Damn, sorry to hear about it. I've been there too, tripping while cops searched the car but somehow didn't find the 100 hits under the back seat, still arrested tho. You'll get through it!
Was it close to the show? The reason I ask is at the Jerry Garcia b'day bash, the Maryland state police setup a "special efforts checkpoint" targeting festival goers. This is an unconstitutional practice and a class action suit has been brought in Garrett county Maryland. Three cars and 6 cops makes me wonder if you might have been targetted illegally. I hope so...

When my girl and I were driving back from Miami after the New Year, we saw massive speed traps set up all over the length of the Interstate from the time left Florida until we hit Tennessee. About every 60 - 80 miles there were at least 4-5 cars on either side of the interstate usually with multiple people pulled over. We did not speed, we did not smoke, we did not stray from the Interstate except to hit a truck stop for some gas.

This story makes me pretty angry. What happened to you is one of my worst nightmares. I had a close brush with a cop recently. It could have gotten ugly but I was lucky enough to get away with just a speeding ticket. And no, I was not drinking.
Best of luck to you. I'd fight that shit if I were you.

As much i hate to admit this, my view on cops has changed dramatically over the last week. Last wednesday my truck was stolen from in front of my work. The cops were kool that night. Took the report and shit. Noting all that impressive. But that morning, i work graveyard, i went out on a road by town known for getting stolen cars dumped on in. Well i didnt find it, but on my way back i was almost in town when i passed my truck going the opposite direction. Of course i flipped a bitch real quick and got on my cell to the police dispatch. The mother fuckers pulled the truck over because i had gotten right on their and they got out of the car, one male (driving) and one female (passenger). We had a little confrontation and they ran seperate ways. The cops got their within minuets. Brought out the dogs and were able to track one of the people down, and are like 95% sure they're going to find the female. The whole time im standing around these cops, theyre were prolly about 15 cars all together, i was wearing a t shirt with huge white letters that said BONG!! They didnt say a thing about it. So say what you want about them but remember that if you actually may need them one day, they will be there to help you.

Police have a rather good purpose. I am pro law enforcement as its not the cops job to enact the laws as he or she sees fit. Currently, stealing cars is illegal, just like smoking pot. THis is why I have no sympathy for drug users who get caught. Yeah, it sucks, but you still knowingly broke the law and got caught.

Vulture, I'm sorry. That really licks. I've definitley been searched illegally before and I felt totally violated. I also got arrested at a Widepread Panic show once IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING SHOW and had to spend the night in jail. I was treated like complete shit. They wouldn't even let me use the bathroom so I had to pee in the middle of the cell like a dog. It was awful. I feel for you, bro.

Sucky story man...jesus. It's one thing for police to uphold the law, it's another for them to be assholes and cocky while abusing their power. One thing you said, "I had told them that i smoked at the show around 10 (big mistake) that when they slapped the cuffs on and said i was going to jail for a DUI! I just laughed in there face and was like "DUI WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I WASENT DRINKING!"" Just to clarify DUI is driving under the influence, it's not necissarily driving "drunk". How are your parents handling it? Also, not to sound like an old timer, but really...why were you driving when messed up? If you don't care about yourself enough, then at least care about my family who might be out on the road with you. No matter how "straight" you feel, remember you are reacting at a slower speed and driving in less control. I definately agree that cops abuse their power sometimes, but just remember that many of them are doing their job honestly. We cannot put blanket statements on a segment of people just because our personal encounters with them have been bad. Of course a drug-users view of a police man is going to be bad, as most encounters with police are on the bad end of a drug bust/etc. Just remember, cops are people also like you and me. Some are bad, yes...many may be. But many are good as well.
