Hello everybody, this is my first post. So my friend came home from college for the weekend and we were smoking up at his house, then we decided to go to the mall. Once we get there, we start roasting a bowl in the parking lot while still in my car. We finish smoking out of my friends new pipe, and then i open my door to get all the ash out. I look up and see a taxi down the street and start laughing cuz i thought it was a cop and then my friend gets out and goes, "thats not a cop,..... but that is" right as police car slowly rolls by. i then stashed all the shit in the glove box. As soon as we start walking we see the cops walking towards us. One points at me and tells me to come with him. We go to my car and he starts questioning what i was dumping out. I told him it was a cigar (i was stoned). Then i look down and see a ciggarette but and i pick it up and tell him tht thats what it was. He looks at it and even asks me what kind it is. I smoothly said "KOOL" and he just says "Yea, thats right". Then he wlaks to my car window and looks all in it. My window was open like 6 inches and he stuck his fat nose as far as he could into the car and starts sniffing. Then hew asks me if ever been charged for weed related offenses.I tell him no and then he makes me empty my pockets and takes my license. i had nothing on me. So then he goes to the car and is talking on his radio when the other cop comes up and starts smelling the inside of my car. Then he just starts talking about football and what not......he was actaully pretty cool. Then the other cop comes back and lets us go......i'm sorry if this story blows and is long, but i though it was an epic moment, cuz we should have been arrested '
There's no way you should have been arrested, the cops didn't see you doing anything, so there would have been no reason to even go back to your car. If you had gotten arrested it would have been because you don't know your rights well enough, not because the cops did their job.
ohmannn smooth, dont you just love cops who dont care? i had a cop at my old school who always let me get away with my weed as long as it wasnt in a painfully obvious place... And i had another set of em who realllly like my home made hookah i had not charge me for Paraphuuuuh... lol and let me go for the 4 grams in my pocket without a word. but they did take the hooka for their own pleasure im pretty sure.
he told me that it looked like i had a pipe in my hand, but i claimed it was a ciggarette, so i'm pretty sure he knew
haha i know. i told him i smoke both sometimes. Then he made a comment about how the ciggarette butt looked like it was there for ten years. (it was all brown/yellow and torn up) lol

Lol smooth indeed. They can't arrest you for the snell though, that would be so fucking ridiculous. Imagine explaining that to a judge.
Hey GC what do you think would've happened if this guy pulled a Barry "never get busted" approach and cooperated less with the cop? Doesn't sound like the cop was justified to require him to empty his pockets or identify himself right? Let's say he had his stuff in his pockets... I'm thinking if he refused the cop would have patted him right down and then simply pulled his stash out for him... Scary - this is a good learning moment - I have walked around plenty oftimes with contraband on me. No matter the law it seems you are not going to be safe carrying anything around on you besides a joint you can stash or eat. What do you guys think?
You should have been caught. It sounds like you had just finished smoking in your car with your windows cracked a few inches. This means your car should have reeked when the cops smelled in the window... Plus the cops said the ciggarette looked old so im sure he wasnt fooled. Maybe he felt bad to bust you and just gave you a walk since you have never been arrested. They do this somtimes if you have a clean record. This shows your not some trouble maker that needs to be reprimanded. You got scared shitless and probobly learned a lesson without all the unnecesarry arresting nonsense you know.
And sometimes the cops don't care cause its also a waste of their time to arrest you for that when they could do something more productive.
OP depending on whatever state your own, you probably put yourself in a stupid situation. First question should've been 'Am I free to go?" if he said yes, then leave, it he says no then you should've complied with what he told you to do. You don't have to answer questions like "what are you doing?" or "Whats this for?". Don't talk to police if you don't have to.
I was also thinking this but I'm not sure if that would have gone well. The OP was lucky that he did not get into trouble. It seems that the way he acted with the cops resulted in him not getting arrested. I don't think we can say that the same or even a better outcome would have resulted if he acted the "lawyer" boy.
