me and my friend Greg just got stopped and searched on suspicion of being drug dealers
we were talking afterwards and realised that despite these guys being right dickheads to us, we'd both shaken their hands and wished them good luck.

when i got a guy in to do the drains for me
i shook his hand afterwards even though he was up to his elbows in shitwater all morning.
I got searched by police in Glasto '10
as I had lost my phone in my tent and was throwing things up in the air to retrieve it. They searched the tent, seemed pretty sure it was mine as a bunch of gig tickets fell out and I could rattle them all off.
I had a mates provisional as I was still seventeen at the time and they weren't too impressed. Rang him up to confirm I didn't just nick it. Still didn't miss LCD though. Winner.
Yeah LCD were really good that year
they got the sundown slot as well if I remember?
throwing things up in the air to retrieve it.
?
classic greg
i always say sorry to people even though i know its their fault
what's the deal with stop'n'searches?
do you have to consent to them like a caution, or are the PIGS free to do what they want here?
Dunno.
But we're not black, so why worry?
(Do I need a safety wink here?)
probably, just for taste reasons.
hi!
you can decline a stop and search
but the police don't word it in a way that seems to give you that option. they'll asky uo "can i search you" but leave off the "you don't have to say yes".
yeah, that's what I was wondering
they do a similar thing with cautions. so few people seem unaware that you don't have to accept it because they don't usually phrase it that way based on friends who've had run-ins.
frustrating.
I think it depends
we were in a car and a police car and van made us pull over. they said they'd been following two people of our description. evidently a bit shit at this whole police game.
anyway, I do not think that was an option for us. it was up against the wall, read the rights shit. Greg wasn't sure where to stand and one cop thought he was trying to run, ffs.
they were following you
so ipso facto they were following people of your description by default
bit of a weird way for them to justify it
Does Greg look like a drug dealer?
Only, you know, you don't look like a drug dealer.
Greg looks like a geography teacher
I used to get searched a lot
There was a big crackdown on folk carrying knifes so it became quite common to get stopped if you were a drunken teen out late on. It's fun to fuck with them and answer the questions before they ask them - always asked in the same order. Though remaining polite means you don't have to sit in the car while they run a full background check which takes fucking forever.
got stopped coming back from a pub quiz
by two coppers bell end coopers who thought they'd got a winner, despite there 'comin home from the pub are we, only had one pint all evening eh mate, we we'll see about that' i had only had one pint all night so wasn't a problem but the look the dude gave his partner in the car when i was clean was ridiculous, utter cocksmith

in case I ever got stopped and searched. Which will probably never happen. Not sure how I feel about it really, or what the point of my post is.
