police cracking down on my ass

for the last 3 moths Ive gotten in quite a bit of trouble with the police (majority due to pot possession). it all started in the middle of the summer when i was driving on my way home from my buddies house in nh. it was 1 in the morning and a cop pulled me over for doing 80 in a 65. so he comes up to the window gets my liscense and tells me that he smells alchohol on my breath so it would be a good idea to allowhim to search my truck. (i hadnt been drinking). so he searches my truck and finds 2 pipes that have a little bit of weed in each of them. so he slapped the cuffs on me and took me to the slammer lol. sucked but still got to work the next day with no sleep.
so 2 weeks ago i went to court to pay the fines for the charges that were pressed against me. i had possesion of pot and transportation. i go into the court room and get called up and start talking to the judge. she asked me if i was high at the moment which sort of offended me (im going to court to fight charges not gonna smoke before it). i was tired because im now in college(umass amherst) and its a 3 hour ride back to portsmouth nh and i had to be there by 8 am. so anyways since i had no other charges they let me out on good behavior probation till my next court date which is on the 29th of oct. which sucks cause i have to drive back in a month. o well not too bad. well on my way back to college i stop by my house and talk to some of my old buddies. we roll up a blunt and u buy an ounce because weed is so expensive in college. i head back to college and i go over a hill on the highway and theres a state trooper with his gun pointed right at me. i no i was going about 80 and he points at me and tells me to pull over. i almost shit my pants because i have an ounce and a mini scale on me in the car. so i try pulling over but theres a shitload of traffic and i look in the rearview and the cops stillwalking back to his car. so i floor it and fly off the next off ramp and manage to get away form the cop (saw him goiong atleast 120 whil i was on a overpassing bridge). almost shitttttttt my pants lol but i got away. well get a call from my dad saying that i got a ticket in the mail for 300 for speeding. not too bad considering what could have happened if i had gotten caught with the pot and scale. so after that i thought everything would settle down and id begin to have a good time at college. last night i go outside wit 3 of my friends to smoke a blunt. we walked from our dorms into the woods a little ways away. we come out of the woods and theres the pigs, just waiting there. we were already in the parking lot when we noticed them so we decided to just keep walking to make it not look sketchy. well the cop runs out of his car starts screaming at us and tells us to sit on the ground and empty ourpockets. we sat on the ground but did not empty out pockets because there was really no need to, he did not catch us doing anything. the cop calls for backup and now theres like 4 cruisers in the parking lot at midnight and were all high and i have a warrant for my arrest. I knew i had a scale on me and could have sworn that i had a bag of bud on me. well we all got searched and i apparently didnt have the weed but i did have a scale and they were trying sooooooooo hard to get me to caugh up some info ect on why i had it if i was pushin and stuff like that. well turns out that a scale isnt paraphanelia and the cops were pissed that we didnt have anything else on us and let us go and gave me my scale back. but before i left the cops were saying how i was on the radar and they know it was all me who got them the weed (which is partly true). sorry for the long post but kinda need to get this out considering my good friends are a couple fo hours away. what are anybodies thoughts, and i just a fuckin idiot? lol that what im thinking. but im voting yes on number 2:jointsmile:

I would have to agree.. no offense.. that you are not that bright. The cops are not breathing down your neck, but rather you are creating a situation for trouble.

When transporting hide your stash well, never consent to searches, and obey all the traffic laws regardless of what time it is. Also never smoke out in public, at night, in a place you shouldn't be.

If you don't stop making stupid decisions you are going to end up in jail, but I'm no lawyer so don't take it from me.

I would say good luck but I feel no sympathy for people who bring trouble upon themselves.

Lets keep it simple....First off, you keep drawing attention to yourself.... speeding, bunch o guys coming outta the woods at night.... your asking to get stopped and checked. Bet your prolly driving "cop candy" too....windows with real dark tint, fancy wheels, tunes blasting, sub rockin the neighborhood, etc.

Your getting stopped and harrassed becaust you forgot 2 simple rules....
1) What you do in the privacy of *YOUR* own home is your business, but what you do in public is subject to scruteny.
2) Don't put yourself in a position where somebody has to do something about it in the first place.

Nobody ever got stopped for driving an econobox the speed limit that was all stock, and had normal windows in it, and the volume turned down.

BTW... if the cop says that he smells alcohol. then *DEMAND* a breathalyzer test, and do *NOT* allow him to search your vehicle....roll up the windows and lock the doors.

Damn!!! You have nothing but bad luck with the cops. Try to stay low for a month or so.
It would be nice if you made paragraphs in your post but no biggie.

Oh and hydrow33d, paragraphs and spacing help.

Why do you speed while you have weed and a scale in your car..doesnt make alot of sense

just a fyi, the "are you under the influence" question they ask in court is for a reason, not because they think you are high. I guess legally you can't agree to anything while under the influence of a substance and it be legally binding, or something similar to that. Had you used a lawer, it prolly would have been him asking the question and not the judge.

