I got popped once coming off a wetland project i was monitoring for the state. It was on a cul de sac near a new Home Depot and evidently (without my knowledge) the neighbors were tired of people making the wrong turn coming out of the store and turning around in all of their driveways...
So I'm out there doing my thing, making measurements and collecting pics and data...when i'm done I fire one up on the way out of the cul de sac, when out POPS this cop from literally the bushes!!
Motorcycle cops!! Arggh. I have my windows up and as I pull to a stop right in front of him I exhaled a big billow of weed smoke. He walks up to the window and knocks....
I'm about to shite one out as I hit the button for the window. He doesbn't say a word about the weed and asks me what I was doing down there. ( I had turned incorrectly out of the store to get there, hence his attention). I told him who I was and what I was doing, he takes my papers and walks back to his cycle. I quickly fire up a cuban cigar and wait. He comes back and just says..."Put that out". I do so. He let me go after he explained why he stopped me ala neighbor complaints. And that was it..he let me go and never mentioned the weed...which was GROSSLY apparent in the cab!
Just goes to show, you never know.....altho I am charming in person
out.
