Glad you squeaked out of that situation. I've been keeping a low profile as well for a while. Was thinking about heading out some, but the more I read, the less it seems wise. I've lost track of regulars.
As scary as it is, if anyone dreams of LE, try to remember not to self incriminate. Better to politely say nothing.
Like he says in Goodfellas- you learned the two most important things: never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut!
[QUOTE=Mannheim;2603332]Went over 15 yrs with no run ins, the last 3 months I've had two run ins with police. This one much more frightening. Barely awake and a little cloudy I attempted to pick up a gal that has been disappearing on me on the prior attempts I've made. This time got her in and went 10 ft before blue lights got me. Oh boy, smelled like a skunk in my car and I had a large amount on me, stupid stupid, I know.
Immediately asked both to step out. Asked me what I was doing, said I was on my way to work when this gal flagged me down. Immediately asked how much I offered her, said nothing, which was the truth because we didn't have a chance to. He was addiment about me telling him the dollar amount offered. Kept denying, then he asked how much would I have offered. Again I said no $ amount. He then cuffed me and said he was impounding my car for solicitation. 3 more squads pull up. I'm screwed, nope. I over heard the officer telling the new arrival officers he "has no admission on me". Felt the weight of the world fall off of me. Then they came back and gave me "luckiest break in the world" speech. Back on my way to work, as I should of been in the first place.
Theres a lesson here that I never believed much in before. Some cops folow the book and only arrest when law says they can. I know some officers would have arrested without the admission, but in this case it worked out. Needless to say, I think I'm going on a break.[/QUOTE]
