RIU Suicide....Ask an Ex-Cop Anything.

[cmt1984]

What was your carry loadout? 9mm, .40, .45... Gold Dots, Golden Saber, HST, TAP, etc...

 

[Japanfreak]

Well Japan, I respect your opinion. You're right, I don't have all the answers. I haven't been a cop since '96. Two years isn't a complete rookie, but isn't a veteran either. I just figured if I can help one person out, I would.

Well what can you answer? What is your expertise in? Speeding tickets? If you want to give people advice on getting out of speeding tickets that would be cool I guess but this is a pot/drug board so let me ask you this, how many pot gardens have you raided?

I preferred th S&W 4506 loaded with HydroShocks. The Black Talon is an awesome round but we were not allowed to carry it.

*EDIT* It was a .45cal for those that aren't familiar with it.

But it's all a lesson learned. I wish I hadn't dedicated the first half of my life to becoming a cop, but I wouldn't be who I am today without it. Congrats on getting squared away!

Thank you. It sure feels nice being able to do things without that "lookin over your shoulder" shit.

I've been robbed by Chinese Triad in Vancouver, held up in a home invasion. I have had my life threatened multiple times. I have also done what I had to do to protect my interests, but looking back I see the errors in my ways. I am the kind of guy that should just stick to growing dope. Cocaine is a problem for me. Alcohol is a problem for me....that often leads to cocaine. And the biggest problem was that I have a Tony Montana complex when I get involved in that shit. And we all know what happened to him at the end of Scarface.

Just feels nice to be done with that shit. Don't get me wrong, I still like to party occassionally, but the difference is that it no longer runs my life, I run it.

I appreciate what you are doing here, and reading now, and not being SO STONED as I was yesterday, I see you are just trying to help. Don't fret the comments, but I need not tell you that as you seem to handle the criticism very well.

Take care.

Never raided a garden. I was on routine patrol so I handled a little of everything. Vehicle stops were the most common because I tended to be fairly proactive. I just have heard many a smoker, usually during a sesh, ask a question and not have the guts to just walk up to a cop and ask. I figured I might be able to answer some of there questions, to the best of my ability, while allowing them the comfort and annonymity of the net. I'm a pretty new member to cannabis forums since I found them while researching for my first grow and have enjoyed the discussions.

The word kids implys minors.......if not minors then the beer would of been leagle and he couldnt take it. so he takes the beer and gives the drugs back to a minor....Your words not mine

I've never been a crossing guard so I'm at a loss to help on that one.

Stop being a dick...

You can bow out of the thread if you disrespect the guy.

He may be useful to someone else.

Everybody remember, cops for the most part just do their job. Tomorrow if ju-ju bees were illegal they would bust you for ju-ju bees... If you have a problem with the laws direct your anger toward your congress people because cops cant change the rules they have to follow. (and I am not interested in all the exceptions of corrupt cops - blah blah). I am talking about the cops that do their job and protect our families on a daily basis.

HydraShoks were a great round for their time along with the Golden Saber but have since been replaced (IMO) by the HST and the Ranger T-Series a.k.a Black Talons minus the coating. The way those things mushroom is a work of art.

​

the kids were all over 18 so not minors. its not LEGAL (take note on the spelling there) to drink until you're 21, therefore he took the beer. had they been under 18 i know he would have taken the weed as well.

I've had C.I.D. come after me for smuggling H. into the country back in the 70s. and never got caught cause I never panicked.
Choose your words, watch your attitude and never admit anything!!!!
If your worried about what your doing don't do it or keep it inside.
If a cop wants to come into my house they will be denied until they show me a search warrant or bust down my door.
Most cops are pretty cool, the ones I don't care for are the Feds. (Fish and Game, Park Rangers Ect.) most of them are just pure shit heads.
Can't blame them for wanting to fuck with the stonners cause they won't get violent!
But when they have to answer a domestic violence or bust a Meth Head it's a different game.
Just my .02 cents.
I had a sheriff ask me if I wanted to be a deputy and I told him he'd have to fire me once he found out about me when I was in the service, he said no it won't be a problem that he prefered having people work for him that had some experience from the other side LOL!!!!

I now load Federal Premium jacketed hollow point in my S&W Sigma chambered in .357sig. I wanted to get better rounds but have been hard pressed to find ANY rounds in .357sig. And when I do, talk about expensive! I think I'm going to buy the extra barrel that converts it to a .40.

that's how I got through my background check. Admitted to smoking weed when I was younger and played it under the idea that "It takes one to know one!"

ok I take back what I said....when I hear word kids i think of under 18 makeing them a minor.........but still giveing back the pot? his call but i dont agree if you take the beer take the pot...........just saying........but they were adults so i appolize to you.

ps. about my spelling......im frigging lucky i even can see the keyboard let alone hit the right keys. pretty wasted right now.

Kinda like the soldiers thread. Hate the policy makers, not the troops following the orders doing their job.

Exactly.......

 

[cmt1984]

stondedpony - basically all he did is told the young adults that its ok to smoke weed and not ok to drink booze. i completely agree and see nothing wrong with that. but to each his own.
