Getting pinched... is it inevitable?

[BK38]

I have never gotten "pinched" as such, but I have definitely had my fair share of close calls.

The first instance was when I was 14 and in Beijing (where i grew up and live now). I was smoking a Joint of Hash + Tobacco and walking to a football pitch where some friends of mine were chatting up some French girls they had met at a bar near by. As I'm about to turn into the gate of the "Workers Stadium" a cop walks over out of no where and asks me to stop. I do and I think I'm completely fucked as I stand there incredulous and wide-eyed with a Joint still smoldering away in my right hand. The cop asks me what I am smoking and i tell him it's "Indian Tobacco" that my friend grows himself. Then...get this...the cop asks if he can try some! I don't know what to do, so I oblige him and hand him the Joint to puff on. I warned him before that it was quite strong and he should only smoke a little, as it could make him dizzy He takes a couple hits, coughs and says "wow, you're right, it's really strong" (In Chinese) and handed my Joint back to me and I was on my merry way. I swear this is totally true and was in 2004, I doubt the cops would be so ignorant in 2012.

The second close call was in New York, well, Long Island to be specific. I was visiting a friend over New Years from Beijing and had literally gotten off the plane earlier that evening, checked into the hotel, armed myself with a map, cell phone, cigarettes and cash then went to my buddy's place in Long Island. We had been railing lines of blow all evening and the time came for me to catch the last train back to my hotel off of Time Square. He decides to walk me to the station and we smoke a fat Joint of some dank while we walked over. Just as I throw the remnants of the Joint into the gutter, we hear this "woop woop" behind us, sure enough, it's the cops. They tell us thy smell weed, put us up against a wall spread eagle and search us. We smelled like weed hardcore, but luckily, we were holding nothing. Cops let us go, with one of them muttering "Fucking kids...get em next time etc etc.

Those are my 2 close encounters. I think appearance, maintaining a calm demeanor, being polite and taking the precaution of hiding/making it less blatant re drugs is the key to not getting busted. With that said, there are certainly no guarantees in the Dope game.

Be safe everyone!

:D

Its a gamble....always be ready to eat your shit if its a hard drug. You get stopped swollow the gram of dope.....it aint worth the jail, court, fines, record, lawyer , mandatory classes, probation. if it's a larger quantity....hide it very well. trunk inside something....make a cop work to find that shit. but i've never been popped, just gotta be careful and observant out there.

Been pulled over a few times here in south africa with stuff on us being suspicious like parked on the side of the road waiting etc.
There are always 2 ways it can go.

1. Your white, which means instead of being considered suspicious, you are instead warned not to park on the side of the road i case of carjackings, like your the good guy. Love it.
2. You get searched, hand over your stuff and pay a small "fee".

My guy now put a taxi sign on his car, so everything he does looks far less suspicious. Awesome idea.

I've never been caught, but live in a town small enough that the cops tend to find out anything and everything in no time at all. Fortunately, they're not too good at completing investigations. I used to go to this kid who was an active informant, and got followed around constantly. I knew he was working with the cops, but he had killer buds and I never have more than a slice on me. Didn't sell any, use any other drugs, and it was always in one bag. So I honestly didn't care too much about the cops knowing I was buying from him. He's in prison now, that was three years ago, and I never had any problems. So I guess it was cool.

Yup,i remember i go to philly and all my friends had been caught.And i just copped and this big dude with a badge necklace comes right up and cuffs me..Im like fuck its my time..And also i cant believe how easy some jails are.I was watching the show jail in las vegas and they get to watch t.v while waiting to get booked ya know mugshot,printed and all that..In philly you dont watch t.v..Your in a 10 by ten cell with a 4 foot stone thing to sit down in and a piss stained and cockroach riddled concrete floor for 18-30 hours..So it really sucks being in this game sometimes..Well ,all the time..It hardly ever happens but when it does it sucks..And especially when you get out and have no money to cop and they took your shit..Thats the worst.Its not so bad if you know your gettin out and walking to cop but the ride home sucks dope sick,

In nyc it used to be like where i go to cop open air drug markets till guiliani locked everyone up..Now you never get caught..In the south bronx theres so many numbers,so many people organized as shit that drive around a 4 mile square radius dropping shit off all day in different cars all day..my boys been doing it for 9 years hasnt gotten caught once besides s drug dui.
