so say i bought a bong (or water pipe) from my local headshop, i then bought a bag of tobacco and smoked the water pipe full of tobacco right infront of a cop. He couldn't do anything about it right?
what if i had a big circle of friends just passing it around right infront of him?
oh and say that this was a fresh clean bong, no marijuana residue or anything
Absolutely technically...no. I dont believe he could legally do anything. But he's NOT going to be happy or think its funny, and it will only mean trouble for you.
I've thought about doing it too man, would love to see the look on his face right?
exactly i mean get a bunch of your friends (all over 18) and just make a huge circle with you like rolling cigarettes and passin the bong hahahaha
he comes up and your just like "Is there a problem officer?
A lot of states have "disturbing the peace" or similar statutes that the courts are allowed to interpret very broadly. Unless you were in a hookah shop or something I could totally see a cop citing someone for that... given that a bong is 99% of the time associated with illegal drug use.Quote:

I would think you would probably just get hassled and searched... and I think the search would be legal too, under probable cause.
My dad was a cop for 15+ years. He told me a story of these 2 people on a street corner of a busy intersection that were smoking out of a hooka. He stopped, checked it out, nothing but flavored tobacco, so he left them alone. simple as that.
lol go take some bong hits of tobacco and tell me how it feels :)
Try some spice gold/diamond , smoke or sence infront of a cop, then you can get royally shit faced at the same time.
how about we smoke real ganja in front of a cop. I did at a concert and they left me at peace :-D Probably because hundreds of other people were smoking also :rasta: Deep down, they know it doesn't hurt anyone. Their just trying to do their job really. Many states have made it their lowest priority.
Put it on Youtube if you do it...I gotta see that!! lol:jointsmile:
That would be fun, but I just dont have $100 bucks to spend for posession lol.
I wonder if I would get busted for posession and for smoking in public. Considering here, in san diego, el cajon, your not allowed to smoke ciggs in public. I wonder if it's only ciggs?
Hey Tyler,
Just a fair warning,
before you go off and do something crazy again.
You aren't really allowed to say anything positive here on this forum about cops, in fact I believe the rule is you have to act like you are Rodney King everytime you talk about them. And if you do say something positive then you are opening yourself up to all sorts of flamers. I am just kidding of course, kind of. It's pretty sad but true that 99% of the time when anyone mentions police here they are talking about all sorts of stupid shit like fighting them, or saying that all cops are shit, or whatever. Believe me, I have tried many many times to explain to people that cops do not make the laws, they are just doing their jobs, but it never works. It's kind of sad really, and a glaring example of why people look down on others that use cannabis. Oh well, what would you expect on a cannabis forum?:jointsmile::jointsmile:
Take care brotha!:D
By the way, I am still saying Prank. You know what I am talking about!;)
yeah you're right, I think the relationship between police and much of the public if they stopped arresting people for such petty crimes like a bit of weed.
I know if drugs were legal I think it would improve things, If I'm walking down the street with cannabis on me and I walk past a cop I get a rush of adrenaline. I would have no problem with the police if they weren't arresting for such petty things.
And think about how kids look at the police, "all the do is arrest us", "they harrass us" or they "ruin our fun" with such stupid stupid policies no wonder kids hate the police.
Some cops are real cunts though they take pleasure in arresting people for minor things you can see the glee when they find something on you It's like a "time to make little piggy pot smoker squeal and squirm".
You get good and bad in all aspects of life but when you get bad people who are in charge of the law then you get problems.
I remember one policeman who came up to some friends of mine in a park (they had just rolled a massive spliff) he comes over say "what do we have here then" takes the joint off them sparks it up and says "I'm glad it's nothing stronger lads or I would of had to arrest you" takes a few tokes hands them back the spliff and leaves.
I think, why go looking for trouble. Surely, you have better things to do. Than waste the policeman's time and taxpayers (us) money, just to see what they will do! It can get expensive, even if you get arrested for something that was bogus. Do you really want that over your head!
I've had mostly good dealings with the police and have had to work with them at times. They are human also! If you worked in a 7-11 and someone came in and sprayed cool whip all over the place (their own)/ Blocked the most popular isle of sale. then stayed and cleaned it up! How would you feel? These people need to make money and you are impeding their business. Same with the police, Pretty much, you are taking time from a cop that could be helping someone that really needs it!
Not saying all cops are perfect, some are still in training. But, most are trying to uphold some peace in our country and keeping us safe! Sure, smoking in public would be nice, but you can't even do it with cigs in most places now, so why waste the cops time! And possibly your money and time, if you get one that had a bad day!
maybe a good hobby, like growing would take up that boredom or adrenaline hi you are looking for! Just a thot and only an opinion! Surely, you'll do what you feel you have the time and money for!:jointsmile:
why would you bring that kind of observation on you?
all you did if you really did that is make the cops watch you.
bad idea.
