re: OT Cops - Do you still care about weed?

I dont think a lot of cops will be bothered by a petty amount of marijuana.

I was riding with my sister a few months back, coming home from getting a pizza, and we were pulled over on Burbank. Cop says he saw my sister (the driver) drinking a beer- turned out to be a can of sprite zero). Not willing to admit to himself he's an idiot, the cop tells us he thinks we have weed in the car, makes us get out, performs 2 grope-searches on each of us and then proceeds to throw every single item in the car out searching for a smidge of plant matter. Calls for backup and 3 more cruisers show up, all of them rifling through her stuff, throwing her shite out on the side of the road. All this while we are sitting in the back of seperate cruisers like criminals, bear in mind neither of us had done anything wrong whatsoever. An hour and 15 minutes later (she had a very messy car) we started picking up her stuff offf the side of the road (while they watched, we were told if we left any of it out there they'd hit us with a littering charge) we were on our way with a cold pizza, having been adequately protected and served.
