[BUSTED] on the way home from the Dead show!
#3038894 - 08/23/04 08:54 AM (19 years, 5 months ago) |

well i made it to the show. Had JUST enough money for 2 tickets, food, water, and 6 doses. Me and my friend matt split them...they were the beige hits...i herd they were real so i decided i would try them. They were kinda weak but they were definatly real....i tripped nuts The show was fucking great and everything went as planned.
cept for the ride home.
i took the cid around 5pm and i got pulled over aroun 2am. It was about 50 miles from home. Normally i wouldent have drivin yet but i was pretty strait to drive...my head was still kinda fucked up but other than that things were great.
So i got pulled by 3 cop cars with 2 cops in each car. FOR A FUCKING TAILIGHT! Anyway...so they bombard me with qurestions confusing the fuck out of me...im all spaced out like wtf is going on...i let them search the car and do wahtever they wanted cause i didnt have shit and i didnt feel like arguing. They were pissed that they didnt find anything cause we reaked. They threatned to strip search me. They took my friends bowl and gave me my rolling papers back.
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!"
In the meantime they let my freind go a the office and took a bunch of blood from me (that was fucking wierd cause i was still kinda high off the cid). I sat in a fucking 58 degree holding cell with nothign to cover up with laying on a stainless steel bench for 12 HOURS!
The reason i havent posted anything earlier is because this is the first chance ive had to get on a computer. My dad had to go pawn my computer to get me out on a 700 bail. They also took my licence and said it would be suspended and i probably would not get it back in actober (my court date)
These guys were the biggest fucking assholes id ever seen...they thought it was funny...making joke and laughing there asses off. UGH! it makes me fucking sick!
and to top it all off my crazy friend all of the sudden came back from california cause the reahab wouldent except him again casue he sneaked out and got some meth. So hes back and that cool...hes my bro and he hasent acted gay since he was back....but him and crystal are pretty much back together and thats kinda hard for me to deal with...at least right now with all this shit happenning..i mean god damn i always get shitted on no metter how much i poay attention to karma and whanot.
I will always keep hope alive and im not changing the way i live jsut because of some bullshit. It makes me want to say fuck it and fuck karma and all that but i know better. I have faith and that faith will not fade away! I WILL ALWAYS SHINE ON!
if you guys have any legal advice i would greatly appreciate it. I know ive already dug myself a ditch but id like to know what to expect and how to react in court. Ive delt with cops around ehre but ive never seen sometthing so rediculas as those GA cops!
I just want you guys to know i love every single one of you....you have always been good to me and helped me out whenever something happens in my life and i appreciate it so much.

That sucks man. I have been there before several times. It will only make you stronger and smarter in the long run little brother.
The only legal advice I can give you is something you already learned. NEVER admit that you have used drugs. Even if they find 20 glass pieces and a box of syringes. If they ask why your eyes are funny or you looked fucked up just say I have been fasting or meditating for 20 days. Or my favorite is to look them straight in the eyes and say "i'm high on Jesus" as you laugh and drool like a madman.

Sorry to hear about all that Vulture. Pigs are usually into making people feel shitty. I know how it feels when they're enjoying and laughing while making an arrest. It feels like you're being raped. I don't have any legal advice for you but I agree with what Chinacat said: somehow this experience will make you a stronger, wiser person.

I don't want to sound like a parent or something like that, but here's what I've learned in my life, NEVER GET IN A CAR STONED!!!! In a car, cops can stop you for no reason at all because you are in a weapon on wheels. You signed a paper, when you got your licence, agreeing to this. Knowing this, my car is a "DRUG FREE ZONE". And I just got pulled over 2 days ago for a speeding ticket, it's a good feeling to know that no matter how much the cop looks, he's not gonna' find any incriminating evidence. Sorry about your bust, just learn from your mistakes and as was mentioned before, remember these 3 words: DENY-DENY-DENY!!!!

Sorry man, but you totally fucked yourself. You never should have let them inside the car, they wouldn't have found the bowl. And you DEFINATLY SHOULD NEVER ADMIT TO BREAKING THE LAW. You went to jail because you TOLD THEM you smoked marijuana. Good luck in court.

dun worry man, theres plenty of times i was ALMOST arrested for speaking the truth... "I'm high" or "yes theres lots of stuff in the car". Sometimes when you think you can't get out of it you just speak the truth and hope they let ya go depending on how the cop is.... unfortunately that wasn't your case. Plus you were on cid, I probably woulda said the same shit.
Well... good luck to ya man. I'm not positive of the consequences of the case, but whatever they are I hope you make it out okay.

Dude!!!! DENY-DENY-DENY Tell em' someone slipped you a mickey unknown to you. Tell em' that you'll never go to a Dead show again cause the audience is crazy. One of those crazy people gave me a drink of Kool Aid and it tasted funny. Tell em' you'd never do an insane drug like acid, and as for the pot, everyone around you was smoking and you musta' got a contact high because you are against pot.

