Signs of Undercover Cop

[Cheery Cherry]

I'd like to know what are some obvious and not so obvious signs of someone being an undercover cop.

I have been pretty dry lately and lost my connections long time ago. I recently had a guy offer to sell me some at a bar but I was paranoid so I declined. I really wanted it and I really thought of purchasing. I think I was even drooling a bit when he showed me the bag. So if anyone know...how do you know when someone's a cop?

if they act like a sober person, they prolly are

if someone is talking with a slight laugh, real relaxed, bloodshot eyes, def someone you can buy off of

I always assume that cops are out to bust sellers. I do not know if it is worth the paperwork and cost to try to bust someone buying. It would be interest to know difference in charges.. I know every state is different. The guy was Probably just short on cash and trying to make a buck . Going to Charge you enough to get his next bag. I think the biggest risk would be get losing a couple of bucks. I would just get the smallest amount possiable and build up some trust. Every transaction I have been in has started with lighting up.. Now I have had people ask me if I am a cop which I think is a urban legend that they have to tell you. They can lie thier ass off.

Sounds like I have more questions than answer......

I don't think it's possible to identify cops without error. They look all sorts of ways, especially undercover ones. None of the drug enforcement/undercover cops I've ever known would bother with a small-time buyer, though, unless they just stumbled across you . . .

Well I think if they ask you and they are a cop it would be entrapment. If they approach you and ask you if you want to buy, you should be fine, assuming the cops are playing by the rules.


But than again when I was in NYC a few years ago, me and my buddy were walking back from a comedy club at 2 am we turned a corner and saw this guy standing there. When we walked by him he stopped us and asked us if we needed anything. I told him no, but thanks, and than he asked "You sure you don't want some weed or anything." I told him no again and than he asked if we had anything to sell to him. After saying no again we started to walk away and he began to follow, so we walked faster. When we got to the corner we made the turn and there were like 10 NYPD just chilling on the corner. I'm not sure if the dude talking to us was a cop, or someone trying to jack us. I'm guessing the later though, and I was never so happy to see those blue uniforms. What ever he was, he stopped following us once we passed the cops.

just ask him i'f he's a cop. my homie got arrested selling drugs to an undercover cop who he thought was his homeboy for about 2-3 years. the guy smoked weed, sniffed coke, smoked crack, everything. like i said 2-3 years undercover and he got busted not too long ago. anyways that was a buyer tho. HMM it's really up to you to determin i'f you think he's a cop, it's a simple guess and you better hope it's the right one. i've dealt with ALOT of cops and still i cant ever really tell 100% i'f someone is undercover or not. i usually go with my gut when it comes to strangers..OH and undercover cops usually try and catch BIG time dealers or buyers..if the guy asked something like "WANNA BUY A POUND OF SOME HERB or WHERE CAN I BUY A POUND/KILO or w/e it's usually a DEF sign that he might be a cop.. LIKE THE RULES SAY NEVER TRUST STRANGERS my guess was you should have bought it..but dont get friendly with him either..

to try and answer your questions, ask him i'f he's a cop(dont always trust this though, they dont have to tell you they are if they are but its worth a try). hmm check the way he dresses, usually undercover cops try and dress like dealers and they overdue it. listen to the way he talks.. listen to key words..get update on the recent drug slang.. for example( hey miss want to be some marijuana DEF sign of a cop; (buyer) yeah i need some crack/rocks DEF sign of a cop... the way they ask you can sometimes give it away..if u are streetwise that is... thats my 2 cents though

right u r birdgirl.
undercover in a bar trying to sell weed? geez..., whats a person who wants to get a buzz to do?
the bartender trying to sell you poison, the cop trying to take your freedom.
fuck. it just aint fair.
i would suggest that any person who is thinking about buy weed from a person in a bar, and they arent sure if the person in the bar is a cop, buy the person a drink, a shot, and watch them drink some of it. Cops cant drink on duty, and you have a great witness if he/she does and then tries to deny it. The Bartender.
I'm glad that i dont have these kinds of concerns. here in San Francisco the buds ard a plenty and cops dont hassle pot smokers.
In San Francisco you get in more trouble j-walking, than you do j-smoking.
I grow my own, and i wouldnt have it any other way.

peace,
dai*ma:stoned:
well my old man says the woodstock generation
found a way to make this nation open up its eyes
and take a look around. He says, "my generation
aint good for nothin'"
well i could think of somethin'
so i decided to jot it down
so here's to..
hair gel
hanging out at the health spa
using condom sense
and watching LA law
here's to drum machines
stone wash jeans
credit cards and fax machines
big bald headed chicks with frat guys
wearing 40$ tyedye t-shirts
and big bold paisly ties
heres to livin' off dad
as long as you can
and blending in with the crowd
Oh my generation should be proud

We were raised up in the hallowed halls
half a million shopping malls
and there aint any price that we're too proud to pay
we'll buy anything from diet sprite
to one thousand points of light
i admit we aint that bright
but i'm proud anyway:dance: :dance:

They smell like cop...

Trust your instinct's and you must be the one to seek and initiate a meeting,not be approached!!!

Undercover agents can be really tough to pick out.
A couple 'connections of connections' got busted by an undercover who was really deep into the lifestyle. He was pierced and tattooed and smoked herb with the guys and was even sleeping with one of the dealers' girlfriends. It got pretty ugly- fistfights and whatnot- and no one suspected for a moment that he was a narc until he showed up at their araignments.
Grow your own.
