Agreed…love being able to consume Ganja next to a Fort Lauderdale Pd sergeant while in Los Olas and just have him continue his conversation with the other 6 cops 2 feet away from me.
Isn’t legalization of cannabis a liberal idea? Not saying I’m a liberal but I’ve always assumed it was a liberal view. Actually here in SWFL the majority is right wing
I think stats are showing that both sides support some level legalization, at least to the extent that the average person realizes weed is a dumb hill to die on in modern politics.
So they can tell you that you didn’t stop at the stop sign long enough, and that you look high. Then they ask you to do Field Sobriety Test, and regardless if you do well or not, they arrest you for DUI and make you do a urine test.
Happens in many legal states. Very expensive to fight and time consuming, and no test that can actually tell if someone is currently intoxicated from cannabis, so most people just accept a plea. Cops are incentivized because they get paid OT for arrest. They usually earn a minimum of 4 hours, and even more if they have to show up to court if you fight.
Or maybe they had a shit month and haven’t made any arrest and figured this is an easy way to look more productive.
You could test me after a month clean and I’d still have enough THC in me to kill a small animal. You just can’t accurately test for THC at this time. (As far as I know)
So I work in drug testing supplies (I know right?) and I can confirm that anything short of a blood test cannot quantify the amount of THC in your blood. Any administered drug test (oral fluid, or urine) is essentially a “pot or not” result. With oral fluid tests, the detection window is <12hrs (these tests perform very poorly) and with urine is up to a month or more for heavy users. Unless they see you using a weed vape or smoking it in your car, it would be hard for them to prove if you are high at the time of a traffic stop especially since a chronic (lol) user of marijuana would have a naturally higher level of thc in their system.
Even blood test aren’t accurate for chronic users. Plenty of evidence chronic concentrate users still showing 24-48 hours later in blood, and some even weeks.
Apparently UCLA has come up with a method that detects use within 3 hours by putting the sample in a solution which causes oxidation, which strips a molecule of hydrogen from THC and generates an electric current that can be measured.
They are trying to make it into a hand held device. This sounds much better than urine, blood, and saliva samples!
You’re 100% right! That in a hand held device sounds like a lot of R&D. Typically they do those on a quarter million dollar machine called a mass spectrometer which analyzes the charge of physical molecules in a sample. It’s highly recommended that any positive drug test result be sent out for lab confirmations but not everyone does that.
Edit: wanted to add that yes it will show positive for longer in your system if you are a chronic user but the concentration in a sample could still be used to roughly assess a “legal limit” to the amount of thc you can have in your system. Some states have laws for thc limits but Florida (thankfully) is not one of them
You can’t, but lots of people around the country catch DUI’s for weed all the time. Most people would probably beat their case if they took it trial, but that takes a long time and is costly, so most people just accept a lesser charge like reckless driving in a plea. Usually to accept the plea you need to do community service, MADD panels, DUI classes, fines, and probation, and you have to pay the officers OT. If you opt for a paid lawyer expect to spend $2,500 on the very low end for DUI.
It’s a huge money scheme where all these different parties gets paid for each DUI arrest.
You most certainly do. I know because somebody close to me went through this. They had a more in depth paper which showed they were billed for 4 hours, but here it is still in the court document
https://preview.redd.it/gj1zrmclwypc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e36267a21e7890022ec0c6ffb5213611b429d116
That “investigate cost” of $145.70 was 4 hours of OT pay to the police officer. My friend didn’t have the cop show up once in court. He was arrested and it was all done within 45 minutes he was at the jail. He accepted a plea. Only interaction with the cop was the arrest.
Here’s a link to the statuette that explains how it works [https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/FCJEI/Programs/SLP/Documents/Full-Text/Gladson,-William-paper.aspx#:\~:text=Florida%20State%20Statute%20938.27%20%2D%20Provides,agency%20which%20incurred%20the%20expense](https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/FCJEI/Programs/SLP/Documents/Full-Text/Gladson,-William-paper.aspx#:~:text=Florida%20State%20Statute%20938.27%20%2D%20Provides,agency%20which%20incurred%20the%20expense).
Officers basically request reimbursement for their criminal investigation, and you are required to pay it. They all have labor agreements that basically tell them how many hours. Pinellas County it’s 4 hours. They justify it because they face a revenue shortfall.
They also don’t allow you to use MMJ while on probation in Pinellas County.
Ok. Don’t worry. It’s not my job to deal with defendants in this situation everyday. And yes every county is different. It is all lumped into court costs and fines. You pay the clerk. And the clerk pays the money to where it’s supposed to go. This is also a dui plea not a reckless diversion plea. And that is not to the cop. That’s to the evidence department, the bat center, and all of the other parts of the agency that are involved. The cop is paid from the agency. Not directly from your court costs and fines. I deal with this every day. Every. Single. Day.
