Yeah but they were telepathically telling him what colors they were through the patterns of their vibrations, which isn't very helpful when it comes to driving.

Seriously folks, keep it in your trunk and keep you mouth shut. Take the ticket and move on!

The cops can't search your car at ALL for a traffic stop. I bet the shiat gets thrown out.

I'll admit, when I was younger I did the same thing, consented to a search by the Texas State Trooper. I was moving to college and the car was packed to roof with stuff. That and the CA plates made him think I was a target. I consented but he could really search it since it was so packed. He let me go, but not after asking, "Do you have an drugs? I don't care if you have a little, do you have a little? Do you have any weapons?"

I responded, "I have my Eagle Scout knife on my key chain."

I got a warning and let go.

But seriously, people have so much more protection now. More than before.

Still, Gah!

They can in my state. Hell, they can *arrest* you for a traffic stop if you even have your seatbelt off. Farked? Yeeeeeah.

At any rate, I have no clue how folks like in this article still exist. It's just a ridiculous amount of stupid. It's like a bankrobber handing ever witness a photocopy of his driver's license.

They may be able to arrest you for not having a seat belt on but they can't legally search your car with out your consent.

In California, being pulled over for any valid reason, such as a license plate light out, constitutes probable cause, and the police may search your vehicle without consent.

Yesterday my uncle, who is a lawyer, told me you can't get away with the "no, my trunk is locked and you don't have a search warrant" thing anymore. Apparently now they do "safety checks" that you can't say no to. Not sure if this is only in certain states, seems legally questionable, but maybe they are getting away with it for a while until the courts shoot it down.

/but yet, obey traffic laws when you are holding

See what ultimately turned me off of shrooms was the insomnia. The trip would be over, good time had by all, done seeing everything wither to old age while simultaneously receding into the past; but dammit, I'm tired, want to sleep, gotta go to work in 3 hours (we did them on Sundays for some dumb reason.) But alas, no such luck, slumber would not come.

/although, one of the first times I did shrooms I went to sleep 20 minutes later. All night I would wake up periodically, stare at a spider on my wall, and suddenly be the spider staring back; very, very, Zhuangzi.

Necrosis and CaptSacto

Ya'll should really keep track of the supreme court's rulings. As of this year, a police officer cannot search your the cabin of your vehicle incident to an arrest unless the search would likely produce evidence relating to the crime for which you were arrested.

Example: You are arrested for drunk driving. The police can search your car (no trunk) for evidence relating to the arrest. So they can search it for more booze, if the find weed and a gun, well it sucks to be you. They cannot search your trunk unless they have a warrant.

If you are arrested to failure to wear a seatbelt the police may not search the cabin of your car because it would not produce any evidence relating to your arrest. The lack of wearing a seat belt is the only evidence they need and therefor have no need to search your vehicle

If you are arrested and your car is impounded, the police may search your car as part of an inventory of the contents of the car to protect those at the impound lot from any dangerous items in the car.

All of this goes out the window if the police present probable cause to a judge and specify the items they intend to look for in the vehicle.

 
Corydon 2009-07-02 11:29:54 PM  
Why oh why are shrooms illegal? When was the last time you heard of a shroom addict breaking in to a house to get money for a fix? Or weirding out and attacking someone? I've seen a few bad trips, but people having them seem to turn more inward rather than lashing out.

Honestly, the worst thing they do is sit at the back of the theater watching Coraline and giggle at everything. If we're going to start locking people up for being annoying, why can't we start with the Jehovah's Witnesses at my door instead?

Hell, they're not addictive, they don't even give you a hangover. They don't give you cancer. You just sleep well and wake up feeling really good about the world.

Seriously, is there any explanation for why they're illegal? They've always struck me as completely harmless.

Well, doing them on Sunday night is part of your problem. You do have to plan these things out in advance a bit.

And I generally find that once everything stops moving, then I'm pretty much ready to crash. Moreover, I don't really need much sleep to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to hit the next day. I guess I just get all of my REM dreaming out of the way while I'm tripping.

Cause they can't arrest you for something you don't have!

But I know people will continue to transport drugs and gripe & moan about how being arrested for narcotics possession is a violation of their rights. Boo-hoo-hoo.

Then, my dear, you will be arrested for other things besides possession. At least, drug possession. DEMON possession, I can't help you with.

let's see, back in '90 an ounce of mushrooms cost me $35. 16 ounces in a pound. 16 x 35 = 560
$560 a lb x 60 lbs = $33,600. retail.

meh, ain't much of a bust really.

Did they put bricks in with the shrooms? I've eaten my fair share of them but, alas, I don't think even I have eaten sixty pounds worth. Hell, I still have an ounce and a half left in my freezer.

Why yes, yes I do plan on having a good 4th of July.
