What's the closest you've come to being busted (if you haven't ever been busted)?

My closest brush with the law was a few years ago. Me and two friends of mine had just got hooked up, and since I was still living with my rents at this time, we were trying to think of somewhere safe that we could go and smoke in peace without any trouble. Well, I don't remember who brought it up but one of us suggested we go sit in the church parking lot. It was evening, not late at night or anything, so we figured it wouldn't be that suspicious to just be chilling in a church parking lot. So off we go.

Well, everything's going cool, we blaze a bowl and then we all light up cigarettes and are just chilling and talking for a while. Then I noticed that there's a cop car over at one end of the parking lot, just sitting there. So I'm like... "Ummm, guys." And I pointed him out. We were about to up and get the hell out of there when we noticed another cop car at the other exit of the parking lot... and another squad car parallel to us... and ANOTHER one just behind us. We were completely fucking surrounded by four squads.

Just about the time that we notice this, the squad behind us shines a spotlight on the car. Naturally, we're all shitting a brick at this point. I had a quarter ounce in my pocket, and both of my friends had an eighth each. Well, this cop comes strolling up the the car. My friend rolls down her window and starts talking to him. We're all red-eyed as fuck and stoned out of our minds, and I don't know about you guys but when I get into a situation when I don't want to be high I feel about 10 times higher.

Anyway, the cop says he smells something funny and asks if we've been drinking and we (honestly) say no. He shines the light around in our faces and asks what's up. At this point I started turning on the waterworks and just started crying, and told him that I was having 'problems at home' and that we just wanted somewhere safe to go to talk. Then the cop goes on to tell us that they'd been pulling drugs off of people back here in the church parking lot lately. We're all completely shocked by this and it shows, and I think that helped the situation, 'cause the guy proceeded to let us go. I asked if we had to leave right this second or if we could hang out for a little while longer, just to convince him that we weren't waiting for a dealer (or a buyer) to show up. He said sure, we could stay. We waited about 10 minutes and then got the fuck out of there.

So that is the closest I've ever come to being busted. I really think the only reason we got away is because we're all female, and I pulled that story out of my ass. It was a fucking buzzkill that's for sure though.

What's the closest brush you've had with the man (if you haven't been outright busted)? Anyone got a similar story?