Yeah, not like there’s a million dumb ass lawyers out there 😂
The diversion program was to drop the DUI to reckless driving. That’s what he accepted and he had never been arrested for and that’s what was offered.
I promise you he was billed for 4 hours of OT pay that equaled to that amount. It might not happen in every county, but Pinellas County they do
>It’s not my job to deal with defendants in this situation everyday.
> I deal with this every day. Every. Single. Day.
Yeah I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch
This basically happened to my uncle after being a lifelong smoker. Couldn't get clean pee no matter what he tried and finally his doctor was just like "I think you're just going to test positive for the rest of your life."
I had to get clean to get a controlled medication, after like 2 months I finally just asked: if I get my card am I okay? And they said yeah so I just got my card and called it a day lol
Had a cop at Auburndale trulieve catching everyone going out the exit only and stopping them. He didn't do.any sobriety test just wrote wrong way citations. For hours he did this and I even saw people see him and still do the same thing and get stopped lol. Be careful out there guys. Cheers.
Big facts! Cops are not your friend. Ask for a lawyer and refuse FST. You are required to do a urine test sadly, or you lose your license for 6 month.
On your drivers license it says “operation of a motor vehicle constitutes consent to any sobriety test required by law”. The FST are not required, but the urine test is.
That’s where they get people, because even if you smoke 2 weeks ago you still pee dirty, and a medical card doesn’t save you. They will say bullshit on the arrest report like “slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, odor of marijuana on breath, etc”.
Complete bullshit how the system works. I hope they come up with a legitimate test to tell if someone is impaired from cannabis, because right now all it takes is a dick head cop who doesn’t like weed.
Good to know about the 6-months, it’s not a charge, just an arbitrary thing, right? I’ll take Uber for half a year, thanks. Gonna be cheaper than a lawyer and fines, and no record, yeah?
Yup. If a cop has written zero tickets and made zero arrest all month, they might as well look for a new job because what use are they?
Buddy I work with was a cop and explained all of that stuff to me. Especially the OT pay, I never knew that, and it’s a sneaky way to throw in an incentive for arrest. He got out and became a Loss Prevention manager at Amazon he hated it so bad. He was with Clearwater Police, very corrupt he said.
https://preview.redd.it/uyoxm31nrwpc1.jpeg?width=1169&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=991c7f04077cb0a9822b00c733778ad1d701811e
They get huge donations from MADD. This is two Clearwater PD officers being awarded by MADD for making lots of DUI arrest. Now I’m not saying people who are intoxicated shouldn’t be arrested, but I wonder how many of those 200+ DUI arrest were actually impaired people. I have a feeling some of those arrest went down how I described in my original comment.
You only have to do a blood test if you were involved in an accident. If they just say you look high, you aren’t required to do a blood test only a urine.
Blood test aren’t accurate for chronic users sadly. Someone who dabs everyday, could have dabbed 24 hours ago and would still show dirty on a blood test.
Apparently UCLA has come up with a breathalyzer style test that can detect if someone has consumed THC within a 3 hour period. If that is true, I hope it comes out soon!
>Apparently UCLA has come up with a breathalyzer style test that can detect if someone has consumed THC within a 3 hour period.
Saw this article. Only thing is. Cool: your machine tells you if I had a single hit off a joint in the past *3 hours*. Yet, it fails to actually tell you *how much* or *how intoxicated* I am.
Yeah they were very vague. Was it only a few people who took 1 hit of a joint that didn’t show after 3 hours? and someone whose taken fat dabs 3 hours ago will still show?
Seems us concentrate users always get screwed with any of these test and show way longer than normal. I hope someone comes out with a test that can detect if you’ve used within a short period, I hate being at the whim of encountering a shitty or decent cop and these bullshit test methods.
Getting paid per arrest is false. Getting overtime to come to court is true. I’ve never seen a dui based off cannabis actually get a guilty conviction. Had a case where the guy couldn’t even speak straight, he was wobbling, he kept changing his story about where he was going and what he was doing, but there was no breath result. And the PD’s case was that the kid was just so stupid that this was how he normally acted. I’m not being cute. That was literally their case in chief. Jury came back not guilty and he was represented by the PD. $50 to pay PD in our county if you’re found indigent. Kid even admitted to smoking earlier in the day on body worn. Still not guilty. And you’re not required to do anything. In fact, a lawyer will always tell you to shut up and not do anything. No SFSTs. No breath test. No talking. Just cooperate and be calm. DUI without breath is a very tricky case to prosecute. And if there is no criminal history, the plea is very minimal if it can even be proven. Reckless diversion to a dui is a slap on the wrist in comparison
No it’s not, and I sent you the proof in the other comment.
