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.
We see the "It's not my pants" defense at least 3-4 times a year
Last guy that tried it went to trial got convicted, then "multi billed" and is doing 60 years.
I once had a felon tell me that the reason he tested positive for cocaine was because while he slept, his girlfriend smoked crack cocaine and kissed him on the mouth (shotgunning); thus causing his positive drug test.

Not my car, not my house, not my signature, I don't know who titled them in my name, I was just walking by.
Saw the FedEx guy and his trainee come through the metal detector at a federal courthouse a while back. Trainee dumped a bag of weed in the bin and got arrested. As the marshals were leading him off, he asked the FedEx guy "What time tomorrow?"

Over the years I've also had DUI suspects tell me they were too drunk to perform my field sobriety tests. After having just demonstrated a walk and turn for one individual he laughed and said, "officer, I couldn't do that if I was sober."
Thus has happened to me more times than I can count. I'm in a neighborhood, 3AM, a crime has recently occurred and I spot a suspect matching the description of the violator. There isn't another living, breathing, soul for miles, and certainly not within earshot. I say, "Hey man, come here for a minute." He says "Who me?"
My late wife worked as a secretary for probation and parole. We lived in a small town of 10,000 at the time and I knew many of the parolees. It was amazing how many of them after being given every chance world ended up getting locked up over something really stupid. But, mostly it "wasn't their fault" She said most of the parolees where not that smart and I have to agree.

my wife was a paralegal for years. her boss always seemed to be assigned some pretty weird cases. there was one where two "ladies" traded making a sex tape with a large dog for drugs. and yes, my wife watched the video. she almost vomited. there was one guy who got his 14 yr old girlfriend/relative pregnant. he admitted to being the father of the unborn baby, but denied ever having sex with her. he had to defend a lady against stalking or harassing Michael Jordan. it seems #23 hooked up with her in vegas and got her pregnant. but all of the dna tests proved he wasn't the baby daddy. the kid was african american and he was the "only" african american guy she had ever been with.

As part of a court ordered test I was watching a guy pee into a cup. It was obvious he was "altering" the test (I know, it's hard to believe people do this) with a plastic hose wrapped around his waist but I knew all his friends did drugs so I didn't say anything. Test was positive, to which he developed a surprised look and started to say "But she told me....". End of conversation, onward to jail. How to try and rig a urine test? Let me count the ways. Plastic hose (mentioned about), small plastic container, small rubber balloon....necessity is the mother of invention.
From a different angle, almost every Heroin OD that I resuscitated swore up and down, "I never use drugs."
I'd point the track marks and ask what was up with that.
"Mosquito bites." In New England. In January.
"I'm a diabetic, that where I inject my Insulin." People don't mainline Insulin. At least if they want to live.
"I was at the doctor and had blood tooken." Tooken? That aside, they must go to the "doctor's office" several times a day.
And on and on. It did get tedious after the humor wore off.

I had the same phlebotomist that he had draw my blood last time I was in the hospital
Both arms and one hand before she called someone else to do it. Would have been both hands but one already had an IV in it.

Back about 1979 a guy who lived up on the mountain I did went to court for cocaine possession. While at his hearing he had a runny nose.(can't imagine why) He pulls out his handkerchief to blow his nose and a bindle of coke falls out on the floor. Of course he didn't get to go home that day!

I had a neighbor and a good guy. But he also had a tendency to do drugs from time to time. I overlooked it because I really liked him. And he'd go clean from time to time. Then one day he knocked at the front door. My son was home from college (obvious because his car was parked in the drive.) I wasn't suspicious because they did have some common interests (dalmatian dogs). So the son comes inside and says he'd got to take a leak. Still no red flags or bells ringing. He goes back outside and they talk for another few minutes. I had no suspicion that my son was doing drugs, he was a college athlete and wouldn't even drink carbonate beverages because it might hurt his wind.
So Jack leave and my son comes back inside. Laughing. He says "the easiest $20 I ever made". Jack paid him $20 for a few ounces for fresh "clean" piss. Life goes on. But I was really interested in how he did it and how it turned out. Jack worked at a company that required drug tests at random. Well, from random people, he had an inside line on when the random tests would occur. And he somehow was almost always on the list of random people because it was common knowledge he was a recreational user.
So a while later I asked him how it worked. Great he said. He'd purchased a kit that kept the piss warm, and a small tube to piss it out of. It was just kept under his equipment. The tester actually had to watch. So Jack actually asked the guy if he wanted to hold it for him. Generally people that are required to "watch" don't really like that part of their job, and they sort of watch but do it kind of discretely. They don't want to be too close and personal. They might get splashed, stick your face down there and it'd be a sure thing.
So the "sample" is immediately moved to the side and its temperature taken. Its got to be warm, but there's a range. Old Jack had it with his junk all day (kind of uncomfortable.) But Jack kept his job but a few drivers lost theirs.
The truth seems to be that the test can be scammed with enough effort. Maybe once, maybe twice. Just don't play the game too long.

I always love it when they "Swear to God".
"Officer, that ain't mine! I swear to God!"
As if the arresting officer were gonna grab the mic on his shoulder and say "Dispatch, the man swears to God that the dope ain't his. I'm turning him loose."
"Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

One of the best ones I saw, was a guy who led the police on a case while on his motorcycle, after awhile he whips it in a mall parking lot then runs inside and loses them, the police then impound his bike. Well three hours later the guy comes into the police station to report that someone stole his bike.
