Got pulled over while smoking a bowl

So I'm driving home at 2am from a [censored] game, enjoying a little ganja in my wooden pipe (please I drive just fine while stoned - MUCH better than my wife ever will sober). Suddenly whirling lights flash behind me. [censored]! I drive an old Jeep Wrangler with a rag top and plastic windows, drive ahead a little and pull over, while trying to cram my stuff into my pocket. I'm paranoid the cop is gona smell something, so as soon as I stop I get out of the jeep and walk to the police car, hoping to meet him half way.. but as soon as I step out the cop gets on the intercom and tells me to return to my vehicle. Thank goodness a big coldfront was blowing thru as I sat in the jeep with the door open by the time he showed up to ask for my license the winds had blown away all evidence. I know I appeared nervous tho, chewing gum and all (trying to hide pot breath) and he gets suspicious. Tells me I was doing 46 in a 35 which is BS cause I never speed when I'm smoking while driving. Then he starts asking if I've been drinking. "No sir" I truthfully replied, quite stoned at the time. He takes my license/insurance back to his car..

Meanwhile I realize my pipe has fallen out of my pocket, is somewhere on the floor of the Jeep, and I can't find it (no interior lighting). [censored]! Cop comes back asks me to step out of the vehicle, says he wants to find out if I've been drinking, leads me back and does a field sobriety test, which I easily pass with flying colors. "You ain't been drinking" the cop says handing me back my license and wishing me a good night.

Whew that was CLOSE! First I buy enough time to air out the jeep, then I don't get searched, then I don't get a ticket.. no jail.. nothing. scary! Went home and smoked a bunch more to calm down.

Moral to the story - don't drink and drive - but if you can handle your weed you'll be able to easily pass sobriety tests.

yeah, one time my friend got pulled over doing nothing out of the ordinary, i was in the back seat of his cadillac, and another one of our friends was in the passenger seat. my friend in the passenger seat thinks hes all suave and says "ill handle this" and opens the door and they are IMMEDIATLY on the intercom telling him to get back in the car. it turns out they thought we were stealing cars because they got a report someone in a cadillac was stealing cars, so they assumed it was our cadillac. a long search ensued.

I have been pulled over twice with weed in the car while in the act of smoking. Both times the cop just made us stomp the weed in the ground and break the pipes/blunts/joints whatever it was we were smoking out off. I didn't have my license on me so they hand cuffed me and put me in the back of the police car. Insteda of arresting us both times they sat both of us down in the car and lectured us for about 15-20 minutes abotu the dangers of drugs and how we need to get out act together. It was like D.A.R.E class all over again. Has anyone else ever had this experience? The cop trying to make a difference instead of just busting you?

Big nono. Cops instantly see this as a threat.

I will reitierate the point that cops probably don't view your getting out of the car to meet them as an enthusiastic approach commonly used by law abiding citizens.

If I got pulled over by the police, I would likely get out to see what the hell they wanted.

Although I live in a country where the chances of me being shot for doing this is nil.

Exactly, I will always get out. I'll wait for them to get out as well though, no threatening approaches here.

If I was in the states I'd stay firmly in my car seat though, and not move my hands in total fear that some action of mine would be interpreted as a threat and I would get shot. It amazes me that even just driving away after pulling over is enough for them to start shooting at you.
