Because I'm a dumba$$...lol. Hopefully you won't mind me just copying my post from another site because it's not exactly a short story...

When the trooper approached my open window instead of asking for my license and insurance he asked my niece and I to get out of the car and and to step around to the rear of the car. The trooper then said he wanted to search my car (which isn’t legal in Texas without a warrant) but I gave my consent because I had no reason not to.
The first thing the trooper found was an unmarked bottle of Tylenol in my glove box which he refused to believe was Tylenol…next he found a small green container full of cinnamon Altoids in my console…which he apparently thought was some kind of new designer drug even though I told him what they were…so that got him really excited…then he searched all of our luggage and he found a joint of marijuana in my niece’s bag. The trooper asked whose pot it was and my niece never fessed up so I eventually said it was mine.
I learned a few things in my teenage years and one of them was if NO ONE takes responsibility EVERYONE goes to jail…plus there’s no way I’m telling the family that my niece got busted on my watch…lol. So for me….the admission was a no brainer…that way my niece went free to drive Envy home and save her from a towing to the impound lot and although I've never been arrested before I was pretty sure a night in jail wasn’t going to kill me.
Since I know in the State of Texas anything under two ounces is a misdemeanor and usually results in the confiscation of the drugs and a $200 ticket I asked the trooper what the deal was on the ride to the station. He informed me that the State Troopers have a zero tolerance policy and arrest for any amount.
So there you have it…I went to jail for a joint, some Tylenol and some breath mints…lol…and I was issued a warning for the 97 in a 65.  |
I did hit a milestone on my odometer before my arrest earlier that day...10000 for the WIN
