Who cares about our rooms and inside/outside? You get in real trouble when you're a) doing something really shady or suspicious in public or b) getting pulled over.

If you're doing something illegal that draws attention to yourself when you have smoke on you, you deserve to get caught.

Here's some tips/strategies I have thought of over the last couple of years to reduce the chance of being searched/interrogated when in a car:

Common tips:

1) Keep your license, registration and proof of insurance in your center console. Try to remember not to put anything illegal in it, but even if you do, the center console is much less visible to the cop than the glove box.

2) Always keeps Febreze and three Dangly smell-good thing in your car. If you accidentally overload on febreze and the cop asks why does it smell strongly of freshener, just shrug and refer to the dangly smell-good things.

3) ALWAYS address them as sir or mam and be very humble and apologetic(apologize only once or it may look suspicious). You never know the small things that just may push the cop over the threshold of not bothering you or inquiring further about whats in your car.

4) Never consent to a search. If asked why, just say it's your parents car and they have always told you to never consent to one. This seems to be a pretty good reply and has worked a couple of times for me. It sure beats "uh.. I dunno.. just because"

5) Find a good stash spot in your car. If you looked hard enough, you could find 10 stash spots that even the most seasoned of cops wouldn't think about.

Strategies:

1) Find four or five stickers that in some way support or promote any type of law enforcement. Place them on the left side of your back window.

2) I just thought of this last week and haven't even used it myself. Can't imagine it not working, though. A few years ago I remember one of my friends brought a fake fart spray to school. He just sprayed it up and down the hall and it smelled like complete ass. Find and keep one of these bottles in your center console. Spray it, not too much, directly on the driver's window. Even roll down your window a little and spray it outside. The cop WILL smell it.

Clutch your stomach a little bit and purposefully start acting a BIT strange and embarassed. If assuming the cop does ask you why you're acting strange, say "Well.. it's a bit embarassing." That conversation may end right there, but if it goes on, just go into a little detail about how your stomach has been acting up all night/you have irritable bowel syndrome/chronic shits/etc. The cop, I'm assuming, will let you go faster and be less inclined to want to go anywhere near your vehicle.
