Today I got pulled over for 88 in a 75. The cop got me fair and square, I went to pass this semi, I floored it, flew past the semi and the cop was in front...
he pulls me over, gets me for having my plate in the front window (again, indisputably guilty) and asks to search the car...I give him a little bit of shit, but eventually let him do it.
he finds my hatchet (between driver seat and console) immediately, and calls in another officer...who took a half hour to show up...he pretty much just watched as the cop rifles through my car, and doesn't find anything. I picked up that the cop was VERY new to the job, he ducked the question when I asked how long he'd been a cop, but told me he'd only worked for this city.
he found-
fireworks
a few loose store-brand Tylenol that were probably in the car when I bought it (kinda sketchy lookin pills, said G-127 or something on the front)
an empty pack of blunt wraps
which was apparently enough to call in a drug dog
the drug dog handler took 15 minutes to show up, at this point I'd been on the side of the road for 45 minutes
the dog handler probably had more years on the job then the other 2 cops had been alive, and he knew immediatly that they wouldn't find anything, but he led the dog through the car anyways. they pulled all my tools out of the trunk, led the dog through the interior, up into the trunk, pulled out the spare tire and took the damn thing apart.
the dog hit on 3 places, but they found nothing.
by now the call on the 3 pills had come back, wal-mart brand Tylenol. we'd been on the side of the road for an hour and a half, and they decided to quit wasting everyones time.
they let me off for the 13 over, the plate, and he let me keep my fireworks, but made me destroy the Tylenol (?)
tl;dr hide your shit under the hood, and if you aren't rolling dirty, get searched and they might let you off.
