I've never been in a situation where a cop had any reason to be rude or disrespectful to me. I'm careful to the point of paranoia and it's kept me out of jail plenty of times over the years. I'm also lucky enough to live in an area where none of the local cops or sheriff's deps care at all about pot as long as you're not a punkass kid who gives 'em shit when they pull you over for smoking a blunt in your hooptie while blasting souljah boy.

"Yes sir/no sir" goes a long damned way. I've found that if you approach the cop as though he is another person and not a "pig," speak to him or her with respect (the same way you would like to be treated...golden rule still applies), and aren't a prick, chances are you're gonna walk away unscathed. Hell, I've had sheriff's deputies out here talk to me on my front porch with a jar of dank bulging from my breast pocket and not even bat an eye.

Got out of a couple tickets before, speeding once, no registration once (because I just bought the car and was going to the smog shop). I have no problem with the police, it's the laws that have given me trouble. When I quit drinking I also quit having encounters with them.

This is a good one. Around 1980 we were looking to score a bag. We hit up everyone we knew, but it was dry. We ran into a friend at the 7-11. He was stealing bottles of Cold Duck from 7-11, going behind the building to drink them, then going back and stealing more. He was quite toasty. We asked if he knew where to score and he said yes, his sister could hook us up. We drove him to her house and waited in the van. He came back out 5 minutes later with a mop, and said they were about to be busted and was trying to flush 5 lbs down the john. We decided it was time to split, but we didn't move more than 6 feet and we were surrounded by cops and DEA. They separated us and questioned us. Luckily, me and the driver told the same story: Our "friend" was drunk and asked for a ride to his sisters. We were just being good friends and making sure he got where he was going safely.

In the mean time, the drunk got mouthy and ended up slammed on the ground and cuffed. He was screaming obscenities at the cops from the back seat of a cop car.

They were going to search the van, but we used it to lay carpet and it was knee deep in carpet scraps and beer cans. The cops looked in the window, and said "I ain't digging through that shit!"

We were clean, no drugs, so they were trying to decide to haul us in or let us go. A plainclothes cop I had never seen in my life said "I know these boys, they did some carpet work for me. They are good guys, let 'em go." And just like that, they let us go, while our friend got charged with battery on a LEO, resisting arrest and whatever else they could throw at him

I never figured out why that cop vouched for us, none of us knew him, but he saved us a lot of trouble.

I have a primal hatred for authority.

But authority is not the problem out there it's the retarded outdated laws against something natural from the earth they enforce. That just doesn't quite make fucking sense really!

I have a primal hatred for authority.

TBT I did as well when I was young and angry. (Now Im just old and bitter ) After I joined the military, my views towards authority (in general) changed. You dont have to always agree with it, but you most always have to respect it. Just 'play the game'. You will be surprised how much you can accomplish by simply doing that. Probably one of the most valuable life lessons I have learned.

back in NY (he-he, this one time @ band camp...) and actually more than once being very respectful of the leo at hand has allowed me to keep my stash although one cop helped himself to a good 1/2oz outta my bag, he was a notorious stoner but good enough to give most of it back regardless. He would've been furious to know that the White Castle garbage bag in the car had a QP of the same kind bud he'd just grabbed off me.

 

[NOKUY]

Smoked a few joints with a cop when I was younger and those were positive experiences because we were high as hell together

That is always a rush because you still expect them to bust your ass any second and get all serious on you suddenly but that never happened thankfully

So I was sitting there on the couch I can still remember it, was a dude I went to school with in uniform with full belt and everything on, hitting a big fat joint with me of weed I grew. lol he didn't know I grew it though of course! Classic.

Sometimes I miss the Northeast.

ha.

NOT!

A good cop is a Cannabis smoking cop as far as I am concerned! The herb brings out the goodness in people like that, makes people stick together and chill out!
