I got pulled over with "ecstasy paraphernalia " WTF

So the other night I got pulled around 2 am for speeding 5mph over the limit. It was by CHP so he does a DUI test on me and I pass but he says my pupils are "too big" and holds a up a little chart next to my eyes and says I am out of the range for "sober pupils". I allow him to search my car because I have NOTHING in it. He finds glow sticks and says that its "MDMA paraphernalia" because my pupils are dilated as well. He then does a DUI test AGAIN and I pass AGAIN. He let's me off with a 'stern warning' and I should be happy that he "couldn't prove I was under the influence of MDMA". WTF is that shit? Are glow sticks paraphernalia?

I had a box of them for a rave I'm having in a week and he let me keep them. It was HUGE bullshit imo.

hmmm. i guess i got lucky. got pulled over in new york, right outside the city, for making a an ullegal uturn and unsafe lane changing. undercover was following us for a while b4 he pulled us over. the only problem we had was that me and my friend werre rolling hardcore in the car. pupils dialted and prob rolling like shit. i hoinestly think we msut have scared the shit out of the cop or something, hahaha. we got pulled over and 2 squad cars arrived later on with a police truck too. it was rediculous. all the while i was sitting there beeing totally hyponotized by the beautiful blue and red lights EVERYWHERE. man we were totaly gone. when the cop came back to the car i was shocked ot see he handed me 1 ticket for unsafe lane changing and told us to go. ahahaha. when we got home we realzied how bad we had looekd rolling in the cops face. damn. i never pushed my luck liek that again.

Most of the time they call for back up. If they think they HAVE to they have a light they can put on their car, but it varies state to state.

Yeah, undercover cops don't bother pulling people over. They just let people speeding at 20mph over the limit cruise right on past them...
"I'll just leave that hoon for a marked cop to catch. Mmm, these donuts are good."
Sorry, the sarcasm killed me, too.
It would seem ludicrous if undercover cops couldn't pull people over. They have those cool singular sirens that they stick on their roof when "in pursuit", just like the movies.

A cop in an unmarked car can do anything a cop in a marked car can do. Why wouldn't they be able too? I've seen dozen of unmarked cars pulling people over around here. Afterall, they are still cops doing the same job.
edit: unmarked cars have light bars inside of the car as well as the headlights, which you cannot see. I've never seen an unmarked car put a light on top of his car like in the movies. BS

When being pulled over by an unmarked car you are allowed to call the police to verify that it is legitimate and not somebody trying to rape you, steal your car, et cetera...or am I mistaken?

yeah, i read a court ruling striking down quotas, but as far as behind the scenes kind of deal, its probably still in effect, as onelessforeskin said, its probably only been removed from official paperwork.

Were you high on MDMA?
Not that it matters, and you did get off with a warning. But, that is bullshit that the cop tried to call glow-sticks paraphernalia.
According to the US Department of Justice
Quote:
The term drug paraphernalia refers to any equipment that is used to produce, conceal, and consume illicit drugs. It includes but is not limited to items such as bongs, roach clips, miniature spoons, and various types of pipes.
Under federal law the term drug paraphernalia means "any equipment, product or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing, processing, preparing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance."
Glow-sticks don't seem to fit under that definition.
