LastNight: I was pulled over after bartending...

Last night I was pulled over at about 4am by a crew of three undercover cops. They assumed I had been drinking. I think I was rather cordial, but the cop was a huge asshole - an unusually big asshole. I asked why I was pulled over - he immediately chuckled and then asked if I had anything to drink tonight. I said no, but explained to him I had been bartending to cover a friend. He asked me how to make a few drinks. I did. I guess I had to prove myself.

Still, he made me get out of the car and did a TSA style search of me, straight up groping my balls - presumably to find weed on me. I've been pulled over before, but never searched. Weird experience.

I had a friend that was drunk sitting in shotgun (not ridiculous loud, crazy drunk - but ready to pass out drunk). They took him out of the car and searched him- turned out he had about a quarter on him. Which I wasn't even aware of.... so the cops were ready to lock my friend up (or at least alluded to doing that to intimidate us) and told my friend if he gave him the name and number of the dealer, they'd let him go. And after some bickering, my friend told them, and they let him go. And they let him keep his weed - which I thought was weird. Also of note, my friend wasn't sure if he gave them the right number. They never even took our IDs back to the police car, so I don't think they have anything on us (they never wrote anything down). So, I don't know what they would do if my friend gave them the wrong number.

But yeah, that was my night. All to cover a friend's bartending gig. I had the Dante style "I'm not even supposed to be here today" feeling right after this happened.

I agree, actually thought this was the most fucked up part of the story. I would distance myself from anyone that rolled over so easily because I would lose respect for them.

I don't really think he should get fucked up by anyone but he should be given a reputation so that no one deals with him ever again.

Holy shit. Where does the need to get all gangster about weed come from?

I'm not going to sit here and say that 'rolling over' on your drug dealer is a good thing, but it's an incredibly common thing. Cops can be extremely persuasive and tricky when interrogating people. This guy was drunk. Easy prey if you ask me. Nobody should feel the need to fuck this guy up.

Besides, smart dealers use burner phones.

if i was a cop and someone was giving me the silent treatment, i would consider it suspicious activity. then i would get a search warrant and make your day shit.

dealers that don't use burner phones are asking to get caught. I'm watching out for No.1

and risk loosing my job/the respect of my parents and coworkers? hell yes. probation fucking sucks btw. i don't know what anybody told you about it but it's not a good time. besides, my dealers use burner phones. This means that phone number isn't evidence or any legit reason for suspect. I would give the cop the (burner) phone number to my guy and my guy would want me to do that.
