The most incredibly stupid move by my buddy, ever... (cop + bud + stupid = tickets)

Why in the world would you get in your vehicle and get out on the public roads if you know you are going to be pulled over? I'd a waited and waited and maybe even rented a parking spot.

Right up until he slaps the cuffs on you for possession, I'm sure.

Even then he'd probably be nice about it as long as you weren't being a cocksmack. He had to do his job and all, but he believed in winning hearts and minds.

Edit : If you were being a cocksmack, well..my grandpa was and still is a pretty big guy, so he had the potential to make your day pretty awful.

Well this pig didn't read that part. His thing was I got the k9, I know you got it so just hand it over otherwise we rip apart the van, find it and then you get it impounded. I believe it was the fear of impounding the van more than anything why he consented. He let the Mr go after handing our jar and grinder and anything else in that bag with resin on it.

Yes, he should not have consented but I really would like to have some plan for the next time this happens. And it will, I have been reading about it happening for most medical state plates in the prohibition states. I am torn honestly as I always believe in standing up for your rights and maybe had I had the money for an attorney it would have been different.
But in this situation where he was bound and determined to search and violate my rights and throw me in a hillbilly jail and if I would prefer to just continue my trip then I think the most prudent thing to have done when he asked who was the medical mj patient would have been to show him my recommendation and turned over a small baggie of it and continue down the road feeling bad.

I still wouldn't consent to the search if he said my decoy was a decoy. idk any other ideas?

Don't drive with pot in the car......do your smoking before you leave on the trip. When I go somewhere overnight, I ship it to the hotel as a business package. It'll be waiting when I get there. Problem solved.....

So how do you smoke between point A and B? Or better asked lol how do you not smoke?

I agree, that is honestly what I should of done. I don't know how long before it would of gotten towed from the station however. You can't just park at a gas station. But we should of at least took a walk or something so I could get a plan down.

Strange, out of the situation we all have the answers, but when we are in the moment it's hard to think of a way out. We've all been there.

The officer really was a dick.

Well back in the 1960's and 1970's the answer would have been to stop attracting the initial attention, i.e. blend in. The corollary is if you are going to wear something that really makes you stand out or do something that is going to make you stand out or going to a venue where a lot of drugs are expected to be present then don't carry, hook up at the place. So you trade a little money for someone else assuming the risk. That doesn't work anymore?

Yeah, he reminded me of Al Bundy from Married With Children- he was the star of his hick HS Football team and they passed him through into State Highway Patrol glory. He came to booking and questioned me and seemed to believe himself that I obstructed justice. The Jailor was the real piece of shit. He came from a long line of Jailors I was informed by one of the girls doing 30 for meth and she also said that on the outside he'd be smoking it with her normally and he was the typical pig; he was stuffed in lockers by the jocks growing up and get his rocks off feeling powerful over girls who are locked up- I swear most of them struggle with the weight of their tasers and this dude was feeling His power in a Sherriff's Jail that had 2 cells and a common area and a bath area. He has this thing called Suicide Watch where he takes your clothes and sheets and mattress and puts the girl into one of the cells alone all night as punishment for not submitting. There are a lot of female suicides there I was told. Yeah, all in that cold, dark cell you MoFo's

My bust was years ago, but no less stupid on my part. I was almost home after driving over the road for 9 weeks. I had been dry for a over month but 2 days before I got home I scored a lid of homegrown ditch weed from my brother inlaw on the east coast. I had it stashed well in the truck and transferred it to my shaving kit for the drive home from our terminal, but I didn't zip it up. While driving thru the county seat 10 miles from home I was pulled over for an expired inspection sticker on my pickup at 3am. DWI Patrol sitting at an exit. My inspection had just expired while I was gone. As I'm digging thru the console for my insurance card I hear "What's that leafy green substance?" and see his flashlight focused on my shaving kit sitting in the passenger floorboard where the weed had miraculously floated to the top.

Had I taken the back way home he'd never seen me. Had I zipped my shaving kit he'd never seen the weed.

The rest is history/public criminal record.

Lots of retardation in this thread.

We were in a Nissan Quest not a VW Bus, it was the plates. Or I am wondering if the motel in Utah that kicked us out that morning because they could smell it may have called the authorities. I feel ya though.

It is not easy to find weed in prohibition states. In Ely, it is hella hard! The Mr ended up at our favorite therapist establishment, a bar and when the bartender heard his story she called her man and sent him over to stay in their extra bed! I guess the dude opened the door to him with You're from Cali? Awesome I haven't smoked in so long it's fucking dry here.

The lobby has a display case full of confiscated paraphernalia, a lot of creative shit really. The Jailors were so ignorant that they kept asking me if I needed to detox from it I needed to tell them. detox from weed?

Really? Smelly and sticky? I will be right over

I don't really think of having decoy weed as giving up my rights in this situation. I have to be honest however that I stopped believing we have rights to defend. I mean, my rights get trampled all over during every encounter I have with the law and it seems comical to them when I assert them because they know better than any of us how our rights are no more than illusions!
