I've been pulled over so many times (never when I was driving)....and have had various substances on my person or someone else at different times. Anyway, I've never been arrested (even after they find the substances, which was probably most of the time). Cops are people, just talk to them normally, and not nervously...and they will let you go. It's happened to me too many times to count, so don't say it doesn't work. They really don't want to book you for petty offenses..trust me, but if you're being an idiot, they will want to get the best of you. Then a few other times not involving driving.

The person who said be a pussy is wrong, and the person who said about your rights is wrong too (not wrong...just asking for trouble, its rather unnecessary). Just be chill...that's it.

One time we got pulled over by some drug task force (I live in a big city) and had a powdery substance with us and alcohol (they followed us from the neighborhood we got it). My friend was cuffed in the car, and my other friend was close...but with a little calm talking from me, they let us all go. They even asked me, how are you being so calm and collective...one of my friends was being an ass and almost got taken, where as even if they did, I woulda been able to get off and drive the car home they said.

You don't have to like cops, but there's no reason to HATE them. Obviously what they are doing is not personal, its just what they do for a living...remember that. Some are assholes, and take their authority out of control of course, but give me a little power...I have no idea how I would take it...maybe the same as them who knows.
