How To Avoid Getting Arrested/how To Minimize Legal Ramifications.

People will more than likely have a run-in with the police while partaking in herbal activities. The most common places of encounter will during a traffic stop, at your home or someone elses or on the street. I will start with my tips on how to perform during a traffic stop and I will eventually add other posts regarding what to do in different scenarios to keep each post fairly small.
 
Alright so you're cruising down the street and lets assume the worst case scenario that you have some bud in your pocket and you notice a cop following you closely. Firstly, don't have anything illegal in your car unless you can readily swallow it in under a minute. So swallow that stuff when you see the police signaling for you to pull over! 
 
The traffic stop will go like this, 1: The officer stops you because he saw you violate a traffic law, you were speeding or you have a light out. H e can't stop you for no reason and he has to prove in court that he had a reason to pull you over. When pulled over just pull over all the way to the right and give the officer some room so he isn't worried about getting hit by traffic, keep your hands on the steering wheel where the officer can see them and be sure to have the car turned off. The more at ease you can get the officer, the easier and less vigilant he will be towards you. 2: The officer is going to ask you for your drivers license and other documents all while trying to assess if you are apart of any other criminal activity. He may want to search your car but he has to have probable cause to do so, he would need the odor of marijuana or something like a bag of weed sitting in plain view. 3: Investigative detention, basically you will be asked out of the car, patted down and asked questions so they can understand what you are doing out so late or whatever your case may be. Be smart, you have the right to remain silent when dealing with police, so be respectful but do not answer any questions. During this time the police will then ask to search your car and they are asking because they don't have permission so always deny their requests to search by saying "Officer I understand you are just doing your job but I don't consent to searches and I would really like to be on my way." After you deny a search politely ask the officer "Am I being detained or am I free to go?" This simple question establishes the fact that you are unwillingly being held and the police have to have some sort of physical evidence or suspicion against you to hold you against your will. From here the only move the police have is to get a drug dog and if it alerts on your vehicle (which the police can force the dog to alert) then they can search, so be ready because they will search. Hide your stuff under panels or somewhere very hidden but the best thing you can do is to just swallow your stuff and never keeps pipes or anything like that in the car. Now since you didn't consent to the search the police will then have to establish in court why they wanted to search you by supplying a reason such as an odor or the sight of ashes on the seat, if the officer can't prove his suspicion of you being a part of criminal activity then the search can be ruled as being illegal and all evidence seized would be thrown out of court. So lets say they find something, be calm and realize that you will be going to jail. Say nothing to the police because they will likely be asking for information to make it "easier" on you but they are really just trying to get more evidence against you.
 
To sum it up:
1- Be respectful to police, but don't answer any questions.
2-Don't give police a reason to stop you, don't drive like a maniac and don't drive with anything illegal unless you can swallow it immediately. It's known that nothing good happens after 9:30 pm, so do all your drug deals in the morning/afternoon and don't be out late. There are less cars out on the road at night so more attention would be on you if you passed a patrolling police car.
3-Do not give permission to search your body and your vehicle. The officer is asking you for a reason, he needs permission so don't give it to him. Again, denying their searches gives room for defense in the courtroom because the police will have to supply a reason with evidence as to why they searched you without permission. 
4-Inform the officer respectfully that you do not want to be there and you would like to be on your way by saying "Officer am I being detained or am I free to go?"
5-Don't drive around with anything you can't swallow! Chances are that you will get searched by police, just because they are good at making that happen even if they don't have "probable cause" so swallow what you got right when you see those lights in your mirror! If you get caught doing this you will be charged with destruction of evidence though so be veryyyy careful! 
 
I hope I helped a bit, don't worry about police when you see them. They are people just like everyone else who go home and sit on the toilet and fiddle with their phones just like everyone else. The only difference is that they have sworn to protect the law so don't ever think they will "go easy" on you. If they witness you doing a crime, you will be going to jail.
 
It's easy to avoid these situations, just be smart and use a little common sense and it will go along way and it will save you money in court fees and fines too.

 

Sorry everyone, I had to edit my post a bit from the original one I did last night. Feel free to add in any tips that you might have with the police. I know there are tons, I could write all day on this topic.

 

What lies? You're not making much sense.
