1. One law at a time.
If you’re holding or using that’s one.
Don’t break any others.
Particularly in your car, all laws must be religiously obeyed. Police are now trained to use every encounter as an excuse to invade your privacy. Signal for every turn, don’t speed, make all persons wear seat belts, have all your lights in order, your tabs current, your signage up to date if your vehicle looks commercial, etc. It seems petty, but there is no traffic violation too petty to support a stop.
And once you’re stopped if the car smells of dope, if the cop sees a pipe, or if you just don’t look right, you’re going to be searched.
If you must carry dope in your car put it in a smell proof container inside a locked briefcase inside a locked trunk or glove box. Hey, dummy, I know it’s a lot of trouble, but I’m not kidding.
I get dozens of cases every year from folks who broke this one simple rule. Their misfortune was preceded by their decision to think “Oh what the hell, I’ll take the silly chance just this once.”
I love that line.
It pays my rent.
