Just Say No......To Cops ( vid )

"Glove compartment is locked so is the trunk in the back, I know my rights and your gonna need a warrant for that" I learned my rights by listening to jay-z

haha, jayZ rules for learning your rights

What if you have the fold down back seats?

all good and dandy but not really the way it works. About 12-15 years ago my friend and I were driving home from another friends house at about midnight. We had smoked some pot at the friends house we were at so im sure we had a hint of it on us.

Anyways, we got pulled over for a tail light being out. The cop came up to us and said he could smell pot on us, we told him we didnt have any. He then asked if he could search the car and my buddy driving said, no. The police officer then called a K-9 unit 5 cities away and said we couldnt leave until the dog came. He said if the dog barked it meant there were drugs in the vehicle. Well, they had to wake the dude with the dog up and 45 minutes later he finally showed up.

They let the dog in my buddys car, tore the shit out of the seats and the dog started barking. The officer told is that since the dog smelled drugs he had a right to search it. They made us stand outside the whole time. By then around 6 officers were there and they tore the car apart. They didn't even find 1 bean or stem. They left all the shit on the side of the road and told us we could go. This is winter in MN and im pretty sure it was 20 or less outside.. The next day there were scratches from the dog on the seat and dashboard.

We went and filed a complaint against the city and officer and nothing ever happened. He even went to go as far as to threaten to sue the city for the damage to his car but could not afford to retain a lawyer.

Point of the story being, saying no may look great on paper but in the real world police will fuck with you if question their authority.

oh, and the dog fucking barked because the cop was holding up a doggy biscuit and working it up with his voice.

They don't need a warrant if they have probable cause.

That sucks I must say, but at the same time an officer of the law can only hold you for 45 minutes before you yourself can get into the vehicle and leave. This is 100% true because I was once pulled over for the same reason, and the officer asked to search my car, and I said "no". He then told me that he was calling the k-9 unit and I would have to wait until he got there. While waiting I decided to call a friend ( who happened to be in law school ), and asked him if what he was doing is legal, he replied yes, BUT he also added that, the officer couldn't legally hold me for longer then 45 minutes, unless the k-9 unit showed up. after about 30-40 minutes I got out of my car, and told the officer I'd be leaving in 5 minutes. He wasn't very happy and told me if I left I'd be arrested for fleeing and avaiding, but I added he might want to ask his supervisor, he laughed and went into his cop car, no later then 2 minutes he got out of the car, and handed me a warning and told me to be on my way. shit.

yeah, I wish we would have known that. we were just a couple of half stoned 18 year olds trying to make to the the gas station for munchies then go home to bed.

NOOOOOO.... at least you have that 45 minutes of holding... that was not practiced on ours. You just couldn't say no! Or else he'll take you off...

that was the first thing i thought of

fuck the pigs!!! hate them

Nice.

It's all good until they taz or beat you down

She said it right there at the end, if you aren't hiding anything, who gives a shit. Quit riding dirty and you won't have to worry about anything.

already knew that but thnx anyway

I've already told the story of my brothers and their friend looking for good hills to snurf on (snurf boards were snowboards before burton "invented" snowboards for the younguns). They were smoking in his VW out of a bong and a cop pulled up and smelled "reefers". He insisted they turn over the joint and being a cocky bastard, the friend and car owner pulled out the bong and said "we were using THIS!". The cop proceeded to look for joints in the smelly tube until he tilted it up and spilled the dirty bong water all over himself.

True story. Hand to god.

You HAVE GOT to love the 70's.

woot woot

Interesting.. never knew about the trunk, you need a warrant

Bumpin and humpin...

bumped again!

It is simple to sue in small clams court, With some good photos and repair bill you could have got them to pay for the damages.

100% true
