that guy had some bad luck, first a deer happens to jump out in front of his car the day he has 23lbs of weed in it and as if that is not bad enough a cop happens to be in earshot of the accident when it occurs.

Headso: that guy had some bad luck, first a deer happens to jump out in front of his car the day he has 23lbs of weed in it and as if that is not bad enough a cop happens to be in earshot of the accident when it occurs.

and then the cop has to decide to harass the dude that hit a deer. i'm pretty sure there's no law that one has to stop after hitting wildlife.

/not a park ranger

I love the herb as much as anybody, but do the mods have some sort of New Year's resolution to greenlight at least three weed threads a day or something?

In other news, the guy to whom the trooper was about to give a ticket wound up having a fantastic day.

They forgot about the first two.

Why would you stop after hitting a deer? I mean, if your car still runs, that is. What, are you going to get his insurance information? Give him first aid? Facepunch him for hitting you? Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot you're going to do. Just keep going and don't cause any secondary accidents.

These undercover deer are unconstitutional.

A ticket for what? Littering? Failure to stop and render aid?

It was a f*cking deer. I'll give the cop the benefit of the doubt and assume this was after dark and maybe the deer took out his headlights or something but unless there is some law I'm not aware of I can't imagine what Officer Barbrady was planning on doing when he took off after the guy.

I'll give 10:1 odds that the guy was screwed by his own ignorance of his 4th amendment rights. He most likely answered "uhh, sure" to the officer's "is it cool if I take a look inside your vehicle bro?"

If the driver was actually clearly high while driving, he may have had probable cause to do the search but hitting a deer and not inspecting for damage is not a crime.

you are a puppet: Further investigation during the stop revealed the driver had 232.3 pounds of marijuana in his trunk, worth about $57,000 $300,000,000,000,000,000,000 $∞, troopers said.

Funny, since he had over 100 lbs of weed when he left the farm.

Probably to make sure the driver was ok and not too rattled to drive safely.

So that means he was actually hauling 60 lbs of weed, right?

Plenty of time to do all that when you get where you're going. If it's bad enough that you can't keep driving, then sure, stop. Otherwise, what are you going to do, break out the bondo on the side of the road? It ain't likely to get any more broke. This is assuming a minor hit like the one described in the article and not where your wheels are clunking like they're square or you're leaving a trail of sparks or something - I mean, you have to use a little discretion, for cryin' out loud. Maybe I'm just jaded because hitting deer is a regular occurrence out where I live. My car's 3 different colors right now from those giant jumping rats.

I hit 2 in the last year. I always get out and look. If only to scream at the woods that the bastard ran off into. "I hope you die you asshole! Fark!"

If it hasn't happened to you it's hard to imagine those bastards actually running into your car on purpose... but they do. Bastards. A stag in rut is like a car seeking missle.

Louis CK also hates deer. NSFW language

My most recent encounter with one of these vermin was him jumping into the passenger door of my car while I was doing 60 on the highway. Just jumped right the fark into me. Unfortunately, he lived. I wish they'd let people hunt the deer in this area. They're thick as flies on shiat around here.

They see me rollin'

Holy shiat. They actually said it is worth $150 an ounce. I think we are seeing history here folks.

Cops are criminals hiding behind a badge.

40 lbs of rape??

or 40 lbs of pot..

one will get you thrown in jail.

rape

Cop math aside,

23 lb x 16 oz/lb = 368 oz

$57000/ 368 oz = 154.90 / oz

1 oz = ~ 28 gm

154/28 = $5.5 / gm

? ditch weed?

Thankfully, another violent and dangerous criminal is off the streets now.

I know, right? Must have been an inexperienced cop to give a reasonable street price for the amount of weed they found.

I think they ought to keep it illegal just so we keep getting mugshots like this.

Oh yeah, what will the cops do with the 20lbs of marijuana?

Exactly my rationale when we were towing the rallycross car to Tulsa this October. Halfway through Missouri, pitch black, maybe 3am, a deer jumps out at the truck. We figure he was trying to run across the road right after the truck passed by. The deer got it exactly right, too bad he didn't see the trailer.

The deer took out the tire carrier, spewed thick goopy blood everywhere, and bounced off of the car, mangling the driver's door in the process.

My thoughts, after OH FARK A DEER *thump* : Well, I don't see any smoke or hear any scraping noises, so we're not going to blow a tire. We'll see what the deer did at the next fuel stop.

We weren't exactly in a position to stop anyway as our tow rig was woefully underpowered for driving through the non-flat land. And what were we supposed to do, shoot the deer? We didn't have any firearms. I suppose we could have doubled back and tried to beat an angry, scared wild animal to death with a 1' long hammer, but that sounds like the first step towards being a FARK headline...

MagSeven: Oh yeah, what will the cops do with the 20lbs of marijuana?

They will completely destroy that 10 lbs of marijuana in a safe fashion.

because they need to be posted...

Maybe if you live in state with crappy prices. $150-200 is the going price for an ounce of mids around here(Omaha).

That's because the mids in Omaha is ditch weed.

Actually, all five lbs. will be presented as states evidence first.

I just realized that I completely misunderstood thamike's post I quoted earlier, rendering my entire post nonsensical. The latter is par for the course but it seems my comprehension could use some work.
