It is a roundabout way of accusing an officer that gave you a break of being corrupt and seems just a tad ungrateful to me.

NEWSFLASH: There are TONS more cops out there that smoke weed than you could ever imagine. How do i know this? I see it firsthand. My friends brother who is now a cop came to a kegger of mine last week and rolled up the biggest fatty ive seen in quite some time...he also told us that another officer (his partner) had confiscated the pot we were smoking and kept a glass piece for himself! Im sure the fuckers that got caught were thinking "fuckin pig is gonna smoke our shit!".....He was right

Also i dont think smoking weed qualifies a cop as being corrupt IMO

I agree. Taking weed off people you bust and smoking it is corrupt though.

"NEWSFLASH: There are TONS more cops out there that smoke weed than you could ever imagine."

NEWSFLASH: The two cops that you know of that smoke pot does not qualify as TONS more than I can ever imagine. By the way.....your friend's brother doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I still maintain that the overwhelming majority of police officers do NOT smoke pot. I never said that it doesn't happen, only that the chances are not good.

"Why? look at it this way its win/win for everyone, the kids didnt get busted and the cop got himself a free baggy...ide give my sack to a cop any day of the week if it meant that i wasnt going to be arrested or charged with anything."

It is corrupt for an officer to confiscate pot and then smoke it themselves. Even if you are okay with it....it is corrupt. The implication that they are smoking it themselves turns the cop from someone doing you a favor by letting you go to someone that is using their position to steal your pot.

Haddock:
By making the implication (as well as posting the officer's name and city) you run the possibility that officer will be much less likely to let the next person off. I just don't think that rewarding the officer's favor by posting on a public forum that he most likely is getting high off of your pot, his name and city, and stating that he was violating his superiors officer's order is not the best way to thank someone for not arresting you.

You really think cops spend their time perusing internet forums about marijuana? I really hope not, that'd be a terrible waste of tax payers' money. There's no way the officer or his superiors are going to be reading this message. And even if they are, it's not like they're going to fire him over letting some guy off with a warning. Hell, the guidelines set out by the Misuse of Drugs Act actually advise giving a warning if the amount of cannabis is small and the offender is over 18. If anything, the guy should be commended for following the law and not the orders of his superior, which contradict the law.

And I am grateful that he let us off with a warning. I'm just saying that I think he smoked the weed. I mean, why didn't he just pour the weed onto the wet grass? It'd make the weed unusable and show us that they have actually disposed of it. No, instead they took the grinder with the weed in it and walked off, with nothing about the cannabis being reported on any record.

"You really think cops spend their time perusing internet forums about marijuana? I really hope not, that'd be a terrible waste of tax payers' money."

I know for a fact that some of them do. Some even occasionally post here. Whether or not you believe that they will ever read this...this is a public forum and it doesn't seem right to post the name and city. Apparently you disagree with me. I just honestly think that the officer that gave you a break probably wouldn't be thrilled to see his name, location, and the suggestion that he probably smoked the pot posted on a public forum.

"I'm just saying that I think he smoked the weed. I mean, why didn't he just pour the weed onto the wet grass? It'd make the weed unusable and show us that they have actually disposed of it."

I had wondered that myself. Perhaps they were worried about accidentally starting a little wild plant.....or they didn't want the "evidence" laying around. Or maybe they actually did smoke it. Who knows? All I know for sure is that there are officers that are offended at the suggestion and the idea of reading that some kid that was given a break was going around spreading rumors that they probably smoked it might make some officers hesitate the next time they consider giving someone a break.

Heck, his name and location weren't even necessary for the telling of the story, so why include them?

I can imagine a large number of cops smoking weed but statistically speaking it`s impossible that they are anything but a minority. Good to hear the five-oh are having a blast in your area, though!

I actually doubt he was under any professional obligation to bust everybody for the possession of cannabis. Also, although I don`t necessarily agree that his name should be posted, it`s Haddock`s right to speak of an incident relating to a public service and, particularly in relation to marijuana and intentions toward legalisation, it`s not a bad idea to identify incidents of law enforcement in relation to drugs as honestly as possible. ...Just throwing it out there!

They`ll fill the report in later, I`d imagine. I`ve had weed confiscated before and they`ve always taken it with them, but I can`t imagine most of them walking off and blazing one!

It isn't obvious at all. Believe it or not, most cops do not smoke pot. They are regularly drug tested and have way too much to lose. I am not saying for sure that they didn't smoke it....but the chances are not good let alone "obvious".

Blondie:
"I mean, I understand they did you a BIG favor, but did they or did they not directly violate the orders of their superiors?"

I doubt they ever received any orders along that line. After all, it is kind of a silly order. It's like telling them to go out and do their job. If you get lucky enough to be let go by a cop for a small amount of weed they will often stress how lucky you are and how generous they are being to try to reduce the chances of you doing it again.

After all, if they just said "we can't even be bothered with this small amount of pot" it wouldn't exactly discourage anyone from doing it again.

ihavenoidea:
"Also when they say whats going on over here just reply with, im not giving you consent to talk to me, after that they cant do much and you can just leave."

Not the best of advice. Getting smart with the officers is not the best idea. Why antagonize them unnecessarily? You can politely say no if they ask to search you, but acting like a punk won't win you any favors.

**Oh.....and umm Haddock.....perhaps it isn't the best idea to put the officer's name and the town up. After all, this is a cop that gave you a break, doesn't seem right to run the risk of drawing attention to him.**

Thanks for systematically breaking down every post in the thread.

If you refuse to be searched, chances are they'll detain you and find a reasonable suspicion on which to search you anyway. Or they'll get a warrant. The real benefit of refusing to be searched is that it might be found in court that the search was not reasonable and the evidence gets thrown out. If you consent to the search, that option disappears.

Since when did anyone require "consent" to talk to anyone? Not in the United States! If you are arrested, they read you your Miranda rights. At that point you can refuse to be interrogated without the presence of counsel. You are always required to present ID, name, and address. After that you don't have to answer any questions.

Nah, he said straight out that he wasn't going to report the weed. He wrote the report out infront of us and gave us a copy. It doesn't say anything about confiscation, the closest thing is "Retrieved blue Rizla in possession."

And goodgirl, I was going to remove the name just in case it actually does get read by the cops, but for some reason I can't edit the post, so I guess it'll have to stay. Besides, Flinn is a common surname, I bet there are loads of cops called Flinn and loads of places called Stetchford.

And as far as I know, there are only a small handful of LEOs on this site, and they're all American. The odds of someone from his station, or even the metropolitan police as a whole, coming on and reading it are incredibly slim.
