Yup, I was dropping my friend off, who doesn't exactly live in the best neighborhood, and they pulled us. he steps us out of the car, then proceeds to grab my pockets(without asking, don't they have to ask?) and didn't even notice the bag in my pocket lol, searched my car, found my vitamins, and confiscated them because they look suspiciously like ecstasy to test them. but they did like the 15 inch survival knife I keep with me.

Long story short, I'm now in the process of .

happy toking and watch out for them pokers tonight!

yes they do have to ask, and anything they could have found you would have a fair chance of getting thrown out with a decent lawyer. and probably a fair case for a counter sue.

I was pretty sure they had to ask, but I couldn't remember. I'm a little suspicious though, when they asked to search my car, he said " Do you have anything illegal? drugs, guns, any weapons, pipe bombs, anything like that?" Now I know they don't usually ask about explosives when they ask, and I do have a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook (educational purposes only of course), and I have.. researched several things. Could this be anything or am I just being paranoid? Sorry for all the questions, I'm and in-depth and meticulous person.

liteature is not illegal that I know of n the usa...they published the book did they not?
Though it could be used for probable cause.
id take that out of the car if I were you....

cops may inspect/search any area you have direct access to for weapons as soon as they approach the scene and are expected to do so on most occasion. Had he found your weed during a weapons pat down and removed it from your pocket its illegal search and seizure unless they have a warrant.

my state constitutes the locked glove box trunk or anyother locked compartment to be inaccessible to the driver and therefore cannot be searched without consent or a warrant.

This same law has saved my *** erhm*** 'can' so many times its not even funny.
I refuse to ride dirty in any mannerism anymore as far as things in the car itself goes. There is a steel box welded under my vehicle with a padlock closing it for such articles. They would need a dog to find it in the first place and then need to call in a warrant to be brought to the scene b4 they may open it.

Some books are illegal to possess. The books that pops into mind are the "black books".

Never heard of them? That's how good the gov't is at covering up stuff they really want covered.

The "black books" are two training manuals on improvised munitions. Only, all these recipes are for real (unlike the Anarchist's Cookbook - which is mostly a load of crap). These manuals were used in special forces training until the early 80s. They are very interesting reading. Did you know you can make a liquid land mine - with stuff from the drug store! About a quart of liquid, poured in the ground, will explode when stepped upon - even after a year of steady rain - like in the jungle. The ground, itself, appears to just blow up when someone steps on it.

Get caught with either of these books and you'll be a guest of the federal gov't for a time. Local cops probably haven't ever heard of it, though. That bit of information was never meant to be known outside of elite military circles.

You will definitely get noticed - if they figure out what it is!

Na man, your just paranoid

They say " Do you have any gun's,drug's,weapon's, " for there protection,
And the whole "Do you have any pipe bomb's,explosive's," is there SAD attempt at amuesment........

To trick you into thinking -- " Ahh, this cop is cool, he's cracking joke's, " Cop is hoping you get 'comfortable' with him, and maybe, by accident let something slip, that will incriminate yourself, To make his job easier

A Cop once asked me " Do you have any weapon's, drug's in the car?
Me-"No Sir"
Cop said smiling--"Well how 'bout any C4,nuclear bomb's,or any anthrax?"

Me -.............*long pause*

..........*Blink*
...Uhh , No? Sir

(I Mean i think he was really trying to be funny to)

I hate cops

pretty sure a book isnt probably cause.......check out barry coopers videos

I've seen one before, my friend had them. And i have the original cookbook from 1970 where the recipes work. that and the survival manual for the marines from Vietnam.

I like telling them there's an tank in the trunk. But, it's under all the heroin.

For some reason, though, they don't see the humor.

I had no idea there was a volume 3. I wouldn't trust any recipes from the internet, though. Sounds like Darwin in action to me.

Cops "can" pat you down for "safety" reasons.

I have to ask though... Why were you stopped in the first place? Just driving through a "bad neighborhood" is not reason enough to be stopped & jacked up by the cops.

Did the cop ask if he could search your car?

If not, or if you simply said no, it was an illegal search.

Remember, you do have constitutional rights!

Equal to Amsterdam? ya?

dunno about that, never been to either im afraid. amsterdam was expensive, and nimbin was too far away i'm afraid. and i am not sure how this year is gonna be after they closed down the cannabis cafe last year.. could be that the gov finally got fed up of all these unruly potheads waving smelly buds under their noses.. hope not.

but well, it will still be something to write home about, hehehhe

peace. when i go i'll keep you all posted, after all. its something of a pilgrimage.
i know there will be all sorts of great aussie strains out there, wild bush weed, with no name but great for breeding... just my cuppa tea
