Put down the pot and pick up a text book

[Rlong1985]

It is clear to me that most of the anti police and judicial system in general thread posters are clearly uneducated about their rights in this country. If this most of these posters would stop smoking dope, weed, crack and/or going one hundred miles per hour then most of their problems would simply go away. If half these people would take just one criminal justice course or do some basic research they would find most of the answers to their questions regarding how to stay out of trouble ( something a parent should do).

Its basic stay away from drugs and it will greatly improe your chance's of not going to jail.

It has been my experience that most of the dope smoking posters on this site claim to be Criminal Justice students.

I do support your theory of study over getting high. However, it IS more of a statement than a question.

This thread belongs else where. Possibly General LE Topics or Off Topic..

You are correct, I did not notice the forum before posting. This is in responce to serveral threads here but I should have posted this in a more general area. Can an admin move it?

Thanks Citi for moving it. My mistake I will try not to do it again.

After thinking about this topic some more I am still unsure why the stoners seek out such a fourm The fourm is clearly ment for cops and the community of law enforcemen to include support services and families of officers. Why come and pick a fight? Police Officers are not there to answer legal questions nor qualified to do so; they enforce the law not make it. Checks and Balences people.....

If you want to smoke a bong they write congress not complain to the cop that he should let you go because its a plant or some bull crap.

Here, here!!!

It's so much easier to join a cop site and whine and complain than it is to actually DO sojmething...

Stoner motivation...

It may be that many of the combative posters are just looking for people to agree with them so that they can feel better about themselves...the whole "Oh, you've done NOTHING wrong, this is a terrible injustice, that cop is crooked, etc.!" bit. And others...well, maybe they're just too stoned to use logic.

Textbooks are my friends. Don't be jealous.

My opinion is that they want to yell at cops but they risk jail if they do it in person because they basically know they are doing something wrong at some level. They are just a tad smarter than the ones that talk themselves up from a "cite and appear" situation to a "you've wasted enough of my time so I might as well arrest you" situation. They get to vent at what they think is the root of problem without fear of any real consequences.

Hopefully, some of them are actually reliving an argument they lost on the street that ended up with a trip to local detention center . And if winning the argument with the cop means they avoided arrest, this is the place to be.

The problem with them taking one criminal justice course is they would think they know all there is to know about the law.

I often wonder why that is. I've taken several classes, and I still don't know what the heck I'm talking about.

These drug users are clearly lucky they live in the United States and not other western countries such as the United Kingdom. They complain regularly about cop’s searching their car’s in this country after giving the Police Officers permission to do so, but have they heard of STOP and SEARCH in the UK? I hope I am not giving away a secret here but you do not have to consent to a search in the United States, if the PC is considerable the Officer will use an on call judge to procure a warrant. Forum user’s who complain about Police using scare tactics and dog’s to search their vehicle are grossly mistaken, if they just acted like a law abiding citizen then the Officer would have no reason to waste his time too search.

[Sgt. Slaughter]

To take that one step further: If you are a law abiding citizen, there's no need to act. Once you start faking something or lying at all, that's when we go to town tearing stories apart.

I've had several people that were just honest when they got busted. It was quite shocking to me, personally. "What??? Are you sure these are YOUR PANTS?!?!?!"

[Rlong1985]

Once again Slaughter I find myself in agreement to your statement.

Through my experience I have found through oberservation of Law Enforcement it as important to be able to detect bull **** as it is to have an understanding of on the book law.

Not exactly, but they make great weapons for that little squabble in the back of the classroom.
