Police and authority. (A non humorous addition).
Police and authority. (Sorry, this is another non humorous addition).
Pretty much all of this information was obtained from the lead police officer in my city, who is also our High School campus police officer. He gave a great speech and is ironically on the side of the students.
Here we go:
-Frisk- A frisk is a pat down. You cannot put your hands in the pocket of another if you are frisking them or else the frisk becomes a search.
- A High school principle or vice principle may frisk you whenever they have 'reason to suspect'. They may also search your car if they have 'reason to suspect.'
- A police officer, however needs 'probable cause' or permission from you to search your car.
- If you are arrested and brought to the county jail, you might end up wearing leg cuffs, handcuffs, and be chained to the person in front of you. An officer near Dallas told me he's seen people waiting in line like this for as much as 18 hours. Usually 8 on a busy night. He also said “If one person starts going crazy, everyone gets maced.” This is a county prison in Dallas/Ft Worth Texas.
In addition to this, if you have the money to pay your way out of jail, there is a minimum of a 6 hr holding time (at least where I live), PLUS the time you wait in line to be processed.
- If a police officer is frisking you and they feel something that feels like a drug, they will claim they thought they felt a weapon in your pocket. They must feel a weapon the stick their hand in your pocket if you have not been arrested. If they pull drugs out, you're screwed.
- You can receive a ticket for skipping school.
- You can receive an assault charge/arrest for spitting on somebody.
- You can receive a ticket for a stink bomb for 'disrupting the learning environment.'
- (At least in Texas), a police officer cannot arrest you if he finds stems or seeds from marijuana in your vehicle. He must find a smokable amount.
- A drug dog can usually smell marijuana on a door handle of a car for 48 to 72 hours. A police dog is not allowed to search you, as that is violating your body space. Also, dogs like to sniff crotches, and according to my police officer, “They're trained to be mean. They already want to bite you, so if they smell something in your pants, they might bite you between the legs.”
- Don't lock your glove compartment. Cops look for that immediately. If it's locked, they become very alarmed. You don't want a cop on edge when they pull you over.
- When pulled over, tell the truth, apologize, keep your hands in plain view (on the wheel is a good spot). Have your window rolled down and your info ready. If he tells you to do something, do it. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose by not complying. I can't count the number of immature people I've seen who have gotten tasered. It's hilarious
- When asked to do something, you can give a rebuttal if you really have to, but do is AS you're complying with the orders. Don't sit there and argue and expect the officer to change his mind.
- If you are being arrested, don't resist. You can get an extra charge for that. If they shouldn't be arresting you, but are, then they (by law) can get in serious trouble for an 'unlawful arrest.' So don't sweat it.
- A police officer may only search the parts of your car that you can reach from your seat (if he doesn't have a warrant). You can call off a warrentless search anytime you want.
- When a police officer asks you if you have anything illegal on you, don't look at the spot where you're hiding the illegal stuff, and then say, “No.” They watch for that. Also, many times people will look in the back seat at a friend who has drugs on them, and say “No.” They'll know your friend has something on them.
- School drug dogs are trained to smell ammo, alcohol and drugs.
- Police dogs are trained to smell only drugs.
Here's why; Let's say you had beer and marijuana in the back of your car, and the police dog started barking. If it were trained to smell alcohol, as well as drugs, and they gained entrance to your car that way, they would not be able to charge you for having marijuana in your car. This is because there would be no way to know if the dog smelled the beer (a legal substance you can have if you are of age), or an illegal drug. That is why police dogs smell drugs (and maybe bombs) exclusively.
- There is a place called the 'drunk tank.' It's a big room with bars on all sides where they send you with all the other drunks. There are holes in the floor for you to puke and piss in. The place is filthy, and your clothes will not be clean by the time you get out of there.
- Read up on body language. Police love the stuff.
