MY FRIEND JUST GOT BUSTED

Cops got a search warrant to search his room. They found an 8th of weed, 2 8ths of shrooms, and some random meds (he is OCD), but only busted him for the possession of marijuana. They could have gotten him on 4 accounts of paraphenalia charges, but they were "nice" and decided to let him off lightly. He is in county lock up right now on $500 bail.
What a shitty night...
Let this be a wake up call to other people in college. Don't smoke weed in areas that are high traffic. People will smell it, and will call the cops. Also, don't leave your bong laying out in plain sight on your computer desk with your door open 
Anywho, just thought I'd share this with everyone. Hope everyone's night is going better than my buddies

They didn't bust him for 1/4 ounce of mushrooms? He should be thanking his lucky stars. Sorry to hear about it though man, hope he gets it sorted.

Ditto all that. They weren't "nice" they *were* nice. One of my buddies got busted in the dorms too - his roomie rat'd him out though.
Edit: Were they university police or regular? Our university police were dicks and busted everyone on everyone. They would have had him on every charge they could come up with.

A guy in my university smoked weed all the time in the first year. Our corridor reeked of it consistently. He got caught on the first day when the police decided to do a random search with the dogs. They let him off with a warning though and then never checked again.
As for bongs, I leave both of mine plainly visible. We've had several visitors recently looking at the house who are planning on living here next year and I just simply never thought to hide them.

Yea, but you're in the UK. People in the US can't get away with the blatant drug abuse that we get away with here. I don't even bother putting out my spliff when walking by police anymore cause they really don't care.

Hmm... I didn't know that. I haven't smoked weed for long in the UK though, only a few months, 'cause before that I was living in Holland, where of course, it's very much tolerated and accepted.

It was city police. Campus security, at my school (it's a private liberal arts college) actually is REALLY lenient (sp?) and chill. We all wished it would have been the campus security.
As for them not busting him for the shrooms? Couldn't tell yah, they just said they were going to be nice to him and only bust him for possession of MJ.
As for the warrant. A single cop showed up. Said he had probable cause to search his room, because he could plainly see a bong sitting on the table and could smell the weed reeking up the hall way. So he got a hold of my buddie, asked if he could search his room, my friend told him "No, I want to speak to my lawyer first". So my buddy spoke to his lawyer, and his lawyer told him to make the cops get a search warrant.
So, the cops got a search warrant, brought in a detective to search the room, and even threatened with a search dog. The cops later said (after they were done searching and had already arrested him) they would have just given my friend a ticket if he hadn't made them go through all the bullshit of getting a warrant and making them search his room thoroughly.

Telling the cop to get a warrant when it reeks of weed isn't too smart unless it buys you some time? Did the guy never have a chance to get rid of his stuff, or did he just take a snooze when the cop went to get the warrant.

The first cop that showed up stayed there, called in the detective who came to the house. Checked out the situation and then from outside my buddies door, they called a judge and did whatever measures they had to do to get a warrant. There were a total of about 5 cops there by the end of the whole ordeal.
So basically: no, he had no time to get rid of anything.

I was under the impression that the lenient drug laws (or at least, the application of the laws) was a fairly new thing. How long has that been going on?

You usually have to identify yourself and if your driving you can be required to show proof of insurance and registration. Other than that just remember the 5 words: "I have nothing to say."

I was under the impression you had to physically have a piece of paper with a judges signature on it, for a warrant. I don't think a cop can just call up a random judge (how to even know he called a judge?) and get him to ok it. Doesn't make sense to me. I would require the cops to show me a search warrant, on paper, before I let them in.

The law has been corrupted by the courts. Be polite, but never try to talk your way out of something. That's what lawyers are for. Many years ago when I got busted the girl who was with me got busted only because she tried to talk her way out. I had told her that they didn't have anything on her & I had already told the cop the stuff that was in the trunk of the car was mine.
Erowid.org has a good article about dealing with the police.

He didn't let them search his room until he had a physical copy of the warrant in his hand.
