yesterday i was driving on this road that has a lot of corners and cut backs, and i was driving 40 in a 25. i came around a blind corner and came extremly close to hitting a cop car coming the other direction. she proceeded to flip a 180, and pull me over. she told me to get out of the car and patted me down. she then put me in the back of her cop car and took the other three passengers out of my car. they all were on the hood of the car. she proceeded to give them sobriety test. one of the girls just laughed when she had to follow the lady cop's finger because she had drank like a half a pint of 151. the cop made her go into the back of the cop car with me. by this point another cop car had shown up to talk to the rest of the passengers and the lady cop decides she wants to rummage through my car without asking permission. she finds a big paper bag with 5 1/5's of alcohol which the girl in the back of the car admitted were her's. she proceeds to search through my back pack with out my permission. she find 2 roaches in my backpack and 1 bottle of beer. in her all out ransack of my truck she finds another joint roach. so now im up to 3 roaches and a bottle of beer. the other cop that showed up continued to talk to all the passengers not in the back of the car and give me and the girl in the car breathalizers. i blow a .0 and she blows some redicoulous number like .10 or somthing because of the 151. so about a half an hour later of no cooperation from anyone they talk to (not including me because they dont want to talk to me i guess) they decide to let me drive home. but before that the lady cop pulled out her AutoCite and gave me a possession of marijuana, less than an ounce, possession of alcohol, and crossing double yellow lines for almost hitting her.
