Two friends and I hooked up to go for a smoke at a view point, popular with make out types who have nowhere to go. He was driving and mate in passenger seat, me in the rear, behind passenger.
For some reason, we all sat there and smoked a cigarette each while we talked. I then got out the tin with all the gear in, and started preparing a joint.
As usual we had someone look out for cops. Lo and behold, a car pulls into the large car park that the view point is. Now, we're parked up near the front, and they usually drive along the back and just cruise by and drive off.

This time, they drive right up alongside us, and seeing 3 blokes, stop the car, and get out.

We just said we came up for a chat in a nice location. They got us all out of the car and searched us.

While they were driving up I had put the wrap of grass I had down my DocMarten boots, right below my ankle bone. I had also put the tin with all the papers and stuff under the passenger seat, slowly sliding it further.

They searched all 3 of us, and started searching the car. I was stood behind the car, and saw this policeman with a torch shine it from the open boot, into the car itself (hatchback car). he shone it deep into the footwell of the driver's side, but only cursorly over the passenger side.... if he had lingered a moment longer, he would have seen the tin. They didn't find the gear in my socks as the lady officer didn't do the search thoroughly enough.

That was a lucky escape!
