other cop says "how does this work then" talking about the grinder and i said "like you dont know" and he says "yeah, but lets not get into that".

Anyway, me and my mate both got our shit confiscated i had about .5 and he had about 2.5. And we got a warning which is our second one. So next time we'll be arrested.

It annoyed me that we got caught when they werent even looking for us. Surely looking for the person that did the assult is more important than confiscating weed of a couple of harmless stoners, bastards.

EDIT: when i got home i opened my grinder and smoked a bowl of kief which was in there. So at least i didnt lose that.

Look on the bright side...here in the states (the one I live in) if you get caught you go to the slammer no matter what. Although you can get out on a low bail (about $500 - $1000) and get a 2 year suspended sentence, it's pretty much on your record.

I almost envy you guys, I wish they gave us three warnings here but they're so hateful about it they'd rather see you rot in a cell.

ahh ul Wil. Dirty babylon!
If you have your ganja in a grinder and they ask you to open it, just spill it everywhere, there is no way they are going to pick up grinded weed! It does work, my brother done it and it went all over the cops leg, and nothing happened!

My mate got a 1/4 chucked into a bush by a completely out of order piggy but about 3/4 of the 1/4 landed on a big leaf [he showed me what kinda bush it was, massive leaves that almost cup haha] so as soon as the cop left [the cop made em walk on] they went back and got it. Haha. That's a good idea though, so drop the ground up shit. I remember rolling outside once and i dropped the joint before i could roll it into long wet grass :( I nearly cried - i was lookign for it all for over 10 mins, got about 3 little tiny ground up bits that were wet.


Also, are they giving warnings these days? Or is that to under 18's?

I've never had a warning, they've either confiscated it and wished me a good day or they've said "not in public mate" and left it.

Anyway, be thankful England isnt as stupidly outrageously harsh as America.

Fuck the arbitrary laws of ancient babylon

ugh yea, I hated rolling outside sometimes. Threw my younger years I could have probably rolled in a fucking sand storm or some shit though I had to get used to it.
Under 18's don't get warnings, busted. Over 18's get a street caution, then I think its depending on how much you get busted with from then on.
My mate got caught 4 times with really small amounts, the 5th time (he had 0.8 on him) he went to court and got a £180 fine.
When I got busted (15 years old) with half oz, 47 pills, 2 wraps of MDMA and £141.67 cash, I outright denied it all and said I found it and got put on "reprimand". If I get busted for any offense then I'm fucked from then on.

At least they let you walk away. In the states, they use the same bogus description stuff to harass people. It's a worldwide epidemic.

fuck tha police

I just moved to London from the US. After being busted in Texas for having .6g and getting a 500 dollar fine, 3 months of probation and 36 hours in the slammer I feel relieved that I have com to a country that isn't completely mental. After living in the US for the last 5 years I have been thoroughy impressed with law enforcement over here. They seem less worried about busting the average citizen and more focused on the bigger picture. But I'm comparing it to the police state I used to live in, anything is an improvement.

St. Johns Wood in North-Central London. Where are you at?

The brutal streets of East London.

How you liking England then?

It's such a nice change from the USA. I love the public transportation and the pub scene is just awesome. Its a tad expensive for my tastes but not unmanageable. Most importantly, the women over here are impressive. It takes a lot of looking to find an overweight person over here compared to Houston aka Fat-ville. People just seem healthier and much nicer. My sister goes to the American School up here and is hooking me up with an 8th of skunk from one of the friends shes made recently. It will be my first toke since August 4th. I'm pretty excited to see the bud I've heard you talk about. My neighbourhood is insanely rich and makes me feel little inadequate seeing as my neighbours have a bentley and the guy across the street a lambourhini. Thats about all I can think of. Hope fully this bud comes through tonight. I'm dying.

I hope it's good stuff for you mate. It should be - but make sure you give it a once over - there's been abit of gritshit going around.

Have a good'un mate!

Man im glad I live in California...as long as its a Oz or less, its just a misdemeanor punishable by a max of a $100 fine. usually they dont even write a ticket, they just confiscate it. Luckly ive got my medical card...no cop can fuck with me.

Yeah but they don't go after people with posession. They have bigger fish to fry so to speak. They go after the growers, the big-time dealers, and even medical marijuana clinics. Assholes is what they are.

There was a cannabis club in MODESTO california that was raided by the DEA, I believe these gentlemen are awaiting trial facing life in prison for conspiracy to manufacture marijuana. They were selling to non-patients, it makes the whole entire medical marijuana movement look bad.

The feds really won't mess with anybody who has simple possession unless they were going out of their way to make an example of you. It's kind of like that in Portland Oregon--the police don't really care too much about marijuana cause there are so many fucked up crackheads walking around chinatown it's ridiculous. I get asked everyday if I "need anything?" by some crackhead...i'm like "dude do i look like i fucking smoke crack??" These people are the people the DEA should be going after!

dam bro that sucks...i swear all the pigs are good for is giving car tickets and confiscating bud from ppl...their worthless.....wasting their time on some car chase that can end in 1 min.....and also they show that worthless shit on tv....it jus pisses me off sorry
