Pennsylvania State Police say they found 20 pounds of marijuana in boxes wrapped as Christmas presents inside a minivan after a traffic stop.
The Centre Daily Times reports ( http://bit.ly/1j4exXu ) that 38-year-old Randy Jesus Valdivia, of Surfside, Fla., faces felony drug charges after the stop on Interstate 80 near State College.
Police say they became suspicious after Valdivia was stopped Thursday afternoon, and got him to agree to a search.
They say they found 20 pounds of weed vacuum-sealed inside large boxes wrapped as Christmas gifts.
Online court records say he was taken to the local jail. A defense lawyer wasn't listed.

It's funny, friend of mine recently got pulled over with expired tags & had an ounce of grass in his passenger seat inside of a Chrimstmas present style bag

I've always thought this would be a smart idea. Not a shit ton of weed, but like a few grams of weed in a little Christmas box? What cop is gonna say "m'am I'm gonna need you to unwrap those presents" If it doesn't smell like weed, what right do they have to be suspicious?

lol i'm just saying, obviously it's illegal to have pounds of weed in your car... but if there wasn't any evidence that gave his plan away, why surrender? I'd be like no bitches, ya'll aren't searching my car!

Probably didn't want to arouse any more suspicion, but that would have been the wiser option in his situation that's for sure. Haha

he had 20 pounds of weed, He was screwed from the beginning. I feel like there had to be some kind of smell or he was acting weird around the cop that pulled him over... something to make the police want to search his car. Hell I get anxious with 2 grams in my car.

Sure, you can say no, but then they will just bring a dog to you. It's ok if you don't have shit, but if your car smells and you have bud, you're done.

I agree with PsYcHoDoUgHbOy. Just saying no doesn't always work. If you have passengers with you, saying no usually works. But if you're alone, they'll do whst they want.

Always say no. I have only had a k9 called in once after refusing a search.
That was only because I was young, dumb, and gave the cop the bird before he pulled me over.
cops usually get all :cranky: when you refuse, even politely. I just tell em I have bad exp. with five oh breaking my shit and me unable to do anything about it.
you are only Fucked when they :i:inform:/i: you that they smelled weed and that gives them probable cause.
And never assume they won't tear shit up lookin for bud.

People are idiots. Never consent to a search 
Sure, they MIGHT call the dogs in, but don't gift wrap the conviction for them.

If the dog is busy or far away, you will get off in court. Also the dogs are sometimes tired or just don't find the stuff.
Never consent to a search. It can never help you, consenting can only hurt you. And it's a bad use of your time.

Only if it is in transit. That would not help if the mail was in your car.

Yeah, wtf is wrong with people? Why was this guy so scared in the first place if it was just a regular traffic stop? I think people are stupid and no way would I ever consent to a search.

Cops can be big dicks when people say no to searches. They will literally waste your time for as long as possible until either they get a k9 or you tell them you're calling your lawyer. Nothing tends makes a cop more nervous than this and asking for his badge number.
the trick is not to carry large amounts of weed on you in the first place. whenever I, personally, go out with weed I bring a joint or two and keep them right in my front chest pocket or in a cup-holder. This way, if I ever do get pulled over, I can just eat them really quick and not worry about a thing.

You don't deny a consent to a search because you think that you will get out of going to jail. You deny so that there is the possibility that they fuck up enough to fight it in court.
If you get pulled over with quantities, there is a good chance you are getting caught. You can only try and set up the situation the best you can.
The number one rule is: DO NOT GET PULLED OVER.

Every time I have ever said no to a search (approx 7 times), the cops were professional and polite and said "ok, have a nice evening". Saved me time, aggravation and criminal charges.

regular traffic stops don't seem like a reason to search, but don't get pulled over in the first place.
if trafficking mass quantities, or even small quantities of shrooms for example, just take public transit! Especially if you deal a lot just get used to the public transit system and always pay your fare/have a pass
