Re: How to avoid getting caught while picking [Re: Mr. Benson]

I've never been booked, but years ago when I still harvested actives I had some VERY close calls. Every time was my fault. One was speeding out of a state park with pounds of azzies in the back of my car. Another was losing my keys in the dunes and having to spend the night camped illegally, again with azzies in the back. The cop I spoke to then gave me the greenlight to spend the night there, but not before shining a flashlight into the back of my car where a whole lot of azzies where printing on foil, fully visible. He raised an eyebrow but he was either the chillest cop ever or didn't know what he was seeing.

Here is my advice: Don't try to run or hide. Don't try to conceal what it is you are doing. Don't ditch your bag if cops approach you. Remember that you have a right NOT to answer their questions, and depending on the jurisdiction you may NOT be required to submit to a search of your person or belongings. Be cordial if you think they're just observing. At this stage you have an opportunity to bore them with tedious mushroom facts (keep it abstract, unrelated to psilocybin, unrelated to what is in your basket, truthful, and most importantly, BORING) and really sell the story that you are a mycology enthusiast out picking yet unidentified mushrooms (which should be the ONLY story you tell). AS SOON as you have reason to suspect you are going to be detained, questioned as a suspect, or arrested, it is time to SHUT THE FUCK UP until you get to talk to a lawyer. If they read you your miranda rights, they will probably ask you if you've understood them after. You do NOT need to answer this question. I suggest answering in the negative (if you can do so with sincerity, if it appears cheeky your better of just not answering). They are supposed to get you on record saying you understand your rights before interrogating you, and if they fail to do so then that will make your lawyers jobs a whole lot easier. Not to mention that whatever comes after this step CANNOT be any more pleasant then their attempts to coax out a "yes" (lots of people break under interrogation). This goes for all police encounters really. Just don't be disingenuous or you risk "obstructing justice". Chances are, you genuinely don't have a full understanding of your rights after they are read to you out loud, so I am NOT encouraging you to lie to a police officer here.

Don't resist arrest and definitly don't resist an illegal search, but if they DO search you illegally and you keep your mouth shut from then on, you have a decent shot at getting the case thrown out.

There is always the black sheep maneuver but instead of bees you scream "STAND BACK I'M A MYCOLOGIST AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAR THESE THINGS ARE SPOROLATING! YOU DO NOT WANT TO BREATHE THIS IN!"

If that doesn't work.. pocket sand and run!
