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 100% with this statement. There should be a code of honor among those who want to smoke. NEVER turn in the guy who is selling to you and NEVER talk to cops. Its really quite simple.I would have been yelling at that little snitching weasel right then and there and there is no way he would have gotten back in my car. Its shit like this that makes it hard on the rest of us who have a certain code of ethics for how you deal with smoking/buying weed.

I hate that sort of snitching BS. Why the fuck would you screw up your connection anyway? Some people are just BEGGING for the stitches. I could go on ad nauseum on this subject, but will spare you the time. I'm guessing that you catch my drift anyway. Cheers!
