hey Im new to these forums and I was reading some "busted" stories last night while smoking a j and my mom walks in. it was all cool though, she knows I smoke. but heres a story involving cops: so my friend picks me up at my house so we can go pick up some bud and on the way we smoke a joint. but yea we get to our guy and as my friend is getting it I see a silver cruiser pull up maybe 50 feet behind us. I figured they were undercovers so as soon as my friend i got in the car I was like "dude we should drive away, i think there some cops back there". So we drive away and don't see anything for 5 minutes so we're pretty psyched to get to our other friends house to chill. we're driving through our town and all of the sudden after a light we see a cruiser behind us light up and pulling us over. so we pull over and the next thing i know theres an undecover on each side with their hands on their guns telling us to get the fuck out of the car. Im pretty much frozen so the guy on my side opens the door and tries pullin me out of the car but the seat belt is still on. so he unbuckles me and pulls me out and slams me against the car and starts searching me and keeps asking me "do you have anything on you?" and I always answered with "no" because i didnt know if he meant on my body or in the car (lol). Guy gets pretty pissed and says "dont you fucking lie to me" so im like "im not". so they make me sit on the curb while theyre talking to my friend (they were nice to him btw and didnt pull him out like they did to me). I turn and look behind our car and see 4 unmarked cop cars and one normal cruiser (the one who pulled us over) and im just thinking to myself "wtf is going on?". so they just start searching the car and find a couple of grams and tell us all this shit bla bla bla you know the drill. oh, also they told us we ran a red light thats why they pulled us over, which is bullshit cause there were like 10 other cars crossing the intersection and why would they have 4 undercover cars for a normal traffic violation. Eventually, they arrest my friend because it was his car and they both take us to the station (we are both over 18). lol it took them forever to start my friends car because it's manual and they didn't know how to drive manual. so I have to sit at the station while theyre asking my friend all these questions and after like 3 hours we can finally go. they asked my friend who the dealer was and my friend gave him the car information of some kid that tried to rip us off one time. We come to the car in the police parking lot and everything is just all over the place, they were such bitches searching the car. we also found out later that they replaced a vodka bottle that was rolled up in a sleeping bag with a bottle of water (WTF!?). Anyway my friend had to pay like a $100 fine and that was it, so we got off pretty lucky. We figured they must've thought we were dealers, but all they got was a couple of teenagers with a couple of grams. this was new york state btw.
that is what is known as an illegal search and seizure, your friend should take that to court, he'll get the chrges dropped and then sue the cops that did the search and intergation in civil court and get some money out of it.
hehe. I drive a stick, and that's pretty damn funny. (the part about them not being able to start it...) Probably messed it up a bit, but I wouldn't care. Me = mechanic. Now, the booze and bud must've fucking sucked though. I agree wholeheartedly with comfortably_numb9
It wasn't illegal if they had probable cause, and there probable cause was probably witnessing a drug deal. You should be glad you got off, and not try to "get some money out of it" , that is retarded.
we also found out later that they replaced a vodka bottle that was rolled up in a sleeping bag with a bottle of water (WTF!?). rofl.
It actually doesnt matter if you're 18 or not. Theres no smoking age on weed, its illigal altogether.
Yeah when it comes down to it NY is kinda lax if its only a small amt of bud. It's treated like a traffic ticket if its under an oz. Sucks that you got yanked out of the car though.
