Reactions to being Pulled Over

[Reefer Rogue]

I wouldn't look away, why would someone look away if they were doing nothing wrong? I saw some cop show yesterday where a cop was in his van, saw someone on the street, the person looked away, the officer immediately became suspicious of that and got out. The suspect ran, he was caught and arrested. Be confident and direct, avoid hand to head contact, they look for that. Avoid lighting a cig because they know you're masking the smell or trying to calm your nerves. Why are you nervous? Be cool.

Just act like the cops best friend jeeez. Ask him how his nights going, act like he was your neighbor.
When you show a cop that you don't fear them, Act like your glad he's doing his job. And remember that, this guys worst fear is a traffic stop that turns deadly. If you think about it in terms of, He's just as scared walkin up to you, You'll realize cops calm down a good bit when they see you as cooperating.

The other day my buddy and I drove to a nice lake in the back of a nice neighborhood to smoke a blunt. It was probably around midnight. A bunch of my friends go there a lot to smoke, so I really wasn't paranoid or anything :rastasmoke:.
However, while me buddy was rolling the blunt in my passenger seat, I saw headlights come up behind me. I just assumed it was some other stoners rollin up so I didn't think much of it. That's when the cops little search light turned on and I knew immediately it was a cop. I told me buddy it was a cop, and he didn't believe me...until the cop flicked on his siren lights. My buddy had the blunt half way rolled and he shoved the whole thing in his pocket. He spilled weed all over my car. I'm not going to lie.. I was scared shitless. I thought for sure I was going to end up in that cop car. My buddy asked if he should eat the weed. I told him to chill the fuck out haha. The cop pulled up on us so fast. Next thing I knew he was at my window. He asked what we were doing out there by ourselves at midnight and I told him I was having family problems and I went out here to talk to my buddy about it. He probably thought we were gay. Two guys sitting in a car in front of a lake at midnight talking.. ha. He asked for both our ID's and left. Right after he pulled away I noticed my friend had used a big as knife to cut the blunt ( don't know why.. ugh idiot) and he the knife right next to me. Good thing the cop didn't shine his flashlight in my car. I would have been fucked.

One time me and a pal had about 3 pounds in the car...I ran a stop sign, while turning right...really, really stupid...and there, right there coming at me is a cop...I shit...the cop picked up his microphone and over the speaker said, why don't you try stopping next time? and just kept moving...I shook for about an hour...back then in 1970, this would have been a felony and serious prison time had we been caught...color me Mr. Lucky

On the two occasions I have been pulled over I have gotten lucky twice. Both times I had a car load of friends and each one of us had either MJ or a peice on us. The first time the cops pulls me over and asks, "Did I see you cut through that parking lot? " I said no, then he said, well I pulled you over because you dont have a front licence plate(VA law) which I was certain I had unless someone had stolen it. So I was like, What?! you kidding right? so he goes to the front and looks and says Oh you do have one, now I have to let you go because I dont have probable cause. The second time me and my friends were actually smoking in the car and got pulled over, this time he didnt even tell me what he pulled me over for, he asked for my ID and reg, when back to his car, and like 2 minutes later he comes running back up literaly throws my stuff into my lap and takes off sirens blaring, guess he had better stuff to attend to.

In the car man, I got pulled over just about every month once or twice. It sucked, but at the same time it was tight.

This one time I ran a stop sign and the cop gave me the ticket, as he turned his back to go back to his car, I asked him if he would stay for a second so that we could COMPARE cop cars. He stayed for about 15 minutes and we joked around and popped our hoods and what not.
I never got a ticket in the mail for that stop sign incident and I was really honest and cooperative.

That cop was cool, and I even tried to outrun him too.

it happens all the time, but i hate when ppl get nervous around cops. my mindset is: 'do i feel like running thru bushes and jumping over stuff today?'
if no, then i just act like im a very law abiding citizen that is shocked to be stopped. i cooperate in every way, and i even try to hold a conversation with the guy. if u give him no reason to search u or to suspect anything, then hes gonna think ur clean.

if yes, then i book it. soon as i see the mother fucker i dip anywhere a car cant follow, lol. i live in a highly wooded neighborhood, so theres alot of random forests n shit. obviously thats my first hiding spot. if i cant get there without being seen, ill just post up in someones back yard hiding in a bush for 10 mins or so.
during this time of year i always hav a hoodie, so watever clothes the cop saw me in, i change. like ill take the hoodie off, or put my t-shirt on over top of it, or something like that. when you run they radio other cops saying 'be on the lookout for a teenager in jeans and a black hoodie'. so if u change that a little bit, ur much less likely to get stopped.
i guess when u run as much as i do, these things come naturally.. just from experience. ive gotten away so many damn times, i dont even give it a second thought. karma will catch up to me one day... haha

HAHAHA Some of the replies on here are classic.

I'm the same more or less, seriously them cops need to get a life. It's such bullshit, they will pull anyone for weed and harrass them yet the real criminals are getting away. But I guess we've heard this too many times before and we shouldn't REALLY, ideally be on the road in the first place if we're high. I can drive and control my driving normally, but if there was to be an accident, anything could happen and the other party....they have a full life of their own and I could destroy that? So it's best just NOT to drive but then again, I have to drive and whenever Im out, I smoke...so? I don't know, I just take it easy.

WIth the cops, I think if you give them eye contact, look at them, or act paranoid in any way, they WILL pull you up, because they'll think why was he looking at me? Just be normal and avoid eye contact, if/when high, and you see a cop car, just be totally normal. If you don't do anything silly and just drive normally, I don't think they'll come for you, but then again there aren't no guarantees. You can't trust cops so...?

This whole weed/cop thing has to be the biggest injustice in the history of mankind. FFS I'm not murder or rape anyone. I just like to get high. Leave me alone officer :rasta:

Amen to that. Last thursday my boy and I were just chilling at Sonic ordering our food and blazing a blunt like we always do and someone in their car called us in. The cops came down there and told us there was report called in about two teenagers rolling and smoking marijuana. We for one never rolled the blunt at Sonic, we rolled the blunt at my house then sparked it up as we walked out the door. We didn't tell the cops that but we told them we were clean and didn't smoke in the vehicle. We did tell them that we smoked previously that day, but it had been hours since then. To make a long story short the damn dirty cops robbed us. Took about $60 out of the middle console, ate all of my french fries and cheader peppers from Sonic, took my friends digi's, and took a zanex that my friend had laying under his carseat that we didn't know about. Luckily we searched the car for weed earlier because we were waiting on some Dro to come through and needed some bud to pass the time. This was about 10 minutes before the cops showed up when we finished smoking the blunt. Lucky us. But the cops were being dicks the whole time and put us both in the back of the police car for about an hour and a half before letting us go. But at least we got off with not charges but the dudes were still dirty as hell.
