so i just picked up an 8th...

.. and a posession ticket on the way home.

it was totally shitty set up- i turned right onto a 2 lane county road, went up over a fairly small bridge, and whammy right on the other side is a sobriety checkpoint.. and i had just got done smoking fat with my friend (who i had just picked up the 8th from). obviously, the pig stuck his head right in the car and sniffed me out, said i smelled like reefer, get out the car etc etc.

however just before this, i had ripped the change holder in the center console out of my car, grabbed my pipe which was in the center console and chucked it back behind there (basically up into the wiring of the dash), then jammed the change holder back in... now i couldnt throw the weed there too, because i had it in a hoody pocket, and i had taken the hoody off and had it in the backseat.. at this point i was already at the checkpoint and didnt want to be making any shady movements tryin to snatch the weed from the backseat and stash it somewhere..

so anyways, they ask to search my car. i know very well they are gonna find the 8th, and personally dont give two shits (i live in NY, getting caught with under an oz is fucking laughable), but i tell them no, you absolutely do not have my permission to search my car (its pretty chilly out tonight- wanted to make the cops freeze for this bust). the sargent or whatever the fuck he is (superior of some sort) comes over, asks to search the car, i tell him the same damn thing. absolutely not. well eventually, shit boils down to where they apparently have prob cause to search cause i smell like pot ( i had been burning with my friend at his house prior to this)....

so they find the 8th... but not after harassing me (wheres the needles, u doin any cocaine tonight? havin a drug dog walk in a circle around me, and other cop scare tactic bs etc etc).. and i tell them exactly what im facing (i know exactly what my rights are when gettin busted with small time posession) the sargent says we're not done here yet... i tell him you already searched car, found 1/8th oz, and under the provisions of section 221.05 of NY penal code i can recieve NO MORE than a max. of 100$ fine.. so he quickly shuts up, and takes me over to another cop car where a different cop proceeds to write me the ticket .. this cop has a lot lighter tone, and wasnt tryin to scare me (he just watched a whole bunch of other cops try unsucessfully). i told him damn, i got no bud for tonight, have to get it delivered this time eh?

anyway, this like JUST happend so i felt like sharing. totally made them look like jackasses, and when i proceeded to get in my car to leave, the sargent tells me "have fun doin nothing in life but being a burnout"...i laugh in his face.

got court nov 16th. gonna wear a marijuana t-shirt when i go the judges will give you the max fine for posession (easy $ for the state) regardless of if you kiss their ass, or speak your mind, so might as well give it to them.

so after this i call up my friend, explain the sitch, and ask for another 8th on the front. he hooked me up too for my shitty situation. so the only thing that was accomplished tonight was im out 50$ cause of an 8th of dank confiscated, and 50$ in debt with a friend (no biggie). and ny state will get my measly 100$.

time to blaze it up :sifone: sorry for the lengthy post... its just on my mind and im super baked haha.

btw the cops did bust out a drug dog after rippin my car apart in the search(throwin contents of glovebox, and console all over the car), and he didnt sniff out the pipe! so i still got my glass pipe.. which is great because the only other pipe i had broke a month or so ago. so not a total loss

 

Hahaha damn man. You know your shit. +1 for the stoners!! Piggies aint got shit on us.

 

good stuff. i like your tone....
kinda like "i know exactly whats gonna happen, so lets skip all the bullshit"
you handle yourself well

 

right on guys!

know your rights.. and dont buy into police scare tactic bullshit!

i cant wait for court, i hear the judge loves throwin the max. fine at marijuana offenders... so im totally going to smoke a few bongs before going in there, wearin one of my cannabis-activism t-shirts.. just to let it be clear- you can ticket me allll day long....

and ill still smoke pot :sifone:

im packin up a bong as we speak, much love guys!

 

Hahaha keep it green my friend. FUCK prude ass people man.