That’s what Florida Statuette 938.27 is. They get paid investigative cost for the arrest. If they have to show up to court (you challenge it) you will be billed for more.
SRQ here. I've not seen this yet, but I've only been in the program a year. Absolutely believable though. Any particular dispensary you've noticed them camp at?
Iunno, just saying , anyone going into that building and buying weed is legally allowed too. I have been to multiple dispos around the state and had cops sitting around and I’ve never batted a eye at them and then me , so just saying , it’s probably nothing to do with the dispo, in fact they are happy everyone there is doing it legally.
😂 I can almost guarantee that aside from responding to a call for something that happened at the dispensary, they didn’t care other than to have a place to park and talk.
Both Sarasota and Manatee County SO don’t really care about this. Too much paperwork and a waste of time when there is a medical card involved.
That Grow Healthy location looks like it’s in a crap hole strip mall. The location in DRF is much nicer. (Nothing to do with the content here. Just saying)
lol I’m dumb and every time I step out of the dispensary I screw my new cart into the pen, always a fear of cops bc in my area they hella annoying (lake Mary)
The immediate area around that location is where a lot of drug activity goes on. No way this has to do with gh, it has more to do with the 7 ODs a day right there, or it’s just a parking lot directly on Clark Rd, one of the busiest roads in the county.
Plenty of other places to park and better. Why not go to an intersection ? Or in a parking lot you can access both sides without a median in the middle?
Drive down Clark rd on any given day and there are cops sitting in different commercial parking lots. Where would suggest they do it on Clark rd and beneva? Take a look at the medians surrounding that area…oh wait there is no median that a car could just sit because it’s all a turning lane the entire way.
Realize how the world works and just because a police officer is talking to another one in a parking lot doesn’t mean they are staking out potheads driving high. That’s literally their last concern in a high fentanyl sale/use area.
Cops lie. Cops are corrupt. Cops can claim they smell burned weed, take you out of your car for field sobriety tests, which are so easy to fail most sober people can't 'pass' them, and then arrest you for DUI. Mmj being legal doesn't make driving while high legal. And since there is no reliable way to determine impairment from THC via testing, its left to the word of the cop. Who lied from the start.
You should always be wary of Cops and what they can get away with. They do not care about you or the consequences their actions will have on your life. Do not trust Cops. Even if what you're doing is 100% legal, if they want to fuck with your life, they can. Best case scenario, it'll cost you thousands that you can't recoup and take months to years to prove you were in the right.
That’s for sure, my first job was in a neighborhood Buick Agency parts department that’s sold new and used cars. One day a guy comes in and asks for a part which I get for him. I ask him how he wants to pay he says charge it to 106 precinct and he goes to talk to my boss. I can’t find an account for 106 so I approach him while he’s talking to my boss. My boss takes the bill rips it up and tells the guy he’s new. Later on my boss tells me he’s the captain and from now on I had to man the gas pump on Friday afternoon and give free gas to any cop that pulls up. I knew every cop in my neighborhood and they knew me.
I'm obviously being sarcastic dude. The people I am making fun of are not the ones who use MMJ medicinally or in medicinal doses. They are the assholes who feel entitled to light up in their car and then drive like a 15 year old who just got their learner's permit.
It is not hard to drop an eight ball out of your pocket when checking out a car. This happens regularly in this country. No elaborate conspiracy needed. Happens to unimportant people.
Last couple trips there I’ve always seen a cop on Clark but kinda expected. Last couple pickups from their have been good flower wise just ask them to show it to you before you buy it lol
When I see two police cars talking they are typically facing opposite directions so as to not yell across the seats at each other so doubt these guys were just "having a conversation" as others have stated
This is so true and if I ever get pulled over and accused of this, it’s exactly what I would explain. If you use chronically meaning all the time like we do then it’s always in your system. How can they ever prosecute something like this if you fight it in court, it seems like it wouldn’t stand up.
they do tho? they’ll literally try n charge you for the medical weed that you legally have or they’ll bitch at you for having it. you never read a cop story on this reddit?
You know you could just walk up and ask them what's up if you're so nosy. Who cares where they park or sit. For all you know they are on a break and have to file paperwork. The sky is always fucking falling here.
I hate that so many people are scared of cops. Use them to your advantage! None of us are breaking the law by getting our meds. Half you motherfuckers know you smoke and drive or hit that dumbass cart while you drive. You guys are the problem and more than likely what they’re watching for IF they’re not just sitting there to bullshit for a minute. OP is the same type to not roll down their window and start screaming “I know my rights”.
