This is gonna sound harsh, but where in New York did you live, because I never heard of a town called "fu*king impossible". you must have found the ONLY reasonable police officer in New york, or been WAY upstate.. cause I lived in New York for years and the police arrested my family for nothing more than a paper and a stem- harrassed the shit out of us just for herb, just a harmless smoke.. Believe me here. They got put all the way through the system.