 

Haha I love when they try to scare you... they were doing that to my friend
and he didnt have anything on him, and he was still shaking..

but fortunately most the time they say "you got any drugs or weapons in the car" I just say
"No sir" and they usually let me go.

 

that's messed up man, next time put the bag in your shoe when your done smokin, thats where I've always hid my shit, but I guess I'm more worried about it since here they would take you to jail for havin seeds an stems

 

Nicely done. :cheers2:

 

ouch. where are you from?

and i got like totally shook down, so they woulda found it in my shoe regardless. they made me take off my belt, shoes, socks, etc. they also had a police k-9 out (this was a sobriety checkpoint) walk around me. they told me it would bite me in the nuts if i had anything down there...

funny shit. i asked them whats the point in trying to scare me, i already know exactly what im being charged with, and how minor of an offense it is (equivalent to a barking dog ticket-- its nothing)... none of them seemed to have an answer, and instead kept busting out the "your a pothead" stigma... like, where are you goin in life? is this what you wanna be? HAHA

 

they're getting their power taken away from them, so since they can't take you to jail they'll do whatever else they can to belittle you. fucking pusssieessss

 

Popo dont scare me. It pisses them off, but I just really dont get intimidated by them.

 

good

more people should be like this.

cops rule with fear, fight back with laughter :sifone:

 

exactly, if you know your rights then there should be no reason to fear cops. a lot of people get scared by them and give up everything, those people are fucking retards

 

ahahaha actually once during a checkpoint i pretended to not know English. Nothing, I mean NOTHING is funnier then watching 5 police officers pull out an English-Spanish dictionary trying to ask me questions while I knew the entire time what they were saying. On top of it all they felt bad for me and let me go home
I know im a badass

 

just so you know, there was a US Supreme Court ruling that said having a K9 unit posted at a sobriety checkpoint is illegal, as roadblocks are meant to evaluate immediate threats to highway safety - having drugs on your possession is not an immediate threat

however, the fact that you were high might void that argument in your situation.

that is what my lawyer is going to be arguing for me, though

good job on stickin it to em though, keep smokin :sifone:

 

exactly. people need to read more into their rights...dumbasses sometimes people are.

 

haha that is a win.

 

actually man, thats pretty funny. because even though i apparently smelled like weed, when i was out of the car standing on the sidewalk and the sargent was checkin my eyes with the flashlight and stuff... he actually thought i DIDNT look high! lol i was fuckin ripped too... so im thinkin wow, what a retard... and i just tell him that i was around my friends who were smokin it, and that i wasnt high.. he totally believed it haha

thats very interesting though, however i did have to get out of the car, and the weed was found in a search of the car by the cops (not dog)... it was after that they had the dog come up and sniff me, and my car.

would this apply to me? cause it is totally fucked that they have k-9's posted there ready to sniff everybodys shit out... thats clearly not a roadblock to keep the highway safe, but more of a drug sweep. when i pulled up there were two k-9's at the checkpoint, one was sniffing somebody elses car- the other was just sitting there.

 

Great job giving them a hard time,but just so you know in NY now they can no longer confiscate paraphinalia.I got pulled over a couple of years ago after being at a friends house trimming plants and stunk like weed really bad.My registration was up so they searched me and my car and found a little weed and my bowl and dugout and had to give it all back,exept the weed.It was funny though because the cop couldnt empty the dugout so he even gave back the weed that wouldnt come out Never make it easy for them,remember this is a war so arm yourself with your rights its all we have.

 

^ right on man! im actually from western new york myself

after looking into it, i dont think it would apply to me, because there was signs as i approached saying "sobriety checkpoint." and apparently since the supreme court ruling of Illinois vs. Caballes, police can have dogs at sobriety checks. if it were just a roadblock for checking tires and inspection, then it would be totally illegal to have dogs. however its totally lame that they bring dogs to a sobriety checkpoint- clearly the agenda there is two-fold; sobriety check AND drug sweep.

also, this wasnt on the highway, not sure if that matters or not
