I got caught by the "man" last night :)

So my smoking started at 2 in the afternoon yesterday and all was going great, driving around with the top down laughing our asses off because we were lost in some neighborhood and kept finding one dead end after another. After I drop those friends off and go to turn in another friend calls me. So I agree to chill with him, but he was very adamant about me bringing my bong so i did.

We drove around smoking bowls till it got dark and found a place to smoke. We busted out the bong smoked 4 bowls out of it then put it in his trunk and started to head home while smoking bowls.

We stopped at the local gas station because had had business to attend to so his girl friend met us there and picked me up for a ride home. I hopped into her car with the bong at my feet. We make the first turn on to the high way and I spot a sheriff waiting to turn on to the high way.

I tell the driver and she says "oh what ever". Then the sheriff starts tailing us and she starts to freak out telling me that the plates on her car are for her old car that was recked a weeks ago by a drunk driver.
So the cop starts fucking with us riding our ass, then acting like hes gonna pass, then slowing down and getting back on our ass.
So i take the bong and pick it up with my feet and pass it to my hands then shove it up under my hoody next to my ribs. After 5 minutes of this he finally pulls us over. Everything is going fine she explains to him the accident and the plates and he seems understanding. Then all of a sudden theres a cop knocking at my window. So I roll it down and he asks me for my name and identification so I give it to him.

Then he says "so how much have you smoked tonight?" like he was asking me the time.

I recall my dad telling me "Lie to the cops not matter what when it comes to marijuana unless they already have solid evidence against you." So I look the cop in the eyes and tell him none. He then says "Look man I can smell it, your slurring your words, your showing all the symptoms, and I've been doing this for 8 years." So I quickly reply " I don't smell like anything, symptoms?, and I am definitely not slurring my words."
This is when he starts to look a little pissed and says "I'll be right back" and leaves with my license. He comes back and looks really pissed because the only thing on my record was a curfew ticket from a while back. He then says " Your lying to me and I know it, you've been shaking since you were first pulled over. " I cut him off mid sentence and say " Shaking? what do you mean shaking?". He replies in a angry tone " Shaking like your scared cause you have something to hide." So I snap back " I'm shaking because i just jumped into a cold car in cold weather so I was cold.
Your wearing a beanie and winter coat. The car just heated up and im not shaking now am I? Wouldn't you think I would be shaking more now that your talking to me?".

He looks really pissed at this point and says "Look if you tell me now I wont charge you as hard." Now i know that marijuana is decriminalized and since this is my first offense I will only get a ticket. So I tell him "I dont have a thing." Then he shouts at me " That was a mistake" and walks back to his car.

Then they start questioning the driver and ask us to exit the vehicle. So as I stand up the bong falls out of my hoody onto the seat. I put my hands up and say " Ok fellas the jig us up, I have a present for you in the front seat". The cop quickly grabs my hands and puts them behind my back as the other cop pulls the bong out of the car. I then tell them that the slide is in my pocket so they go to search me. While digging through my pockets he found a bunch of candy wrappers and cracked a smile.

When the original cop walked up I engaged him first " Sir I was lying to you earlier and I apologize for that" He then smiles at me and says thank you. Then they got really cool and sat their lecturing the driver about something else. While thats happening the other cops are telling me that this isnt that big of deal and they have all been in this situation once. So i make small talk as they fill out my ticket for 110 bucks and a mandatory court date. As I'm signing the ticket the questioning cop told me that since I came clean he wasn't going to give me the class two misdo meaner of with holding information. So I say thank you and they take my bong and part ways.

But what the fuck is with holding information?

Isn't that the same as pleading the fifth?

Man i hated bringing that bong in the car especially since we can sit at my house and toke with it. But my friends all insisted and I didnt have bud so I was in quite the predicament.

I was not shaking in fear lol, it was cold, I live in colorado and its spring. In the spring its warm in the sun but still freezing balls at night. Hence the reason the officer was wearing a beanie and winter jacket.

Prime decision, snickers are a melting pot of ecstasy that disolves in your mouth.

 

Well the driver got charged with having two bags, and paraphernalia. Plus a ticket for the plates.

It turns out that her previous boss had fired her and then claimed she had stolen over a grand worth of clothes. So the same cop that was questioning me was the same cop that got to search her house for the stolen clothes.

Upon searching the house he found weed and shrooms. So they took those, gave her a ticket, and confiscated most of her clothes.

Ive known this girl since I was but a wee lad because she was my neighbor for 8 years of my child hood and has always lived in the same town as me. So I know that she didnt steal the clothes and shes just having bad luck.

Ive decided that she is nothing but dead weight with chains and grappling hooks.

 

I wasnt talking about the fact that I was lieing.I meant with holding information. If you plead the 5th are you not with holding information?
