He also says the same for marijuana. If you get get pulled over and have some on you, you can lock the doors and just start munching it down (or chiefing it down for that matter) until its all gone. If their is no residue on the bag and u put some loose change in the bag to say thats where you keep you change, I would think their is no way of prooving you had any. Now they could nab you if you had a pipe but thats only paraphernalia.
If nightshift or anyone has an answer to if this would work and would post it that would be great! I have thought it over many times and I don't see anyway a DUI or poession charge could hold up in a court of law when they don't have any hard evidence.

This is very bad advice. Its a good way to get someone in alot of trouble. When you are pulled over that officer is watching and waiting for you to make a move. If you do anything like this you are only going to make things alot harder for yourself. He does not know what you are ingesting and will always fear the worst and try to get it out if he can. You would be in for one hell of a timw.

Personally, I don't think this would really work. Too many police cars are equipped with cameras which would show a judge how you were driving in the first place. Besides.....I doubt there are too many cops who would just sit back and "watch" you drink all your booze up or smoke all your weed/eat it....whatever... with your doors locked. They would most likely bust out your windows and cuff you before you could get rid of the "evidence" and in court....its THEIR word over YOURS! DUIs are VERY difficult to beat and most are not. They CAN PROVE to a judge or jury....beyond a reasonable doubt that you were impaired under the circumstances you mention!
GUARANTEED!

Yea i never thought the 1st one could work but I still think the idea of eating it right infront of the officer "could" work for someone who is desperate enough or has enough guts (I don't think i would ever try this) only because the officer would be putting you in more danger if he broke the window i.e. the broken glass flying all over you, and if you substained any injuries from the glass with a good enough lawyer you could sue his pants off.

No, you couldn't sue the officer....well, you could, but any judge would laugh it out of the courtroom. The officer is basically excused from any injuries you may recieve, because he was acting "in good faith". He has no idea what substance you may be eating, and could argue that he was attempting to save you from a possible "overdose" of an unknown substance. Aside from that, he'd have enough probable cause to get a warrent requiring you to take a drug test, which would show you had injested marijuana or whatever, and that, combined with the officer's observations of your behavior, would warrent a possession arrest, or possibly even DUI, if he had footage or anything else supporting his claim you were impaired. I'm not against eating a joint or something to avoid arrest, but no rational cop is going to sit and watch you eat your baggie of marijuana. This is one the the most juvinile ideas I've heard to date of attempting to beat a possession charge. it simply isn't rational, and not well thought out of at all. Besides, do you have any idea HOW sensitive the testing for residual amounts can be? I serious doubt in the heat of a traffic stop that you'd be able to eliminate every trace of cannabis. Give up on this idea, as practicing it will only add to the problems you'd be facing. Also, there is a seperate charge for tampering or disposing of evidence....if nothing else, you would go down for that. A more likely scenario is that it would simply be tacked on to all the other charges you'd be facing if you DIDNt try your idea. I'm sorry, but as good as it may sound in your head, the real world application of it will just get you in more trouble. No cop is going to sit patiently outside your window watching you dispose of evidence of a crime. It simply won't happen. Thinking otherwise is simply a fantasy. How many other situations can you think of where a cop would simply observe a suspect getting rid of evidence without interferring? Evidence is important to police officers, and its silly to think they'd allow you to simply get rid of whatever you may have in order to escape and arrest. I've got a 4 yr degree in criminal justice, and have a lot of experiences on both sides of the fence when it comes to "the system". Anyone dumb enough to try your suggestion deserves whatever it is they get as punishment, not because they were in possession of weed, but simply for lacking common sense.

Yeah, great idea ...in addition to DWI and possession, I will also be charging you with disobeying a police officer for not opening the door when ordered to, and falsifying physical evidence for eating the marijuana. That last one is a FELONY.

SkyTripper

Just face reality, man.
First of all....it is NEVER a good idea to drink and drive and in many states now it is far worse to get caught to do so than possessing marijuana.
IMO, this is a good thing because drunk drivers pose a far greater threat to society than any potsmoker.....even a potsmoker who drives high.
Second.....If and when a cop pulls you over, the very BEST thing you can do....no matter how f*cked up you are.....is to immediately ACCEPT the fact that you got caught and COOPERATE with the police. Yeah, you are going to jail, possibly getting released within 24 hours and you KNOW you didn't do anything else to make things worse for yourself or jeopardize your own health by doing something really stupid with the cops there. They WILL shoot you if they have to or feel that their own saftey or others, is compromised.
It ain't worth it! Jail sux but eventually and soon enough you ARE FREE again.
The more stupid plans you conjur up AFTER being pulled over.....the more likely your freedom will take longer to get back.
DON'T drink and drive.....its WAY uncool! I know....I got my share of DUIs and they can haunt you for a very long time. Sometimes I wish I could just trade in my DUI record for a pot possession record cause I doubt I would have suffered nearly as bad or had to do nearly as much jail time.

Niteshift

only because the officer would be putting you in more danger if he broke the window i.e. the broken glass flying all over you,

that's what glass punches are for. While it looks more cool on TV to smash the window with some other object, the real world uses glass punches. Small, spring loaded, no bigger than a marker. The point is placed at the corner, the punch hits it and the window just spiders. No flying glass.

Oh yeah, that is SAFETY glass anyway.

You guys shot that idea down pretty quick, and for good reason it was a dumb idea sorry . It was just something a idiot buddie of mine tried to convice me one night over a bowl. the purpose of posting this "idea" was to find out if it would work, geuss not.

(Please dont censor this part)
By the way I don't drink and drive I am lucky enough to have really cool parents who i can call anytime I have been drinking and need a ride home.
