Adrian Peterson faces arrest after alleged admission to smoking 'a little weed' | NOLA.com

Oh my-imagine that-smoking a little reefer while out on bond
I know I am showing a total lack of whatever, but when you've been in this business as long as I have, you're just thankful they show up for court dates and don't get caught doing anything REALLY bad while out on bond.
You have no idea how many times I have to tell these knuckleheads that one of the conditions of bond (or probation for that matter ) is that you can't commit another crime and SMOKING WEED IS A CRIME!!! If it's in your urine that means you smoked it!!! Nobody's gonna believe that you were in a room with people smoking and caught it second hand. You've got to really spell it out for them. Hell they get incensed when they're told they can't drink while on probation for drug offenses. You people in the outside world have absolutely no idea of the what goes on in the criminal justice system-if you did you'd slash your wrists.

Reading the fine print isn't their strong suit.

Fixed it for you.

When your clients tell you that you should tell them you only got their daughter a little pregnant.

After dealing with what you have to deal with daily the misfits on this forum must seem like the Baptist choir on Sunday morning. Two words...Evan Williams. Recommended daily dosage.

I Have a friend who has about 35 people on house arrest. Every week or so they have to give a urine sample to check for drugs.

This women tested positive for Marijuana and said that she hadn't smoked any and must have gotten in her system from having "Sex" with her Boyfriend. Go to jail do not pass go.

That's why these people are in jail because they are stupid.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Not a crime here anymore........

I use to drum people out of the Navy for coming up positive on a pee test.

I lost count of the people who were cited to court for a violation of probation (consuming alcohol with a no alcohol condition) who showed up for their hearing drunk. Or were late for their hearing because the police cited them for speeding, and driving with a suspended license. On a similar note, how many times have you (LEO) searched a house looking for someone who wasn't supposed to be there and heard their replies. The most common ones, when the perp was found hiding under a pile of clothing under a stairwell...."Oh, you looking for me"? or "Did you want to see me for something"? were typical.

I know what goes on in the criminal justice system and, if anything, I'd say you've understated it considerably!

 

[jag312]

Slash my wrists? Not likely.

SMOKING WEED IS A CRIME!!!

What if you don't inhale?

 

[carpriver]

Cage. I worked as a substance abuse counselor. Clients were often court ordered for treatment, I would pee test them as service to the court. I would always ask if the had any thing in their system. They never had anything in them. When the the test came back positive they were surprised. An really surprised when they go back to jail.

 

[labworm]

He was smoking weed

Chase a perp two blocks. Tackle him. Get him cuffed. His famous words. What da I do. Stolen property laying all around!!

Defending the indefinable is hard work.

If only they would help out!

Criminals have an aura of invincibility fueled by habit money needs, clouded thinking from the effects of the drug of choice and live in a dementia zone where they think they are smarter than anyone else.

When I first started apprehending criminals it would be amazing to listen to them blabbing from the back seat while all dressed up in designer cuffs.

I had to ask a few early on. The chief deputy laughed and said I know what you are going to ask,most of us asked too.

Hey Mr and Mr alleged criminal I hear you saying cops are stupid, you say you are too smart to get caught. So answer me this, why are you in cuffs? After they bat their eyes a time or two they say you cops were just lucky.

The Chief laughed and said yep, that is the question. You can ask 100 times and will always get the we are lucky part.

For most of their lives adhering to rules were not, well adhered to. They can do anything and lie or get a small hand slap. Most of the time nothing happens. So when they are on bail, smoke a little it won't be noticed and if it is lie, claim 2nd hand sex smoke joint puffing it ain't me. And they have attorney to take care of a little smoke...

Had that told to the CO at Captains mast once.
I don't know how I stopped from laughing out loud.......

Now here(WA) and CO not a crime anymore......

 

[Hillbilly77]

I dunno Caj, it sounds like you could use a little bit yerself. Might calm you down some.

I've found dope in people's pants and shoes and have gotten arguments during the handcuffing.The argument? "These ain't my pants", and "These ain't my shoes." Oh, in that case, continue on with your business....

I was tasked to administer such tests for some time in the Marines. In the class the instructor goes over the cheats for everything that can be cheated. Many of my peers were very disappointed that I took no notes on such things.

They also put me in charge of the fat bodies, and was often on "suicide watch" duty often.

I don't know if I was really trusted or hated.

Most of you know I'm retired out of the Boliermakers Union. Before I retired, I taught in our apprenticeship program. We did drug screenings.

Now understand, by the time you got accepted in the program, you have been trying for a minimum of 2 years. (Some as long as 6 years) You've been tested, medically checked and have invested a lot of time and effort

I stand in front of the class. I say "today we will be taking a drug test. It is a nine panel test. You cannot cheat. If you have smoked pot or anything else for the last 30 days, you WILL be caught. You WILL be terminated from the program. No fake weenies, no artificial peepee, no chance. If you are dirty, do not take the test!"

The classes always start out 15 folks. We almost always lost 1/3 at the drug screen. We're talking about a lifelong career, Union wages and protection, retirement, medical/dental. It's unbelievable to me.

 

[Mule Packer]

There is absolutely no doubt about it...Americans are becoming dumber and dumber!! Look at the people who are being arrested!! Some of this stuff you just can't make up!

And, to make matters even worse, the dumbness of our society is increasing exponentially because these stupid people are breeding like rabbits!!! Ergo, more dumb babies in the gene pool who grow up being dumb and stupid and who follow the dumb example of their dumb parents.

Y'know, you really don't have to take too many animal husbandry classes in college to figure out that you can't breed two jackasses and get a Thoroughbred.

A few years ago I was asked to drive the neighbors kid to court hearing for a DWI since he had no license and his Dad had an emergency at work. As we proceeded thru the metal detector the kid emptied his pockets into the plastic bin, as he exited the detector the deputy asked him to face the wall and placed him in cuffs. there in the bin was a baggie of wacky weed. At least it wasn't my kid and I didn't have to drive him home..

Criminal Justice System? I think it should just be the Criminal System. Sometimes it seems the Justice part is missing.

Ever wonder why you can't post the Ten Commandments in a courthouse?
Imagine the shock when criminals, lawyers and politicians, the usual denizens of courthouses would look up and read:
THOUS SHALT NOT LIE
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
THOU SHALT NOT KILL....etc.

If you rub yourself with hash oil, you can get high by osmosis.
Uhh....a friend told me that.

Honest, I didn't do it. It must have been in the brownie I got at the deli.

I've found dope in people's pants and shoes and have gotten arguments during the handcuffing.The argument? "These ain't my pants", and "These ain't my shoes." Oh, in that case, continue on with your business....

I actually saw that on an episode of "Cops".
Guy is getting frisked.
Cop asks what the big lump in pocket is.
Guy actually said "Dunno, these ain't my pants."
Cop looks a little puzzled and says "Not your pants? How come you're wearin' 'em?"
Guy says "I picked 'em up where I'm stayin'."
Cop laughs, reaches in pocket, pulls out a wad of crack rocks the size of a lemon.
He laughs some more, and says "Partner, I got some bad news for ya...."

I felt sooooooo sorry for the guy.........I mean, like, really, you know- it could happen.
