I was stopped a few weeks ago and I was stoned, putting it mildly. I'm not going to say how much I had in the trunk. The cop asked a few questions, seemingly in hopes of smelling my breath, checked my license and wished me a good night.
Truth be told, there's rarely a time when I'm not high. I look like a totally straight upstanding member of society. That's what counts. When a cop pulls you over, he doesn't have a whole lot of time to determine who and what you are. The quicker he can classify you, the faster his decision process, the more streamlined his actions. This is what he wants. He wants to see you as a stereotype. So, give him a profile he knows. One that he finds completely non-threatening and even welcoming in its own way.
