Thank god i got off but it hassled the shit out of me. Heres what happened.

I was leaving my spot after picking some fresh sample nugs off some branches on one of my outdoor plots. I put them in my backpack, threw it in the trunk and got in my car. Just as i was backing out i saw a cop pulling into the parking lot. (Its a remote parking at a train station in the middle of the woods.) So i drove past him and i saw him turn around and he was right on my ass. I had the windows rolled down in my small car and it didnt stink really because it was nicely aired out. So i get like 4 mins down the road and i see lights. im like FUCK. He pulls me over and come to my window...

He said he pulled me over because my tag lights were out. ok. He asked me what i was doing in that random lot at the time. I had a book on the seat next to me, showed it to him and said i as reading on this gorgeous day. Ok. So he asked me if i was stoned or if i had been drinking. I was neither, so i said no. He asked me for my license and registration, so i gave him both. He went back to his car.

Everything was going alright, i dont think he smelled the weed. But he was in his car for about 5 mins, which was enough time for the weed to seep through the seats and fill up my small car. When he came back he gave me my repair ticket for my tags lights for be fixed. Though i was home free.

Then he said "ok thats that, Now what about this marijuana im smelling. Did you just burn something or have any marijuana on you?"

No i do not have any of that stuff in the car.

"Ok so its alright if i search it then?"

No its not alright.

"Please step out of the car."

So i rolled all my windows up, locked the doors, stepped out and shut the door behind me. (*** This is what saved my ass, EVERYONE must do this if they are ever in a situation like this)

So he asks "Do you have any drugs knifes or weapons on you?"

I said no, he asked if he could search me, i said no.

"Do you think this is a game? I smell marijuana"

I dont have any on me.

Then he goes to the drivers door and tries to open it, locked.. Then same with the passenger, locked. Then he spends about 4 minutes with his flashlight shining it through my windows and evrywhere around my car. and BTW every since he asked me if i had weed i was scared as FUCK. I felt like i was shaking and everything. But i stood firm like a rock, didnt shake, didnt mumble my woods. Looked straight into his eyes with everything i had to say.

SO at this point he comes over...

"I see marijuana in the car, give me your keys"

I said i wasnt giving him my keys.

He said again, this isnt a joke. im not stupid. i smell weed and i see weed in your car.

I know the weeds in the trunk and there is nothing visible to him. So i say, show me where the weed is and i will get it and give it to you to look at. He said no that he was going to get it. I said once again, "im not giving you my keys and you are not going in my car without a warrant or calling the drug dogs." then said "show me where the marijuana is"

He showed me with his flashlight on my seat some like fuzz shit from my pockets. I was like im not giving you my keys to search for some pocket fuzz. (At this point the officer was getting mad) He started raising his voice. "GIVE me your keys now! What pocket are then in??" Hes getting pissed, hes slamming his flashlight on his hood and throwing the ticket book down with it. He was really intimidating, but there was no fucking way i was going to just let him in my car. I thought i was going to get busted, but i was not going to give in consent to enter, i would have waiting until drug dogs came.

He told me to lift up my shirt, so i did. He hit my pockets and felt my keys in there and proceeded to go in there. I took a step back and he was gabbing my shirt asking where i was going. I said once again, you cannot have my keys nor go in my car without a warrant or getting the drug dogs here.

He said "I smelled weed, i can enter the car on that alone. If you dont give me your keys i will tackle you to the ground, handcuff you and take them from you. We are in the middle of no where"

I said "middle of no where? whats that supposed to mean, is that a threat?"

He kept saying over and over "This is not a game! you obviously have something in the car, now give me the keys. Im not stupid i can smell it" I just kept resisting.

For a good 7 minutes this went on back and forth. Him asking and demanding me for my keys, and me telling him to show me a warrant or call the drug dogs. He said he didnt want to wait all night for the drug dogs blah blah. I was SCARED. 7 minutes felt like HOURS to me.

He finally said, "OK your free to go, im calling the drug dogs" which didnt make any sense to me, i thought he was just telling me i could go then he was going to jump in the car. And i also didnt want him anywhere near the car because i knew when i opened it mad weed was going to smell out. So i walked toward his car, he kind of followed. I said "are you calling the drug dogs or can i go?" He said i can go but hes calling the drug dogs. Then as i was stepping into my car he got on his radio and said some stuff, but i didnt hear, as i was already in my car. I drove off thinking im FREE! Then he was right on my ass. followed me to 10 minutes then turned away.

I got so lucky. But im so proud of myself for how i handled the situation. Woo.

I watched a youtube video on how to act when u get pulled over by the police. I found it on this site. It helped me alot and i basically followed everything it told me to do. I will try and find a link and post it.

Anyway everyone stay safe and never allow them to go in your car.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOO

Just a thought.............. Is your spot Way off the beaten path?? If not, be VERY careful when going back. And be prepared for it to be gone. They may have gone back to find your grow.

Good story, they will break any laws they need to in order to screw you over. I have never let a cop search my cars, even when I have nothing in there to worry about. My usual response is: "Lets go to you're car, and you let me rifle through that , than you can rifle through mine" Cops don't enter any of my property without a warrant, never, ever.

You did everything perfectly! Nicely done! It's very hard to stand strong and not fold under the pressure.
As other people were saying, going back to that spot is very risky. If you have an alternate route(sneaky) I would use that. Jet be carefull! The officer has his eye on you( not to sound creepy) so watch yourself.

Again,nice job. I started getting nervous while reading that!

Let us know what happens in the future

GOOD SHIT!

The reason he told you " im calling the dogs, you are free to go" is because if you are not being detained for any reason, then you are in fact allowed to leave. Most times they just say "im calling the dogs" and people assume that they must wait for them.

This is true.. very true. Especially the rookies.. they automatically think, "Hell yeah, look at me... I'm a cop. Check me out! Look at me! I'm the law.. and I can do what the fuck I want!", Unfortunately.. no...no you cannot. My father is a well known and respected judge in the court of law... and because of that.. I have really come to learn my rights.. as well as the laws. Past and current. ;)

But yeah some people that make it onto the force.. really shouldn't be there to begin with IMO. Have you guys noticed the uproar in police brutality against people in California? Seems like it all comes from that area of the United States.

Excellent example to stand up for your rights without getting stupid about it.
Now get another car with different plates as I am sure your vehicle is on his shit list, and he may give copies of that list to other officers.
