Easy all!
Yesterday at the world famous Notting Hill Carnival i got stopped by police, for the 3rd time in 10 minuites, for a random stop and search under Section 60 - D Offensive Weapons.

Police officer did a body search on me to find nothing, he then proceeded to take down all my details.
After he took down all my details he then decided to search my bag.
He found a total of 6 pre rolled joints, probably 2g, and a furhter 2-3g in 2 seperate baggies.
This was all for personal consumption throughout the carnival.
They tried doing me for dealing, max 2 yrs, but managed to talk my way out of it, im poretty good at getting out of situations.

On the Police stop and search slip they have me, it says;
Reason for Search? - D - Offensive weapons
Grounds of search? - D - Offensive Weapons
Outcome? 1 - No furhter action

This has miffed me, as the officer took away all my weed, put it in an evidence bag and sealed it. I also signed the evidence bag.
Yet i have no record of him actually taking away any drugs from me, or that i was in any way cautioned.

Anyone here in the Uk got any advice for me?
Something deffinately is not right here!
I think the Police took my stash and either smoked or sold it!

Peace!

should have expressed your 4th amendmant. dont consent to searches. when asked to step out of your vehicle make sure u close your windows and lcok your doors so he cant get in illegally. if you have ALOT of weed on you then "accidently" lock your keys inside your car! this way he cant steal your keys from you to search your car.

You had a street caution, if you get caught with more within six months then they will arrest you for possestion.

Hope that helps.

Im in the UK so the laws are a little different.

After speaking to a few friend police officers, seems like the dudes just got some free weed.
Not happy but no sweat! :P Shit was so strong im sure it knocked them out for the rest of their shift!
