So I went up to the store and noticed across the street in a parking lot was 2 cops sitting facing the store.They were out of there car with some kinda camara pointed at the window,so I walked in the store and the gas station atendant leaned over the counter and wishpered "Hey,don't get a blunt wrap or ciggerelo they are wacthing pepole and taking down there tags."she siad softly.Well why I asked."Becuase pepole have been dealing up here so know they are wacthing the store."

Is this legel for them to do?

Yes, I would guess that it is perfectly legal for them to do that. It would be just as legal for you or anyone else to do it also. All they are doing is taking pictures in public and writing down publicly available information (license plate numbers).

Now what would be illegal would be for them to search someone's house simply because he or she bought a ciggerelo or wrap. However, what they might do is start watching the person more carefully, etc. in order to eventually build up enough evidence for a search warrant.

I have a feeling they would be going for people who buy like 30 blunt wraps at a time though; they're probably looking for people who are "manufacturing for sale".

fuck cops

Actually, I really appreciate cops. They are some dedicated mofo's who put their lives on the line to keep the peace. The violent crimes they help solve and prevent are what keeps order in society.

I say fuck the drug laws, and fuck the representatives our country has elected that passed them... and fuck the idiots who voted for those people. The cops are not the bad guys. Think of them like Barney Fife... well intentioned, do a lot of good, try to do a good job, but not usually the sharpest tacks if you know what I mean. I can't really blame the cops, even though sometimes I want to.

Of course there are some corrupt cops... and yes, ... fuck them.

I dont agree fuck cops. Your a fool to enforce the fascist laws our ignorant nation comes up with.

You could not be more wrong if you think the way to change the laws in this country is to just say "fuck you" to everyone who disagrees with you about those laws. That is how you ensure cannabis never, ever gets legalized. So I guess I take back even saying "fuck the congress" and all that. The only way to change hearts and minds is to actually discuss the issues with the people who disagree with you. Let them know you are civilized, kind, gentle, and thoughtful... convince them by speaking about the facts (which are in our favor), not by insulting their very personalities... because when you do that to them you lose all credibility in their eyes.

Believe it or not there are good people who have been deceived by public campaigns into thinking cannabis is terribly bad.

Most of the country, sadly, does not want marijuana totally and completely legalized. The people making headway in the battle for legalization are not the people with your attitude, they are the people who are calmly and collectively working for change.

My brother in law is A.T.F and was a cop first.My sister works for the police.With that being said Fuck all of them!There are a few that deal with murder and extreme violent crimes but most just pull people over play god and love busting people.My sister always speeds and gets pulled over, they see its her and they say oh its you, see you at work.My brother in law A.T.F loves to kick doors down and shot your house dog.Both the members in my family talk shit about others in our family because they smoke and say they would bust them given the chance.Both law enforcement members of my family take prescription pain killers to get high fuck them hypocrites!Sorry about the rant F.T.P!

amen brotha....ill say it again....FUCK THA POLICE!

actually i'll give you insight into this subject cuz i worked at a convenience store for a while.....every cop i knew that went in there actually told us to keep an eye out for ANY person buying wraps (im no snitch) but one kid i didnt care for might have gotten busted and the only reason for suspicion was the blunt wrap....i hide em with my weed...

There is something much more going on there than you know. You need to go to another gas station around town or order them confidentially online from another source. There is much more going on there. Police are trained in academies to believe that marijuana is a gateway drug. They may also be stealing people's stuff to smoke. Honestly though there is something wrong there. I am assuming you live in a small town and that maybe your only source for papers but it is not worth the trouble. My best advice - do not go back and find another route. I assume you got it anyways and left. Well now they are watching you. Yes they can do that but they cannot harass you. Unfortunately if there is a reason for them to be suspicious then as long as they stay within their jurisdiction they can make a big deal out of it. Do not give them a reason to.

The only reasons *most* of the laws are on the books somebody actually did it with the resultant loss of life, limb and/or property because somebody was too stoopid or ignorant to use a little common sense. Cops are out there to do a job. They have families to raise and feed, same as any other responsible adult. Maybe I am seeing things wrong here, but it seems to me that the ones that dis the cops and whine about it when they get busted for doing stoopid stuff are kids..... just kids. Funny thing, that.... as the kids grow up and become responsible adults, and live under their own roof, they develope a much different attitude.

BTW... before any of the kids on here try to jack me up, just hold on to those thought until your 50+ years of age, and have some lifes experiences under your belt, then come talk to me.

Steve your words are full of incite, and wise! Applause Applause! Great post, couldn't rep you for it but excellent.

who cares if they are watching, get your swisher or two or three (or whatever kinda wrap you perfer to use, just get a couple and light one once you get out. cigarellos are for more than breaking down and re rolling. and if there are cops dont argue about a stale blunt.... that just makes it obviouse.... lol I hope they arnt on to you, probly just being paranoid... but i would not give them a chance to bust you, and stay below the radar.

