In a bit of trouble...
    #6095320 - 09/24/06 10:24 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

So I got busted today picking weilii mushrooms at the spot I felt the safest. They were in a bookbag when an officer asked if he could search it. I said no and so he called the canine unit. Sure enough the dog scratched at the bag. Not because of the mushrooms appearently, but because I had bud in the bag a couple days earlier and the dog could still smell it. Well they find the mushrooms handcuff me, read me my rights and put me in the back of their car. I told them I had no idea what kind they were and that the only way to identify a mushroom was with a microscope and spore print. I guess because I said that they couldnt charge me with anything as they let me go completely free. Maybe the happiest moment of my life.

Though they did say something about sending the mushrooms to a lab to check for psilocybin. Then it would be up to the GBI to act further.

Im wondering if I have anything to worry about. Anyone have any experience with this? Do you think they will actually file charges once they realize the mushrooms contain psilocybin? They did let me go afterall with no charges. And that was after the cop assured me I would be charged with tresspassing, loitering and prowling, and lying to an officer. Though they let me go.

doesnt sound like u lied to him, you told him the truth, theres really no surefire way of confirming til u brought it home and put it under a scope, and took a print to check the color. theres so many mushrooms that can appear like a weilli.

you dont HAVE to say anything when they show up, so anything u say think about it real carefuly. sounds like u handled it fairly well though, and im surprised to hear they called a k9 unit, cause even if u were picking mushrooms a dog wouldnt be able to smell it.

The situation became a huge ordeal. 9-10 cops showed up and waited the two hours with me it took for the canine to arrive. The whole time they were playing mind games with me trying to get me to admit to crimes. We'll see at first, because I panicked, I told them I was looking for places to skateboard. Unforunately, some lady had seem me come to this spot a couple times before so it seemed kinda odd to the officer that I would be checking the same place over and over for skatespots.

So that was obviously a lie. One of the cops told me I would be charged with like 3 diff crimes but if I let him know what was really in my bag and what I was really doing here that he would take those charges away. But I stuck to my story and waited for the dog. They walked the dog by my car. Nothing. They walked it by my backpack, at first nothing. They kept walking the dog over and over my backpack untill finally it put its paw down on the bag.

Its funny though, the dog didnt smell the mushrooms. Just a faint scent of pot in the front pocket where I kept some one day last week.

They then made me do this test where you close your eyes and lean your head back. Somehow they can tell by your eyes if you've smoked pot in the last 48 hours or so. After they let me go they said I couldnt drive my car home or I would recieve a DUI. Just because I had THC in my system. I hadnt smoked since the night before and was not intoxicated in the least. So I had to then wait a couple more hours on a couple friends to come and drive my car home.

One funny thing I noticed is that when they confiscated the mushrooms they put them all in one big, plastic, evidence bag. Hopefully they'll decay a good bit before they get to the lab, making them impossible to test.

they will decay. they seal those things airtight, and if the labs a few days mail away, they will be oatmeal consistency.

unless they put them in a freezer very quickly, they'll be worthless for testing by the time the lab has a chance to look at them.

Exactly.  You shouldn't have anything to worry about.  IF they test them, they'll decay so fast that they will be mush. (No pun intended :smile: )

Thanks guys, you make me feel much better.  :smile:  Hopefully, because of the cops decision to put them in plastic, the mushrooms will be in no condition to be tested.

i second that, fuck their "buddy buddy" BS.
they are only there to arrest you and thats their job, the courts handle everything else, so theres no way they (by their job) are allowed to go easy on you for anything. Nor will they go against their job.
money and power, and some writing on a piece of paper, mean more to them than possibly saving someones life.

I hate it when they fuck with mushroom pickers,
these kinda situations are why i spent most of last year patching shoe and fist shaped holes in my walls.

Great way of handeling it...

I have a question that's sort of on topic. If i have mushrooms in a baggie in my trunk, Do they train dogs to smell them?

Its probably possible but I dont think its common practice. The dog that searched my bag was only trained to smell marijuana and cocaine. The cop told me several times that he belived I had pot in my bag. Which is why he ordered that particular dog. If I hadnt carried pot in my bag some days earlier I would have walked away completely ok and with the mushrooms I picked.

You know in my situation Im not even completely sure if the dog smelled anything. The cop walked the dog past my bag several times and the dog did nothing but try to walk away. Its almost like the cop did some command to make the dog scratch my bag. Thus giving the cops free will to take a look inside. I mean after 2 hours of waiting and 9 cops showing up they would have really looked like asses had the bag not set off the dog. I wouldnt be surprised if the cops had some kind of vague command to order the dog to bark on a suspicious item/vehicle.

I doubt the dog smelled anything. One time I was with some people and we got pulled over, we had no drugs in the car of any kind, and in fact no drugs had ever been in this car as it was just purchased a month earlier and my friend only drinks occasionaly. Two of my friends in the car look like stoners, although they are no longer stoners they still have that obvious stoner look to them. The cop asked if he could search, the driver said no, so he 'detained' us somehow and called for a dog. The dog walked by a few times smelling nothing. The cop and dog walked behind the car to the trunk where we couldnt see him, and magically the dog started to bark wildly. The cops said aha! and said they now had permission to search the car. They searched it extensively and found nothing. I almost felt like suing them, but I am far too poor for something like that

Wow, hearing a story like that really makes me wonder. Maybe I wasnt charged with the mushrooms because the cops knew they wrongfully searched my bag. They were looking for pot the whole time and were sure I had some. When they found no pot or cocaine in my bag(the only substances the dog was trained to find), it kinda showed that the search was unjustified.

Also, after the search, they tried to get me to admit to having pot in my bag at some recent point in time. They said I would not be in trouble for admitting to it but that the cop needed it for records. After all the lies they had thrown my way I wasnt about to help them out in the slightest or worse yet fall into another one of their traps. I told them I had never ever carried pot in my bag. The cop with the canine told me he could smell a faint scent of marijuana on my bookbag. Which now that I think about it is sounding more and more like bullshit. Do you really think a human being, trained or not, could smell pot on a bookbag that carried a bowl and a small amount of green, both wrapped in a bag, from at least 3-4 days ago?

This might be something I can use in court if that day does come. If there was no pot in my bag and the dog doesnt signal on mushrooms then what the hell was the dog doing!!?

case law says that if the cops have a legit reason for detaining you, and they can get a dog on the scene and have it sniff you or your car without detaining you any longer than necessary for that reason, then they don't need any additional cause for the dog sniff.

for example, if you happened to be pulled over for a traffic violation by a canine unit, one cop could take the dog around your car, for no reason at all, while his partner wrote out your ticket.

on the other hand, if you were pulled over for speeding, and the cop had no probable cause for a search, he could not detain you for 40 minutes while the canine unit drove there from halfway across the county.

remember that if a cop ever threatens to call in a dog. if he's got no legitimate reason for holding you, and he does so anyway against your will, pretty much anything that happens after that is worthless in court. always attempt to break off contact with police as quickly as possible.

in this case, someone was trespassing, so there's a problem because they can arrest you for that, in which case they don't need a dog hit to search you anyway.

Officer, it is 10:35am and I am already late for a morning meeting. Unless I am being detained, I would like to leave now, please.
