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?

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?

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.

Maybe the cops know something we don't... someone crack open a glow stick and smoke some of that, snort some, and inject it and we'll see what happens.

Let me just play Devil's advocate here:
You had a box of glowsticks in your car that you were going to use "in a rave you were having in a week". The cop cited these as paraphernalia.
So basically the cop was right and you're upset?

Glow sticks are not paraphernalia. They are trip, err, roll toys.
My understanding was that paraphernalia is anything that plays a role in actually doing the drugs.

You could use a glow stick and shine it in your eyes so that your pupils get a little bit smaller, which would be concealing.
I will never carry a glowstick in my car again. Ever.

Pretty much anything that could be associated with raves can get you searched.
I learned this the hard way when crossing the border from NY into Ontario with a bunch of kandi kids on the way to WEMF.
Helllooooo strip search.

There's a big difference between a border crossing and a routine traffic stop. They don't really need any reason to strip search you at a border crossing.

True, but I doubt that a glow stick would hold up in court as probable cause (not that the cop wouldn't just lie and say he smelled pot or some shit), whereas border officers need no probable cause.

On kind of a tangent, If you have any kind of illegal drugs with me (ie going to a rave), make sure not to have any kind of raver paraphernalia on at all. Especially kandy beads and glowsticks because it makes you look so much more suspicious to cops. I go to raves dressed normally, and maybe put some kandy on when I get there.

Helllooooo strip search.
Yes except I didn't say anything about a rave until AFTER he looked at the glow sticks. Not to mention I already have a permit for a party that will have a "black light neon theme" from the city because they can get gay after 10pm.

Please. That's downright normal compared to a lot of shit the NYPD see/deal with on a regular basis.
And, while I agree that I would be immediately suspicious of someone with such accouterments, it is not paraphernalia in a legal sense, nor is it probable cause.

in michigan i saw on the news that if an unmarked car attempts to pull you over, you do not have to stop. whoever said you could call to verify it was the police, well what if you don't have a cell phone on you?
i'd like to see this law in print but do believe that, in michigan at least, you can choose not to stop for an unmarked car and they would have to call for back up in order to stop you. it has to be this way because otherwise people disguised as police could pull you over and rob you.
i personally wouldn't stop for an unmarked car. i would honestly be scared.

NOTHING about admitting that glow sticks for a party is illegal. Sure it may "raise suspicion" but it doesn't mean I am dui because I said its for a party I'm having in the future. The only thing that would happen if he caught me lying was he would get more upset and more gay and there was no reason to deal with that because I wasn't doing anything illegal in the first place.

This shit is mental but guys I know what this guy means, he means that if we are outside a club bopping our heads and shit and chewing gum and nodding in time to a standard 4/4 when there is no music whatsoever, and drinking loads of water, then going in and waving the water around in the air proudly to the beat whilst loudly chewing gum everyone will be liek 'what the fuck' and the police will come.
Because you're obviously not drinking, and you are waving around water, but plainly off your head. Does this make sense? They will know.

To solidify the "can you call the police dispatcher if your being pulled over by an unmarked car" question the answer is YES. I have done it before, unfortunatly, it was a real police officer.
I'm not sure if you can call 9-1-1 however. I dialed my local police stations phone not the emergency line.

Ummm, not at all, in fact just last week a 19 year old girl was raped in my apartment complex by a fake undercover cop in a jeep. It does happen and more often than not it's a young girl or somebody that can't protect themselves.

Thats absolute bull. Glowsticks are no more MDMA paraphanalia than dorritos are weed paraphanalia.

Dunno if anyone already made this point..
Quote:
i didn't think an undercover could pull you over... anyone?
but a real undercover police-officer, does not compromise their undercoverness, and will not pull you over, wiether you're speeding 20km past the speed limit or not.. In a situation like a robbery (and they just happen to be there), they can react just as any other citizen may do so to aprehend the criminal.. but again, they will take as much precaution to stay undercover as possible..
What you all are talking about here is Plain Clothes officers, and unmarked police cars.. They are not "undercover" police.. Plain clothesed officers are normal officers, just dressed normal to be inconspicuous..
Real Undercover police are specially trained (very specially trained), and are almost always used for specific undercover work- like infiltrating a drug ring, or trailing a suspected murderer, or pretending to be a regular citizen in a well known drug area, and making tabs and who's who, and whats what.. and in most cases if a crime unfolds in front of them, the will just call for the regular squade to take care of it.. etc..
nobody think this through a little bit? cause this just seems like common sense..

A know a guy who was smoking in his car, and an undercover pulled up next to them and saw the J. He was arrested ... Trying to bust someone for glow sticks is pretty insane. I've heard about lots of absurd things cops have been resorting to lately. Here in Michigan I know someone that got a DUI because the cop thought he looked high, and then made him submit to a blood test . .. Thats so invasive, and still doesn't prove he was high right at that moment.. while driving...
It's just insane
