Irate

Today I experienced something I never had before. Being stopped by the police and having my car searched. I was in the midst of taking my nephews to go see their grandmother when I was pulled over. I felt that it was about to happen as soon as I saw the police car, so I was not scared or nervous or anything.

Policeman comes to the car and does the usual, asking a million questions. Then he asks me one question...

Cop: "Do you have any marijuana in this car?"

Me: "No"

Cop: "This car has a strong smell of marijuana. Have you been smoking"

Me: "No"

Then he says Okay, and goes to his car. He comes back and asks me to step out of the car so he can ask me a question.

Cop: "Have you been smoking marijuana"

Me: "No."

Cop: "My concern are your nephews. Your car smells of marijuana. So I'm going to give you two tests that will determine if you've been smoking or not"

He does the tests, and at this point, I turn around and notice that he has called another cop for backup, and makes me perform the last test again. for the other cop..

Cop: "I'm going to ask you this again. Have you been smoking?

Me: "No. I just left work."

Other Cop: "Listen, just save yourself some time and trouble and tell us where the weed is. He smells it in your car, and he always finds it if he smells it. Either you can give us the weed, or we can take you downtown and perform a blood test to determine if you've been smoking or not."

Me: "Did I fail the test or something"

Other Cop: "Yes, you indicated to us that you are under the influence of marijuana"

Me: "how?"

Cop: "Because your eyes flickered"

Me: (blank stare)

Other Cop: "Where is the weed at? He is going to search your car now tell him where he can find the weed"

Me: "You can look but you will not find any weed in my car"

So the cop searches my car, with my nephews in the car, and DOES NOT find any weed.

Cop: "Im going to let you off with a warning for speeding. For some reason your car smells of marijuana. There was alot of marijuana in this car at one time. I saw an airfreshner under the seat. Most people use those to hide the smell of something. But since I didn't find anything you can go.

At this point, I walked the fuck off mad as hell, got in my car, and sped the fuck off.

FIRST of all my car DID NOT smell like weed AT ALL. Second of all, I always keep my car air freshners under my seat because I can still smell them without having to look at them. Third, there was never a large amount of weed in my car. Fourth, when the fuck did somebody develop a test to see if somebody was high. Normally a motherfucker LOOKS high, so if I was high, he would have been able to tell off top.

And that other cop was so fucking rude, it took everything I had in me not to curse that bitch out. All in my face talking about, "JUST TELL HIM WHERE THE WEED IS" I am so BEYOND MAD right now because this just happened about 5:00. And I dont even remember their badge numbers or their names.

And to add to that, my friend got pulled over yesterday and searched for weed. A girl. And the other night, my friends and I got pulled over when I was taking one of my cousins friends home. That cop was pleasant. My brake light was out and he let us go with a warning. But these cops today is the reason why black people DO NOT cooperate with cops. And add to the fact that they were white, makes me even more mad. I cannot hardly express the amount of anger I have right now. Like I can't even put it into words. All I can do is describe the situation.

I'll be back with more. I am NOT done with this AT ALL...