I am totally surprised this thread wasn't closed for asthetics... A victory for free speech? surely, it can't be


Anyway, because insane people do insane things for insane reasons, we need some type of protection from violent persons or thieves etc. Self-policing communities are cool, but difficult to organize... So police are a necessity, even all the little things like ticketing people driving dangerously and helping at vehicle accidents, keeping drunks off the roads, etc. Sheep-po are the ones that make life harder than it should be. Ones that are just mindlessly obedient to laws that are based on corruption or racism instead of logic and continue to enforce things like simple possesion on college kids and whatnot, continually waste tax money and ruin the lives of non-violent people while they could be doing real police work.

Groups like LEAP (law enforcent against prohibition) prove that there are some educated officers around. Education is the solution; ignorance just breeds hatred and violence

this happend to a friend of mine here in ct but he baught papers,and cops pulled him over searched and found a gram and the papers n got him for possesion and parafanilia 'yes bad spelling i know" all of that just because he baught rolling papers now thats fricked up..

When I goto my local Headshop I park 5 blocks away and walk there. Cops sit across the street all the time just chilling and staring at the place. 3 Of my friends growing up (all brothers) became cops like there Dad was. They were also some of the coolest herb smokers, I actually first smoked with the eldest brother who has been a cop for around 7 years now and got shot in the head in the line of duty and lived to tell about it(and is STILL a cop, decorated now to). There will be ignorant assholes in every profession and sadly Pot is still illegal so they have to do there job.

I'll 2nd this.

There are two types of cops. Those who have been corrupted and those still yet unturned whom became cops to make a difference and make the world a better place. Most of them are dirty, you can't play in the mud and not get dirty. Bottom line to them, #1 money/it's a job, #2 they're one against so many, #3 dirty cops wont hesitate to kill a "good cop" / snitch.

Get with the program.

gods honest truth, i would have purchased my blunt wrap then walked right on over to the cops across the street and gotten all in their business, politely of course.

"hey what you guys doin"?

"the clerk told me you guys were watching people buy bluntwraps and recording it even though its legal."

"why are you observing people purchasing legal items, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR EASY EXCUSES TO HARASS PEOPLE?" (yes i would def say this to them)

"you know the owner really appreciates you hurting their business."

"what do you guys do with the numbers you write down? do you put a note in the computer that they might smoke weed so the next person who pulls them over can have a heads up to search their car on a fishing expedition?"

basically id make it very clear that i, nor the patrons of the gas station appreciate the scrutiny, when nothing illegal has happened. and that well get just as in_their-face as they get in ours, and well make them feel as uncomfortable as they are making us feel.

the desired result being that the cops realize they aren't fooling anyone and leave and stop giving people anxiety for NO FUCKING REASON!!!

WRONG, THEY DON'T HAVE TO ENFORCE THE LAW!!! they are human circuit breakers, they have the right to never arrest a stoner, but they all will because their superiors tell them to because it makes so much money.

the fact that the dude use to smoke weed but arrests people for it now makes me hate him more than a normal cop, thats literally the worst type of cop, a totally self-justifying hypocrite. someone who lets the paycheck get in the way of being a decent human being is horrible, when that person is a cop who's very job is to protect the people from thugs and extorter's, its a fucking cancer on society.

Sit outside and observe them. Its leagle and your right as a concerned citizen of a police watchdog group.

and you'd end up in jail on a bs disorderly conduct charge

Sorry sport, but your incorrect here. They take an oath when they join the force to enforce and uphold the laws of <insert City/County/Country>.
You really need to get a handle on your anger issues.... or is that because you put yourself in a position where somebody had to *DO* something about it??? When your grown and become a responsible adult, you'll look at things a bit differently.

Principles of Responsible Cannabis Use

not if im not being disorderly, and im recording everything with my cellphone or my buddy standing next to me is.

your allowed to talk to cops, you just cant keep talking to them after they ask you to stop cause its distracting or something.

i would stay just on the edge of legality, "i didn't pass the bar but i know a little bit"; i worked at a law firm that specialized in civil rights violations.

i see it as the responsibility of people like myself who are very comfortable with the law to defend the people who are not from overzealous cops.

like i said i would just try to slyly convey to the cops that they weren't fooling anyone and to try to get them to realize its futile and possibly illegal (if they are literally recording plates) and to simply leave, i hate it when cops are at the convenience store it blows my buzz.

and to mississippi steve: don't defend a hypocrite cop just cause hes your friend. your basically saying that "its ok to be a hypocrite if its part of your job" and "its ok to arrest people just cause thats the law".

wrong on both accounts. if it was ok to arrest people just cause its the law then would you defend the cops who arrested civil right demonstrators in the 60's 'cause they were black? do you defend the Nazis that killed Jews cause it was "part of their job"?