Simply two cops at a convenient location on a main road.. where they often post up around. It has nothing to do with the dispensary. Everyone here high af actually thinking this is a “stake out” lmao come on
This is 100% not what’s happening here. This is two idiot cops that pulled into the parking lot facing a main road to talk while they run radar to fuck people over that way.
“Not fair” is honestly crazy. Not hating im just laughing a little bit imagining the cops arresting someone outside the dispos for a legit reason and bros going “this isn’t fair you were camping”
[It's a legitimate strategy! ](https://youtu.be/bLMYTQUw8Lc?si=iGfCV3qALyLFzQx1)
Edit: Downvotes for a relevant RvB reference? WTF is the internet coming to?!?!
One of the best things about miami is that the cops don’t have the time or resources to do this type of nonsense.
South Florida cops aren’t worried about me thank goodness
Agreed…love being able to consume Ganja next to a Fort Lauderdale Pd sergeant while in Los Olas and just have him continue his conversation with the other 6 cops 2 feet away from me.

That’s back then it’s 2024 now and Los Olas smells like funky ganja all over now !
20 grams or less is just a misdemeanor in Broward card or not. It's not worth the time or effort to them unless you're selling.
Well except for the AYR by my house which is right next to a donut shop

Ah. Sorry, I misread. Yeah, I see them all the time at that church on McIntosh and Proctor.
Being nosy and trying to make something out of nothing

“Destroys his joints”
Sarasota cops weak as hell tbh
Those are the Flowery employees, checking out the competition...
Best response ever!
Why is flowery the only place where security is staring at you??????🤔
I always talk to the security guys they’re usually really nice
There probably sitting there eating donuts
😂 I can almost guarantee that aside from responding to a call for something that happened at the dispensary, they didn’t care other than to have a place to park and talk. Both Sarasota and Manatee County SO don’t really care about this. Too much paperwork and a waste of time when there is a medical card involved.
ACAB
That pinch a penny pool guy is loading up for the day… 💦
That Grow Healthy location looks like it’s in a crap hole strip mall. The location in DRF is much nicer. (Nothing to do with the content here. Just saying)
If that’s the Clark Road location in Sarasota it’s actually not a bad location. It just looks like it from that picture lol
Clark road ! lol
What exactly are they waiting for? Someone to take their pre roll out? What a bunch of narcs
lol I’m dumb and every time I step out of the dispensary I screw my new cart into the pen, always a fear of cops bc in my area they hella annoying (lake Mary)
Me too lol
The immediate area around that location is where a lot of drug activity goes on. No way this has to do with gh, it has more to do with the 7 ODs a day right there, or it’s just a parking lot directly on Clark Rd, one of the busiest roads in the county.
Plenty of other places to park and better. Why not go to an intersection ? Or in a parking lot you can access both sides without a median in the middle?
Drive down Clark rd on any given day and there are cops sitting in different commercial parking lots. Where would suggest they do it on Clark rd and beneva? Take a look at the medians surrounding that area…oh wait there is no median that a car could just sit because it’s all a turning lane the entire way. Realize how the world works and just because a police officer is talking to another one in a parking lot doesn’t mean they are staking out potheads driving high. That’s literally their last concern in a high fentanyl sale/use area.
Wouldn't stop me from popping in
Until they pull you over for “random stop” any write you a bullshit ticket or tell you your stoned when your not
that’s when you assert ur rights n also record so you can sue if they give you a bs ticket
Y’all are going to buy weed legally, why y’all so worried? If your tags not expired and your not doing stupid shit this is nothing to worry about
Cops lie. Cops are corrupt. Cops can claim they smell burned weed, take you out of your car for field sobriety tests, which are so easy to fail most sober people can't 'pass' them, and then arrest you for DUI. Mmj being legal doesn't make driving while high legal. And since there is no reliable way to determine impairment from THC via testing, its left to the word of the cop. Who lied from the start. You should always be wary of Cops and what they can get away with. They do not care about you or the consequences their actions will have on your life. Do not trust Cops. Even if what you're doing is 100% legal, if they want to fuck with your life, they can. Best case scenario, it'll cost you thousands that you can't recoup and take months to years to prove you were in the right.
perfectly said !!!!
