So, I had celebrated my new job with a joint in the middle of the night on the way to my friends house. Once there, I find she as well as I are both hungry, though she is sober (and remains so until we return). She drives us to Walmart where our plan is to buy the ingredients for pepperoni and macaroni. To do this, she must drive through Windsor Heights, an area of Des Moines known for tight-assed cops who will pull you over for absolutely anything.

Well, you've probably figured out we got pulled over. It turns out one of her headlights is broken, so he tells her and gives her a warning. Then he walks over to my side of the car, where I am internally trying to calm the hell down and externally visibly shaking.

He shines the flashlight in my face and asks me If I have been drinking or smoking this evening. I had a brief but furious internal debate, and ended up answering:

"Smoking." "If I searched you or the car, would I find any marijuana?" "Nope." "Lying makes it worse." "I'm not lying."

So he leaves after writing her a warning, and as we drive to Walmart she explains to me that since I was not in possession and not driving under the influence, he cannot charge me with a goddamn thing!

Huzzah!

I need to tell my friends this, they'll be a lot less worried about getting pulled over. Actually, there are cops in my area who are cool enough not to write somebody up for something like that anyway.

A lot of cops in my area were cool with giving you a warning and having you get rid of the weed.

Sometimes by giving it to them.tongue

Just being stoned isn't illegal. Having the pot is. If you didn't have any pot on you or in the car, you would have been ok. Apparently you convinced him that you didn't have any with you.

NOTE!: Probably a good idea to check up on your local laws before doing anything potentially stupid.

I've done this, although in my case it's more along the lines of "the cops don't give a shit".

Cop's back at my old town in Colorado would've arrested you if it just crossed their mind that you might be high.

They are notorious assholes, even by cops from other counties.