Hey Vulture,
It's a shame that happened to you, but a few things have been said in your post that make me feel you need to rethink your stance on drug use in this society.
1) Cops are the enemy. Plain and simple. They want to take away your freedom. NEVER believe a police officer or what he says, He doesn't care about you as a person, he is just trying to make a bust and go have a few laughs over a beer with his buddies later. You are nothing but a quota to him. I recommend you go to a few civil liberties websites (such as www.aclu.org) and read up on how to deal with cops. I understand you were tripping when the cops arrived and that you may not have been able to field things like you've wanted, but that's another reason to not drive without your wits.
2) Karma won't protect you. There is no universal justice, there is no, "goes around comes around." You could be a great guy, who donates to the poor and plants trees in his spare time, but as soon as you pop a psychoactive mushroom in your mouth, you are a criminal. The police force is a branch of a system of control. They don't care about how much you love your girlfriend, they don't care about your hopes and dreams. You are a social security number to them. The war we are waging, this "war on drugs," is a strictly physical one, to think that prayer or spirits will get the cops off your back in the long run is folly.
Well, I hope all goes well with your trial. Let us know when you get the results of your blood test back. Best of luck. Love in your direction.

ah, another thing that pisses me off about cops is that they ask you a question, and immediately cut you off with another question, JUST AS YOU START TO ANSWER THE FIRST! then they give you a bunch of shit about how it took 4 times for me to answer the question that was asked.. as i try to explain that i tried to answer the first 3 time but was cutoff by another question... he cuts me off again to ask another irrelevant question..AGH!!

but i wouldent be the person i am today if i hadent had the life i have. I am thankful for my life even tho its a bit fucked up. Im thankful its not as fucked up as some peoples also. Im just ready for this shit to stop.
Im going to get another job today and my parents offered to get me an appartment and pay the first 3 months untill i can pay it so i might take them up on that. At least for a year 
there is no telling whats gonna happen next year for the dead 40th anniversary. Ive herd some things and have a good feeling. Supposedly there is going to be so much fluff people arent going to be able to come to the shows because noone is going to be able to see strait. LOL

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.

That sucks man, and sorry to hear that. If your record is pretty clean, then should just fine you, but im not sure. I have a couple of friends who had the same problem here in chicago, and they got let off with some fine and some community service because their record was pretty clean. Good Luck!

Yeah i was there and I heard about a lot of people getting busted, the DEA was manning roadblocks, state police helicopters flew over the fest site, and think there were undercover agents inside too, not busting but spying. Also they were pulling people over when they were going UNDER the limit, and saying they were going over, and that their dogs smelled drugs, that's probable cause now, they don't need warrents andymore. Also, they were confiscating people's money. Maryland cops are some of the worst in the country, hopefully that class action suit wins. Vulture, that sucks man, I hope it all works out for ya.

So cops are good people because they?re "just following orders"? Would you let Hitler?s Nazi henchmen off the hook? They were just following orders.
I?m really sorry Vulture. The Shroomery loves you man. That?s all that matters.

No it isn?t. Hitler?s henchmen were executed for following orders. He said cops are ok because they?re just following orders.
Or how about this analogy, the guards at Abu Ghraib got into trouble for prisoner abuse even though they were "just following orders".

Right. But I think Mndfreeze was trying to say that if a cops job is to bust people with drugs, we need to blame the system for the fucked up drug laws, not the cops. They're just people with a job to do.
I'm sure lots of them take things way farther than they are told to though, and I have met a few of them. *muttering profanities under breath*

They chose to take a job in which they have to inforce unjust laws. That?s why I personally don?t like them.

Yeah I see where you're coming from. It is easy to judge though, and I think probably a lot of cops had the dream of being a glamorous fast driving hard assed dude from the time they were young, and probably are pretty ignorant when they go into the field about our laws. So yeah, ignorance sucks but we have to face that it is rampant. They are human too, and just want to be happy.
It is hard to find a decent job if your ideals are really high. That is my problem. I'm going into nursing but I am personally NOT a big fan of our medical system. AT ALL. Of course, it does truly have it's place, but normally I don't participate in it. And now I am going to be a huge part of it. I feel like a total hypocrite. But I guess at least I'll have a job that pays ok and is really flexible. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way about their work. I am seiously considering going into psychiatry or psychology instead though. Sorry for rambling.

I said it was a bad analogy because enforcing the law by arresting people who BREAK the law is a lot different than torturing/killing people based on race/religion. I totally understood what you ment, I just don't think it's a very good comparison. You have a choice whether or not to do drugs (and you KNOW they are illegal, no matter how wrong that is), you don't have a choice to be jewish. There is a pretty big difference between American cops and Hitler's henchmen. You see what I'm getting at?

You're right Chiefthunderbong, but I still feel the way I feel. I understand that they are people. I believe that we're all one soul. If that's true, then cops are just me playing another part in this illusionary game.
Tell Phishgrrl I understand her as well and hope that she makes it as far as one can make it in whatever field she chooses.
