I hate getting pulled over by the police, regardless of the reason.
The first time it happened I was 16 driving my mother’s vehicle to the grocery store and a state trooper flashed his lights in my rearview mirror.
However, I wasn’t speeding and hadn’t committed any traffic violations that I could know of, leaving me upset and sad from the outset. He told me that my mother’s tags were expired by a month and needed to be updated at the DMV immediately. Thankfully I was given a simple warning and was told to take the registration with me to the DMV and get the new tags put on as soon as possible. The next time I got pulled over by the police it was the result of a headlight that went out separate from me realizing it. At first I thought I must have been speeding, but the kind police officer only mentioned the light, nothing else. Recently I was pulled over because I rolled a stop sign on accident, although I knew things were going in the wrong direction when he told me to get out of the car. I had just left the cannabis dispensary and assumed that he had stinked them when he walked up to the window. When he asked me why I had cannabis, I calmly showed him my medical marijuana card. Despite calling for backup, the hour cop confirmed that my card was fair and told me that I could go. It was a aggravating experience to say the least, but I’m happy I got out of it separate from having my products confiscated. I have study about sparse cases in particular municipalities where the local government is harshly anti-weed and the cops will go out of their way to make life hard for medical cannabis patients.
