Me and 2 friends just bought 2 dimes, we were on our way back to my friends apartment when we stopped at a dot shop to get some blunts. I pulled up in the fire lane (dont ever do that) threw my hazard lights on and went inside.
In less than a minute I was out of the store, and there was a guy standing on the sidewalk looking at my car (I drive a Crown Vic police interceptor, I get alot of looks) I opened my door and began to get in when the man walked up to me and this was our conversation
Him: "why is your car parked here"
me: "why is it any of your business"
him: "theres a spot right over there you couldve parked in"
me: "what the fuck do you want man"
him: -pulls badge out of his shirt- "I want you to step out of the vehicle and put your hands on the hood"

At this point Im shitting bricks, I had no fucking idea this guy was a pig.
he said he was placing me under arrest because he ran the license plate, and the owner of the vehicle apparently had warrants
I am the legitimate owner of the vehicle, my name is only name on the title, and it is registered to me, and NO I did not have ANY warrants, or ANY unpaid tickets. This goes to show cops can say whatever the fuck they want.

At this point a few other officers were arriving, and within minutes all of my friends were in handcuffs. The cop asked my 17 year old friend if he had any ID, he said no, and then the cop asked if he had any ID in the car, and my friend said no again, and told the officer he didnt even own any sort of ID.
But the cop said he was going to search for ID in the car
More fucking bullshit, just an excuse to search my car.


-edit-(I took a break when I was writing this part to smoke a blunt with some mates, so Im sorry if i fuck up some spelling or something)

The cop searched the glovebox and found my weed "accidentally" so all three of us got hit with possession under 50g. :[

I got a good lawyer and got the charges dropped, my one one friend got the charges dropped too, but my other friend who was sitting passenger (infront of the glovebox) got hit with the charges :\ sucks

fuck i really forget what i was gonna say when i made this thread
but just like, be careful cause cops can really do whatever the fuck they want, because in court its you, against the government you know, you cant win.

Which is why I record any encounter with law enforcement on my phone...then when they lie about it in court they get caught in that lie, then there's no ignoring it.

You aren't aware of your rights, sure you broke the law, but it was nothing you could've been arrested for..perhaps your car towed but not arrested..

In the sticky there's a video that shows what you can legally do when in a sticky situation...best way to avoid it though..don't break the law when you're on wheels..
