Yep, that's right. After months of daily smoking, I finally got caught. My brother and I (ages 16 and 18 respectfully), as always, went to my car in the parking lot of our apartment to smoke a J. We were just chillin' listening to music and telling stories as always. Then I see this guy in the rearview mirror. He walks up to the car and quickly walks away. Then he starts pacing around in the middle of the parking lot. Finally, he comes up to the car and knocks on the window. When I saw his buzzcut and muscular build, I knew it was a cop.

I roll down the window, and he tells us straight up "I'm a cop. You know you two are being arrested, right?" Needless to say, that scared the living shít out of us. He asked if we had any guns in the car. I told him "no." Then he asks if there was any other drugs in the car besides what's in the bowl (we were just finishing the roach in the bowl, too - almost done smoking). I told him "no." Then he made us get out of the car and put our hands on the hood. Then he kept questioning me about where I got the bud and how much I had left. I told him that all I had was what was in the bowl, and that was the truth.

By this time, I experienced a major buzzkill. Even though we smoked a J of fire-ass mids, I was back to normal ... scared as shít. While we were standing there, the guy told us who he was. He was an off-duty cop (who wasn't in uniform) who happened to be walking by when we were smoking. How shítty is that? So anyway, he asked where we live. I told him. He asked if we live with our parents. I said "Yes, we live with our dad." Then he walked with us to our apartment and made us wake my dad up. It was about midnight at the time.

My dad comes out, and I could tell he was furious. Rightfully so. Just three days before, my brother had been driving that same car and was stopped by a cop. Two of his friends were arrested for possession. He was let off. The next day, he promised my dad that he wouldn't smoke ever again. And now here he is talking to another cop regarding weed. The cop explained to my dad that he was going to let this one slide, even though the state of Florida just issued a "no tolerance" policy regarding drugs. So we didn't have to go to jail over it.

So then, he made me go back to the lake behind our apartment and throw the weed in there. Then he took the bowl and wrote up a report for the apartment complex. (He said he didn't want to because my brother and I were so cooperative and didn't lie to him ... but he had to write a report.) The report is going to be given to the office at our apartment complex, and we may be evicted because of it.

God, this pisses me off. I'm so glad we didn't get arrested, but still we're in so much shít now because of it. Needless to say, my dad is pissed beyond all hell and we may be getting evicted over a damn bowl. The War on Drugs is just plain ridiculous in this case. It's just a damn plant, people.

I woulda been paranoid just seeing a dood pacing back and forth in the middle of the night. Should of just started up the car and took off. But that's just my opinion. Yeah you probably will get evicted, landlords do not like those dirty filthy drugs in there buildings. Although things could have been worst. Could of got put in jail. Look on the bright side. Your not in a cell with Bubba. Good Luck.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but he was standing directly behind my car. If I tried to back out, I would have hit him. Plus, he had already gotten my plates.

If you get evicted because of this, raise hell!! I mean it, let everyone you can know how unfair the system is! Evicted from your home because you were OUTSIDE in a car smoking a joint?? It is wrong, and stories like the IMO make the government sound like a bunch of assholes! How dare you pollute the air with cannabis, just for that, we are taking away your home..

No wonder people call cops pigs, because sometimes that is all they are, dirty, worthless pigs! Though it isn't the cops fault things are like this, i just don't understand why they couldn't let more minor incidents like this slide instead of putting a big buldge in a familys life.

Damn that is the biggest BS I have ever heard.

The cop said he didn't want to write a report but he had to?

Yea right.


That sucks, but I must say that it wasn't too smart of you to sit and smoke in your apartment complex parking lot. You should have road down the local highway or something. Atleast down a main road.

DoritosMan

You should asked for some ID, like mirage said, but you were under presure and that makes you only think at the worst that could happen. Good luck, hope you dont get kicked out, tell us how it ends...

Actually mirage brought up an excellent point! If you would have asked the cop for id, and he didn't have it on him, i would have just taken off, no doubt about it!

RIP JMorrison

good thinking mirage. I would have never thought about that.

Now I pray if I get busted by a off-duty cop and he doesn't have proof.

But wouldn't he just chase him? He also has the liscenes plate #.
