I Got Busted Reefing by the NYPD!!!!

[Wes]

another ignorant remark...... if you don't know the facts don't comment
it was a very unfortunate incident for all involved

I'm sure Mom will appreciate that you publicly acknowledge that she knows you break the law.
geez imagine you spend 20 years of your life working to put food on table, provide health care and roof over your kids head, and he/she throws away your pension because he/she ran their mouth and made comments they thought were cool

is there an excuse for ignorance??

relax guy, public intoxication is illegal as well but there are 300 responses to the "I'm drunk" thread.

I'm not a "smoker" but i think it's a little screwy that someone can get a criminal record that could screw up their future for smoking a joint, while the next person can drive home from a happy hour after having a few too many, get caught endangering lives of others, and it's more socially acceptable.

People don't smoke marijuana and go home to beat their wife.

It's not the fault of police officers, it's their job to uphold the law...But the laws are a little screwed up.

Or selling Sea(Grass),,lol..

Sea Grass was part of the transaction :biggrin: Bob's Seagrass. I still can't believe I said Phytoplankton. I could have said live shrimp or fish food anything but Phytoplankton. LMAO.

I will agree the laws are screwed up
drunk driving is not socially acceptable and is met with stiff punishment does everyone get caught? no.
as far as my response to the comment that was made
police officers in spite of what everyone might think are held to a different standard of the law. the comments made, read by the wrong eyes could get that individuals mother and the cops who live in his building in lots of trouble.
what the avg Joe might get off as a warning, a police officer stands to lose, his/her job, pension and possible freedom


no one is perfect everyone makes mistakes. Problem here on MR is people make inflammatory comments and when it's given back they don't appreciate it

if I went on a lawyer bashing roll or bad mouthed stock brokers and bashed teachers I'm sure people would take offense and I would have to accept it because I invited it.


it's all about respect

 

[ellebelle]

So maybe the lesson here is that people shouldn't make inflammatory comments and should keep the talk to amusing reef-related incidents. Consider that a friendly reminder so we can keep the thread open.

i agree.no more comments for me.i stick with all the other forums this 1 gets me in trouble...:irked:

Time for the million reefer march!!!!!

Russ I'm surprised you have not got a call to bail out your partner yet :lol:

I've been in Grand Central a few times when Jim is making his transactions.
Standing in the middle of GC with a few guys around you holding up little bags and exchanging money, every time I'm waiting for someone to say something, but they never have. There must be a bunch of footage from GC cameras of the MR crew. I imagine they know Jim by now. In my head the camera picks him out and the computer scans his face and determines he's not a threat.

 

[emmanuel]

umm officer I'm not a drug dealer I'm a reefer. WHATTT?
I met a member last week at my job in the projects and handed him the zip lock bags 200 feet away from the PSA and as he handed me the money I joked this doesn't look good , as I look back here comes the deputy director driving down the block but he didn't notice me at least I don't think he did

You should of ran away, remember what happened to the guy who went to get his wallet to show the cops his ID. He got shot 41 times. My mother has been a cop for 18 years & I still don't trust most N.Y.C. cops. The two who live in my building are awesome, only b/c they know I smoke weed & do not care.

Are you talking about Amadou Diallo? That was a tragedy. Why not try comparing apples to apples? This was a drug cop trying to stop drugs from being sold in that neighborhood. If people were actually smart he wouldn't have a job or it would be a lot more difficult. You would be surprised what people do right out in the open, oh that's right you probably already know what they do out in the open because your mom has been with the NYPD for 18 years. It just goes to show you how smart you are. You are an embarrassment to your mother and to your neighbors. Oh and Dom was in his building and he should have run? Like that's a smart idea. Keep giving good advice there sparky.:tool:

Are you serious Jon? Do you really think J and I haven't had this conversation? We've already set up his bail account :shhh:

The things all of us reefers do, in the most conspicuous places amazes me that Dom's incident doesn't happen a lot more often......some with more serious results.

One of these days someone is going to get nailed and brought to central booking and held until a chemical analysis is done on the 'cheato' or 'green water'.

I'm happy that Nothing more serious happened due to a misunderstanding. Domboski.

On unrelated comments: In many ways some of us are charged with keeping the peace and we are swaying from that initiative.

hey it's a good thing you were not giving away a rock covered with hydroids,
what if you blurted out its a rock with hydroids :lol2:
you could have been a crack and pot dealer!

Thanks for the laugh J!:lol_large

I feel the need to comment.

To the OP, some bounds were stepped, but no harm was done. It made a funny story.

I respect the police for their work. But I can't buy into the whole "war on drugs". Maybe it's because I have always lived/rented in relatively upper class neighborhoods, but drugs don't "appear" to be the #1 problem on the streets.

I can't blame the cop for doing his job.

I had the repo man knocking on my door a few weeks ago. They were collecting my neighbors car and mistakenly came to my house. 3am, banging on the door with a flashlight. My dog was going nuts... Long story short, my girl was pissed/scared. I was tempted to answer the door with my 12 gauge semi just incase. In the end, the repo man was doing his job and that's just how the job gets done.

It appears there are a lot of police officers on this site. It makes me feel a little safer
Respect is a two way street. Sometimes people smear the double yellow lines..

Thanks!

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Keith respect us definitely a 2 way street but remember you also must give respect to get respect. This is a typical example of you give what you get

 

[Domboski]

It never occured to me to think about what it looks like when the reefing deals go down :lol2:

This was a funny thread until some people had to start going waaaaay off topic but since its started I'll put my two cents in.

If you think drugs arent a problem in suburbia, come visit Stony Brook University Hospital where I can give you a tour of all the patients going through withdrawal and then another in the ICU while some guy in his 20's is being taken off a ventilator because he is brain dead from heroin abuse. This is a daily occurence there in nice suburban Suffolk north shore community.

Aint that the truth!