And RedLocks just saved ME some typing! Haha. They ask everyone that to determine if they are mentally able to enter into binding legal agreements or make statements on the record.

Kid, you are not doing it right. None of it, life, nothing. Chill out, and what's with driving around with scales? We do NOT allow talk of dealing here and unless you are on the world's strictest diet (and there had better be bits of oatmeal stuck under the tray of the scale to prove it), driving around with pot and scales means just that.

Oh God, I just realized where you are. Jesus Fucking Christ. Chill! Go to class, get smart, knock of the dumb shit. And don't be bombing around town at 80, that just pisses off the locals and makes us despise UMass kids. We are the ones who sling your slices at Antonio's and serve you pitchers at Charlie's and own the houses you live in... a good relationship is important.

This post if bursting at the seams with win. I award you six internets.

Ive been in the same position. Biggest things are you just can't speed at all because the po po now have it out for you and want to fill their quota and privacy and discretion when smoking is necessity. Its a massive snowball effect that goes bad soon if you dont make serious changes.

basically dude, you just need to stop and think before you do the stupid shit you do. Like is it really necessary to be hauling ass down the street with weed/paraphernalia on you? Are you really in that big of a hurry that you don't care about going to jail? come on man. Why are you carrying around scales and shit? you leave that stuff at the house. If you need it that bad, keep it hidden and not actually on you. Are you really even in college? because most of the people i know that smoke at my college definitely know better than to do stuff like that, plus they also know how to use paragraphs/correct grammar.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but you really do need to stop and think man. You also need to know your rights and become an informed citizen. If an officer asks you to search your car, you can refuse. They need probable cause before they can do that. If you hadn't been drinking then why did you just give into the officer? Stand up for yourself.

You stuck out like a sore thumb. That's why they were messing with you.

You know... there is a big difference here.... I went out of county last night to drop off a couple ounces to a friend who is in a very dry area. What I took up there was very stanky, and even though I had it in the inside pocket of my heavy leather motorcycle jacket, I could smell it all the way up there. I obeyed the driving laws and passed a few officers both sitting parked and patrolling and none bothered me. I stayed a while and enjoyed a nice bon fire. I got back onto my bike around 2am and headed home.
It was cold, especially with a half helmet so i stroked it all the way.... until I came up behind a county deputy doing 90 in a 55.... he slid to the shoulder allowing me to pass... as soon as I saw him hit his brakes I knew it was a cop.... I let off the throttle and coasted past him. He came right out behind me and hit the blues...
I pulled into a country church parking lot so we would both be safe from anyone hitting up on the shoulder. He gets out and first thing he asks is "Why are you running so fast?" And I told him I was trying to get home out of the cold. He says something like "it is kind of cold to be out on a bike." I get off my bike and pull my wallet out to get my license out and realize I can still strongly smell what I transported earlier.
I did my best to keep the bike between him and I. I knew I did not have anything else on me, so he could not arrest me for a smell, but I didnt want to give him a reason. I showed him all the respect he deserved, as he showed me the same. I gave him the license, he went back to his car and called me and my bike in. Once he got the report back that the bike was clean and I did not have any wants or warrants on my, he came back, handed me my license and tells me that he doesnt want a deer flying out in front of me while I am doing 90 nor did he want to get a call to come scrape me up off the pavement. He told me to slow it down and let me go without so much as a written warning.
I have had a lot of run ins with the police over my few years on this earth. Some where I have been a complete asshole to the cops, and some where I have been nice as hell, some where I got screwed over no matter what attitude I displayed. But out of all of them, I get into the least trouble when I am cool and up front with them.
I got pulled over years ago for doing 85 in a 55, and I talked to the cop as if he were my best friend. 10 minutes after he had me pulled over there were 10 other cop cars there. I knew I was going to jail. I had a suspended license, was on parole, and was driving an unregistered car that did not belong to me. I was on my way home from work at 3am at the time. All said and done, he wrote me a ticket for 80 in a 65, and let me drive home.
Attitude has a lot to do with how they treat you (not in all cases, some cops are pigs, but not all of them).

You gotta build a security system dude. One quit doing stupid shit and two listen to the ones on this site, they know.

Now as for the smell or odor get some damn bioextreme and spray you and your car and clothes down after smoking, hell spray down the container and whatever this shit will get rid of any odor, and I have beat the dog with it.

Just google it bioextreme I cant remember if its .com or .net or what, it is used for hunting but I use it for other stuff. Cheap and damn well worth it...:thumbsup:

yo hydrow33d, i got two words for you, RADAR DETECTOR!!!

ever since i got a radar detector i, nor my brother who i passed it onto when i moved to ny, have ever gotten a speeding ticket or had any other problems from being pulled over.

since this thread is two years old, now, I suspect he already paid the ticket ;)
