what should i do when i'm walkin around with bud on me and i get stopped by a cop?

[coneking1911]

so i generally smoke on the weekend, and a lot of the time ill be walkin around with friends. i usually bring a backpack with like a sweater, then my papers, grinder, and my bud that i keep in a thermos. i usually have like a Q on me. and sometimes ill be walkin home at 1 or 2 am and i worry that a cop will think i look suspicious (i guess at tht time of night i do). so if i did get stopped and the officer searched my bag, would i get in more trouble because i have paraphenalia (grinder, papers, occasionally a bowl) too?

also, a lot of times i have my 17 yr old friend carry it. lets say we were stopped and the cop found the bud on him. would he just get a ticket, or will the officer also contact his parents? cuz i know a Q isnt an arrestable amount. does he have to give his parents number to the officer? just basically try to explain me/my friends options in this situation lol

Remember decrim does not equal legal. I also agree with Weezard don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Friendly advice time, be polite to the officer they are doing a job (b***s**t). Being polite has allowed me to walk a number of times. Also I recommend only carry what your willing to lose.

damn yeah im not trying to go to prison. and yeah i knew paraphenalia was a bigger crime thats why i try to avoid bringing a bowl. does a pack of papers count as paraphenalia? but anyway i dont usuall look suspiscious i dress fine (no sagging pants or hood or anythin sketchy) but late at night anything can look bad. thanks for all the good advice though

[coneking1911]

well we usually take turns carrying it cuz he throws down for it anyway. and yeah its decriminalized if its under like 4 oz but u still get a ticket. im jw if he gets caught, since it's decriminalized can they/will they call his parents, or just give a ticket and confiscate it?

It's still kinda like "prohibition" & if ya understand this (even in legal states) there's gonna be a frown with locals, staties & just be careful that u don't forget your friends stash in your bag when boarding a flight. Then really fubar beyond all recognition! TSA Crapola

[coneking1911]

alright so i probably should just carry it myself. now, can they search me or my bag without consent? i know if they walk up as im smokin obiously they can but if they just see me walking and i look suspiscious then can they just search me?

"Stop & Frisk" happens everywhere, depends on how radical state/local policy or how a local officer feels that day (say he/she didn't get a proper rim job earlier) pissed off → jail! Don't carry anything 'round when you are on the move. Step lightly. Unless of course you are the "Abby Hoffman" of mmj & wanna sacrifice yourself in the name of.

hmmm thats a little tougher, it depends on if they have "probable cause" or "justifiable search and seizure" in ct or not. most states have "probable cause" it tends to be more restrictive of the two as far as just stopping and searching you. "justifiable search and seizure" makes it pretty ease to stop anyone for just about anything. when in doubt assume the worst case is the most likely case.
