so saturday night i was chilling with my buddy brandon, longboarding around and just hanging at his house when i get a call from my other buddy jon, who tells me his parents are away for the weekend and hes having some people over to drink and what not. so me and brandon decide to check it out, but first i have to pick up jon's friend nick, and then get jon at work. so i go pick up nick, and he has a backpack full of beer with him. im used to ridin dirty, i drive slow and shit to be on the safe side, and i didnt think tonight would be any different. so me brandon and nick show up at jon's work, a gas station where he works alone. He's allready with another friend of his, so my car is completely packed once we head over to jons house. now jon's work is seriously a minute drive to his house, and in the minute between the gas station and his house, we see a cop parked on the side of the road, looking for speeders and what not. Now, nick is in the passanger seat with a backpack full of beer because my trunk is full, not to mention two open bottles as well. I had about $5 worth of pot in my cigaratte pack and as we pass the cop i feel confident im driving at a good speed, because i hadnt had anything to drink. so we turn onto jon's road and boom. blues go up. we all agree were fucked, and i pull over. the cop comes up, i give him my liscence and registration, he immediatley asks whos drinking because he can smell it. i tell him i have no idea and he makes me step out of the car. i tell him i will take a breathalizer on the spot and he believes that i am sober. now cop #2 shows up, officer fredericks the #3 highest paid official in my town. he makes everyone get out of the car, and immediatley he finds nicks beers. nick takes full responsibility for them, and i allow the cop to search my trunk, where he finds a cooler of beer belonging to my buddy brandon. he also takes responsibility. i get searched and my tiny amount of pot is found. now the officer asks me if ive ever been arrested before, i have not been, and he slaps the cuffs on me and nick and puts us in his cruiser. now the k9 guy comes, and takes jon's friends backpack out of my car which i didnt even realize he had. inside, he pulls out all sorts of fireworks, illegal in massachusetts. think of it like the icing on the cake, i had no idea they were in there. anyways, the cops ends up letting jon go home because he lives on the street we got pulled over on, and calls the parents of brandon and fireworks kid. so basically the only reason nick got arrested was because his beer was open, seeing as brandon got to leave because they were in the trunk. as for me, i was charged with a minor transporting alcohol, open containor in a minor operated vehicle, and class d possession of marijuana. me and nick are booked, and we stay in lock up for six hours waiting for the bail commissioner. she finally comes at 4 in the morning, and me and nick are let out. i walk home. shitty. long story short, parents are ripshit, im grounded until "further notice", i have no more car, cell phone and i snuck online to share my story. i went to my court arraignment today and i have a court date on my sisters birthday. nice. im pretty much fucked, not to mention broke because of all these fines and i just turned 18 last week. moral of the story, put the beer in the trunk, never have an open container , that alone is a $500 fine and it wasnt even my beer.
 
the open container thing is just dumb as hell, unless you didn't know that somebody in the back seat had it open or something - in which case it would suck, but otherwise, open container = idiot.
 
NEVER consent to a search of the vehicle.

if he saw the open liquor then he saw it, however as it is the same fine for one bottle as it is for hundreds he had no reasonable doubt or cause to perform said search.

second of all, u were driving with open liquor.. just not smart, plain and simple.

always keep your pot out of view and always keep your liqour in the trunk

good luck with all that though
 
sucks bro, but just try to forget about it and move on. there is nothing you can do to change what happened so there is no use worrying about it. jus let it go because lets face it, shit happens.
 
i feel you i just got sited for having a beer in my system and accused of doing donouts in a gas station parking lot.

I fucking hate cops, i can lose my license for a long time if the judge doesnt believe me that i didnt do the donouts
 
i actually went in there and post-whored the shit out of it. i created probably 20 threads with the N-word about 100 times per post. made fun of people a whole bunch. and told them all to come to NS or they were retarded...it was pretty fun. but i wouldnt wanna do it my whole life.
 
mikey, why did the cops pull you over in the first place? were you speeding? did he see/smell the beers/pot from outside of the car? did you have a headlight out? license place light out? did he see lack of seatbelt wearing?

he needed a reason beyond a car packed with teenage boys wearing baseball hats.

my buddy got pulled over by a cop for no reason, resulting in a DUI. case got thrown out of court because the officer admitted he had no reason to pull my buddy over, except that she suspected he was drinking. he didnt speed, he didnt swerve, he signalled, all his lights worked, he didnt smell boozy, his belt was buckled. breathmints and focus can go a long way.

heres my strategy:

1. if your friends must drink while you drive, go one drink per person. if the cop comes, make them pound the drink. dont pull over until the drink is fully pounded. if the cop gives you shit for not pulling over quick enough, tell him you didnt feel safe pulling over at that spot. in fact, you can call 9-11 on him to confirm hes a real cop, then pull over. this is you verifying hes not a posing imposter, and is completley legal, and will hold up in court. your lawyer can cite a precident established in several cases where women were targeted by stalkers posing as police, uniforms cruisers and all!

2. next, if he gives you shit about the (recently made) empty containers on your floor, tell him they fell out during your last recycling run. this might not work so good if youre not 21, or if youre from the south where they dont recycle. maybe cram the empties under the seat, or hide them. same thing with the weed. out of sight.

3. if he smells booze, have one of your passengers suck it up and take the fall. offer to chip in on his fine. theres no open container, cuz its empty!

or

pull over immediatley and have license and registration ready before he gets to your window. have all seat belts on and all bad shit out of sight. when he approaches the window open it just a CRACK only wide enough to slide the paperwork through. you dont have to roll the window down any further until he slaps a warrant against it, which is a huge pain in his ass. this is especially fun to do if you have nothing to hide, and he thinks you do, and then he takes the time to get the warrant, and then he finds nothing, and then you write angry letters to the judge who wrote the warrant, his sargent, the mayor, and the chief of police. trust me he will catch more shit than its worth and think twice next time he want to harrass a kid, who is probably one of your buddies. combine this with calling 911 on him to verify hes a real cop and you paint a great 'concerned paranoid citizen' image of yourself, which is totally fine in this modern age when the war on terror reigns. remember: the average american is very stupid, and very scared. just the other day some dumb broad in my building called the cops for a bomb scare because she saw a BOW WITH WIRES HANGING OUT OF IT in the parking lot. and you know what the cops did? they catered to the scared sheepishness. instead of approaching the box, taking one look at it, and concluding it posed no threat, they closed my building and the entire block for an hour and called in a fucking ROBOT bomb remover. then they blew it up "just to be safe." point is: its perfectly acceptible to act like a total R-tard while simultaneously knowing and enacting your rights! hold this to a T and dont give the cops an inch. if you have a party, dont let the cops in even if they ask nice. you dont have to! its like jayz says in that song: "the glove compartment is locked so is the trunk in the back, you gonna need a warrant for that."

but, of course, the ultimate best way to stay out of trouble is to play it safe. lock your beers and sticky-ciky in the trunk. dont drink or smoke them while you drive. wear your seatbelt. take you ball cap off when you drive past a cop. dont speed. dont blast your music. sure its less fun and you feel more 'white and nerdy' than 'ridin dirty' but thats the price to pay to stay out of jail.

good luck cuz.