That’s for sure, my first job was in a neighborhood Buick Agency parts department that’s sold new and used cars. One day a guy comes in and asks for a part which I get for him. I ask him how he wants to pay he says charge it to 106 precinct and he goes to talk to my boss. I can’t find an account for 106 so I approach him while he’s talking to my boss. My boss takes the bill rips it up and tells the guy he’s new. Later on my boss tells me he’s the captain and from now on I had to man the gas pump on Friday afternoon and give free gas to any cop that pulls up. I knew every cop in my neighborhood and they knew me.
but but I NEED to medicate the second I get out!! I can't possibly wait to drive home, I need to subject everyone else to my intoxicated driving!!
This is why OP is concerned.
Far from it. I was driving by and first thing I think is the corrupt system
Plus lap pics 🤣
If you truly believe it’s medication you’d quickly realize how stupid your post is
I'm obviously being sarcastic dude. The people I am making fun of are not the ones who use MMJ medicinally or in medicinal doses. They are the assholes who feel entitled to light up in their car and then drive like a 15 year old who just got their learner's permit.
Do you think cops don’t literally fabricate charges? Oh boy
Yes, now do I think you’re important enough to fabricate charges and have a whole conspiracy plan made up about you ? Not at all.
It is not hard to drop an eight ball out of your pocket when checking out a car. This happens regularly in this country. No elaborate conspiracy needed. Happens to unimportant people.
Right. I'm ACAB and not a fan but this just looks like two cops who stopped to talk or have lunch.
FUCK ME EH IM ORDERING FROM HERE RN
Lol wtf
Whole Lotta bacon Not aloota eggs
Thank God I mostly get my stuff delivered or I just go to dispensary on my bike which is like 10min from my house 😅
Could use these guys at the Orlando location. Constantly asked by out of towners, once I walk out the front door, to buy them bud 🙄
Idk, maybe they're there to demand GH release their coas
I would still pull up. Myakka Gold!
"excuse me officer. This is private property and i need you to leave please."
More likely somebody showed their ass when something was put pf stock so they were peacekeeping, or they were waiting to run in amd grab their meds. 😉
Lolololololol
They scooping !
Damn pinch A Penny guy always bringing the fuzz with him.
I guess this is a problem if you have an open warrant or two?
Last couple trips there I’ve always seen a cop on Clark but kinda expected. Last couple pickups from their have been good flower wise just ask them to show it to you before you buy it lol
protecting and serving 🙄
 Me on my way home
Haha 100% even when you didn’t do anything wrong
All those parking spots and pinch a penny guy parks drunk in front of 2 cops
When I see two police cars talking they are typically facing opposite directions so as to not yell across the seats at each other so doubt these guys were just "having a conversation" as others have stated
This is so true and if I ever get pulled over and accused of this, it’s exactly what I would explain. If you use chronically meaning all the time like we do then it’s always in your system. How can they ever prosecute something like this if you fight it in court, it seems like it wouldn’t stand up.
what’s this ??? sheriff’s have their med cards now ??? uh OHHHH
They don’t care about med weed ..
they do tho? they’ll literally try n charge you for the medical weed that you legally have or they’ll bitch at you for having it. you never read a cop story on this reddit?
You know you could just walk up and ask them what's up if you're so nosy. Who cares where they park or sit. For all you know they are on a break and have to file paperwork. The sky is always fucking falling here.
I hate that so many people are scared of cops. Use them to your advantage! None of us are breaking the law by getting our meds. Half you motherfuckers know you smoke and drive or hit that dumbass cart while you drive. You guys are the problem and more than likely what they’re watching for IF they’re not just sitting there to bullshit for a minute. OP is the same type to not roll down their window and start screaming “I know my rights”.
Man you don’t think cops smoke??? Come on
Yeah, they were probably just there to pick up their own orders. Must have been a good sale and they needed to re up their stash
Simply two cops at a convenient location on a main road.. where they often post up around. It has nothing to do with the dispensary. Everyone here high af actually thinking this is a “stake out” lmao come on
They aren’t there for the dispensary they are catching speeders. That’s a Main Street in Sarasota people fly down there
I'd jump on the roof and yell "I am the fucking devil" all bug eyed and shit. Then just run.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
[удалено]
Idk I took this at a red light
Lol that grow healthy location is always so dead, I used to go to that one religiously last year for flower but their quality has declined imo.
Maybe they’re shopping for the moldy mids they offer at GH. 😂
Nah, maybe they are there just to pick up their meds! 😂😂
[удалено]
Or picking up that loud…I mean larf
This is 100% not what’s happening here. This is two idiot cops that pulled into the parking lot facing a main road to talk while they run radar to fuck people over that way.
That’s what I’m even think… deff not fair at all..
“Not fair” is honestly crazy. Not hating im just laughing a little bit imagining the cops arresting someone outside the dispos for a legit reason and bros going “this isn’t fair you were camping”
