The "How NOT to get busted" Thread

excellent point. It holds true for californians though i don't know if other states and countries have the same law. I ammended my original post.

it's still better to ride with it in the trunk than on your person or in the cabin though imo, just to reduce smells and the possibility of it being seen somehow

^^i definately agree w/ that. in ohio, my friend and i have been pulled over 2 times and gotten the car searched. we never had anything in the car anyway, but when the cops searched, they only looked around in the cabin, not in the glove box or trunk. so yea, it would be smart to keep you stash in the trunk, at least in ohio, imo. but its sometimes just too tempting not to smoke in the car...
 
try not to wear any pink floyd/bob marley/hemp/bud leaf t-shirts
short hair
fairly casual clothes (aka no raver pants)
don't write 420 everywhere or every chance you get
don't blast music in your car

pretty much use common sense the reasons I've listed above are the ways I've seen people get caught.
 
(some of this is marijuana specific...)

In general: look relatively clean, dress relatively clean, drive a clean looking car. i.e. don't go cruising around with patchwork everything and dreads in a VW bus covered in grateful dead and phish stickers. Associate with clean-looking friends, and never hang out with dealers. As bad as hippie cars are brightly colored sports cars - my clean-cut honor student roommate got 36 (!!!) fix-it tickets by driving a yellow camaro in high school until he threatened to sue for harassment. The cops were always looking for drugs. I drive a grey ford taurus and have never been pulled over or had a cop eye me up (*knocks on wood*). It's a totally uninteresting car.

In the car: read the laws that govern you in various search situations and understand them; you can say "no" a surprising amount but the cops have learned verbal tricks to use on you. Be prepared to lie to cops looking them in the eye. I've had to do this before, and I've passed several times (note: I seem extremely trustworthy to people for whatever reason). When you're stopped remember that the officer has no reason to suspect you of anything. Don't get nervous, take any ticket you have to, and be on your way. Remember that the cop is your enemy, but make sure you treat him like a friend who's out to protect you from those evil crazy druggies who want to steal your children and force them to perform animal sacrifices.

If I remember correctly I concluded that your pocket is the safest place to put the weed in your car, as cops can't search your pockets unless it feels like a weapon is in there. That's if the weed can't be smelled in your pocket, otherwise it definitely goes in the trunk. Don't drive drunk and especially don't smoke in your car.

If you do get arrested, tell them nothing, certainly don't mention prior offenses or try to bargain. You've got one line: "I want to speak to a lawyer."

Taking drugs into concert venues, always crotch, don't risk a patdown. Eat your pot beforehand or use joints as they are easy to discard. One hitters are somewhere in the middle between these options and pipes, which are very high risk. Be intelligent about your crowd - don't smoke unless a lot of other people are. Smoke in the lawn in a dark section. If you are at a concert where you are not about to drive, remember that if anyone asks you're drunk and not high or tripping.

Smoke in safe situations, way out in the woods or in houses that you know are safe. Don't risk anything in dorms or small apartments. Use a waterpipe to cut down on odor.

Don't deal, keep to the softer drugs, and always carry the minimum that you plan to take with you. Don't make any buys on the street or in clubs. If you don't have networks through friends, build them. I've never bought on the street.

You can always move to california where smoking weed is a civil fine and most cops don't give much of a shit if it's simple possession. Don't know what the civil fine would do to your probation.

Oh yeah, and the best suggestion as one of the above posters said is to always trust your gut. If it doesn't feel right don't do it.

They can search whatever the damn hell the want....they smell somethin on you, or say you looked high, they search people here (jersey) like that all the time.

I got a good tip for not comin under suspicion: dont be black. sad but true....

Or if youre in the ghetto and dont know where youre goin: dont be white or the pigs will flock to u like a fuckin magnet. thats a simple one

Really doe the best way to keep shit on the DL when you on probation and shit is to onl surround yourself w people u trust, if its possible to do that. You said u dont sell so it
shoud be easy to avoid the peeps u dont wanna see.

I guess this is moreabout sellin, and goes against what alot of peps on bluelight chat about, but my word is Dont talk business with anyone who aint directly invoved. All that shitll do is fuck u over. No matter how it comes up and shit, just dont put no infformation out that dont need to be out, know what I'm sain? Even if u think its people u can trust with some people u never know.
 
Just keep things as low profile as possible. If you're just smoking weed in your home, the only way I can think of that you'd draw any attention from the police is if someone (ie a neighbour) suspects something and phones them. Or if you do something REALLY stupid. Sounds like obvious common sense, but I see so many people just screaming out to be busted, just cos they're not being sensible.

Does anyone have any links/resources to info regarding the police ? Such as what they can and can not do... what you have to answer, what not to say etc...?

I'm looking for more 'general' info as each state does have its own little nit-picks.
 
the problem is the police dont follow the rules in some places at all. It aint like the law is gonna protect you from gettin arrested cause if they wanna get u bad enough they will....some cops will make up anything to fuck with you and kick your ass when theyre done, and get away with it cause they can. the list youre talkin about, basically the 'users rights' and technicalities that can get a drug user sprung, would be helpful but the problem is it aint like thats gonna save your ass definitely cuz you never know what the pigs are gonna do.
 
Know your source as best you can.
If you're sourcing your shit from someone you don't know, if it doesn't feel right don't do it (as stated)
------------------------------------------------------
Drugs + public = no.
If you must buy in public, return home IMMEDIATELY to drop them off. If you're going to your buddy's house and you're both going to get into whatever, go straight there, no bullshit.
If you must carry in public, for whatever reason, know when it's a good time to ditch what you're holding, and where's a good place to ditch it.
If you must use in public, be the most inconspicuous motherfucker you can.
Also, regardless of if there are drugs involved or not, it's always a good idea to be familiar with and observant of your surroundings.
--------------------------------------------------
Keeping use private is essential if you're really looking to NOT get busted.
---------------------------------------------------
Have good stash spots. I guess this only really matters if you're living with people who don't know/wouldn't approve of your use, but I don't know your circumstances. Learn the art of "hiding in plain sight."
----------------------------------------------------
Whenever you're about to put yourself in a risky situation, take a second to consider the consequences. Always know that there will be other opportunities if you don't get busted, but you might not be able to say the same thing if you do [get busted].
---------------------------------------------

I dunno, it's mostly shit that people have said, but I figured restatement couldn't hurt.
 
an important thing is to know how to talk to cops. don't hug their nuts just cause your intemidated, you have rights. They are doing their job, don't give them a reason to work harder.

A trick I found to work wonders is if you are stopped. turn you car light on, take your keys and place them on the dashboard (this is a sign that someone in your family is an officer) and place your hands up high on the wheel. This gives them a sense of security (this has worked twice for me before, once I was on shrooms and the other time I was rolling).

Erowid can answer you more specific questions I found the car search and siezure article to be most helpful.

Don't buy/sell in public, even if the place is secluded. I only buy from people at their residence, and only do drugs in the privacy of my own home. I don't sell (anymore, that is) and it pisses off alot of people (somehow I got to be popular as a dealer) People still call me at 3am saying "Dr. Mario! I need weed/pills/whatever, you got the hookup right?" I just hang up the phone and go back to sleep these days....I'm tired of this bullshit.
I have people calling me all the time asking me if I can find weed for them... The sad part is I don't even smoke the stuff. I just know a lot of stoners and people assume that I know where its at, or that I can get it for them.
Also, try to not to smoke it in your car. I can smell that shit from a mile away and every time I get into my boyfriend's car I smell it, even if he hasn't smoked in it in a few days.
