Two Stories Where Cops Don't Suck
I have two pretty good stories from the last six months that involve cops
that haven't done anything crazy or irrational.
The first one is a pretty crazy story. I was back in my hometown
on a break from college. Three of my friends and I were riding around
in our neighborhood smoking our second blunt. At the same time there
were some beers being drank as well as a bottle of tequila on the
floor, while I was cutting up limes on a folder.
We pull up to a four way stop in our neighborhood when we see
a cop pull up behind us. We turn left, he turns left, we immediately
turn right into another subdivision and so does the cop. Understand
that all four windows are up and we only have the sunroof down. As
we turn into the subdivision he throws on his lights and everyone's
heart jumps. The front two passengers roll down their windows trying
to let more smoke out. The front passenger throws the blunt out
the window, IN THE EXACT place that we are stopped.
The cop comes to the driver's window and asks what we have been
up to tonight. My friend replies, "Nothing much going on, so were
just driving around." I'm thinking great, this cop knows. There is
literally still smoke hovering in the car. The cop then asks, "So, have
y'all been robbing houses?" We're like what the hell, we have 3 guys
and a girl driving around in a Mercedes Benz, definitely not looking like
thieves. The cop gets license and registration, finds out that we live
3 minutes away and lets us go.
Moral of this story: There is NO WAY in hell that this cop couldn't
have smelled weed. Imagine, driving around in a car with windows
up, having burned a half a blunt, getting pulled over, and then
throwing the blunt out the window WHILE the cop is approaching
the vehicle. I insist myself that the cop knew we were smoking
and he was truly looking for robbers, and let us go.
*******************************************
This second story is a little more crazy. My friend and I are driving
back from a party. I think this is around my senior year in high
school. I was too drunk to drive, so my friend was at the wheel.
We both have cups of liquor in the cup holders as we cruise towards
home smoking a blunt. Within five minutes of lighting the blunt, I
go to ash it out the window, only that I'm toooo drunk, and actually
drop the blunt out the window. I immediately tell my friend, "We have
to turn around and find that blunt."
It is pretty late, close to 3AM, so no one is on the road. I hop out of
the car and my buddy pulls a 180. He is now heading the opposite
way down the road so I can use the headlights of the car to find
the blunt. Unbelievably, I find the blunt, pick it up, put it in the
air as if it is a trophy showing my friend that I found it. This is when
I realize a car is driving down the road coming at us head on.
Remember: our car is facing the WRONG way down this road. I think
to myself, this has to be a cop. Sure enough, he slows down right
near us. I literally picked up the blunt up 30 seconds earlier. I realize
that the cop wants to talk to me. So I start walking over to the cop
car and put my blunt in my pocket. While putting my blunt in my
pocket, my high/drunk ass grabs my cell phone out of my pocket.
In slightly slurred speech I tell the cop, "Hey officer, just was looking
around for my phone, I dropped it out the window while driving."
I tell him this as I am squatting down and leaning into his window
to talk to him. My eyes are red, I smell like weed and liquor. He
calmly replied, "Well, loooks like you found it, have a good night."
I couldn't believe the cop bought my drunk ass story and kept on
going. He could have just gotten out of his, found open containers
in my car, weed in my car, the blunt in my pocket, citation for driving
the wrong way with HIGH BEAMS on.
So, these two stories just go to show that cops aren't always looking
to bust some weed smokers. Although I've dealt with many more
asshole cops regarding weed, (been pulled over 3 times with weed
in the car and cops have never found any) it is cool to know that some
are still normal out there.
