happy dayz *no personal attacks!*
Plenty of evidence that passive smoking in the enclosed space of a cars can have a very strong effect, so it would be entirely reasonable to assume the same effect with weed. Enjoy your holiday, maybe you want to chill out someand ???? LOL do you think hes going to get so intoxicated from inhaling abit smoke from from a spliff ahahahaha....

You're now on the police system as a stoner. They will pull you over whenever they feel like it. The copper wasn't bluffing. There isn't anything you can do.
Whatever you do, don't lose your temper whenever they pull you over, however hard it may be. It will just make it worse and they will start to tug you for a laugh. Just go along with it, don't be awkward with them, and it will soon pass.
Live and learn lad.
This made made me chuckle. OP, have you got a E46 cab by any chance
He speaks the truth. I've never had a run in with a copper, except once when i was drunk

Wow, 8 pages and no-one has bothered to mention that the law on weed (and for some odd reason it's only the law on weed) holds the owner liable to prosecution if they knowingly allow someone else to smoke weed on their premisis.
So if you're holding a party at your house and you see a guest smoking weed and don't get them to stop or leave you commit an offence.
Your car, your premisis, you have comitted an offence. The officer knows that you have comitted that offence because the car stinks of having been smoked in, but there isn't enough evidence to arrest you for it because that evidence has all been smoked away.
It's a fairly obscure law, not well known at all but it's pretty clear cut.
That's why you've been put on the watch list, unfortunately ignorance isn't a valid excuse.
I'm not going to roll out the "drugs are bad mmmnkay" crap that others in this thread are wheeling out as it's just a bit of weed (no I'm not a stoner, I've tried some once on a company trip to Amsterdam, paid for by the company, seriously. It was alright I guess, harmless in moderate doses, but not something I'd want to do regularly and certainly not risk a criminal record over) but you do need to be aware of that particular law if you want to hang around with stoners and cover your arse.
Thing you have to realise is the coppers are just doing their job, they know you broke the law and now they want to keep an eye on you. Pretty understandable really. Bad luck, be more careful before you hang around with lawbreakers lest you get tarred with the same brush, and all that.
The flytipping thing is just the icing on the cake

Depends on your perspective. Sure there are laws I dont completely agree with, but if everyone just stuck to the ones they like then we'd have anarchy. I'd personally be ashamed if I had any sort of criminal record, whether I agree with the legislation or not
This, TBH, sums it up perfectly
If that's the case and you hadn't done anything wrong, then surely just let him get on with it without overreacting would work fine?
same in any job i suppose. You'll always get the eejits
you'd be naive to think the police were immune from this sort of thing.
Danger is of course, if you presume the officer who pulls you over is going to be one of said eejits, and start giving him the mouth, you just make life harder for yourself as the decent cops just give you attitude back.
Actually before my run ins with the Police I was naive to think that the respect = respect thing actually works.
The next time I'm pulled I'm not going to be rude, but I'm certainly not going to incriminate myself by answering any unnecessary questions either.
I know that there are loads of great cops out their doing the beat, but my run-ins with the bad ones are enough to make me develop this sort of attitude.
Oh god. "The race card". I expect the Police treat you like a moron because you're one of these who think they're so clever and they're "fighting the power".
And what do you mean "you're not going to incriminate yourself"? How is answering simple questions incriminating yourself? Have you done something to incriminate yourself? As soon as you start becoming vague/obstructive/"not wanting to incriminate yourself", the police get more suspicious and waste more of your time trying to find out what you're hiding. If you're just being obstructive and haven't actually got anything to hide, then they'll still be wasting your time and become less polite with you.
Cop: Hi mate, just stopped you because your brake light was out at the back.
Joshy: Um. Ok.
Cop: Is the car registered to you?
Joshy: OMG LOL NO COMMENT!!!
Cop:
Joshy: Why did you pull me over?! Is it cos you're a RACIST!?!?!
Cop: Ok, out of the car...NOW.
Look familiar Joshy?
Seriously, stop acting like a tool and making everyone's life difficult, be yourself and just answer the questions. Oh and take that stick out of your arse, and that chip from your shoulder.

Like I said, it's a pretty obscure law. I only know about it because when I kid I was really really bored one time and there was nothing to do or even read. Only thing was a bunch of course material on drugs that my mum was having to study since she was a youth worker at the time. They covered it in the notes and covered it again in the mini exam type thing in the air. The example was that John was in his house and his son is in the living room with some of his mates. John is not smoking cannabis but is aware that some of his son's mates are, has he comitted an offence. The answer, of course, being yes.
Of course, it may have changed as since then it's been decriminalised and re criminalised, who knows what kind of disaster area the law on it is now.
We could have anarchy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In anarchy we have liberty, which is arguably something that is being gradually eroded from current society.
You have to think; WHY can't you smoke marijuana? Who gives anyone the automatic right to tell you what to do? The former chief government scientist on the issue criticised the government's decision to reclassify cannabis to Class B from C, and he was eventually sacked by the Home Secretary because of his evidence-based opinion.
We should be born with the liberty and freedom to smoke whatever we like, and only evidence that it's seriously harmful could ever be justification for removing that liberty. I think it's a far more serious moral crime to support the encroachment of liberty than it is to have a few puffs, and for that reason I make my own decision and do as I please.
You only have to look at some of the laws that people have lived and still live under to see that the law being the law is absolutely nothing to do with it being right.
Reminds me of my uncle's brief period volunteering for the specials. He quit since they were basically being used as glorified traffic wardens.
In one operation, there was roadworks on a major route (might have been the North Circular, not sure) and many people were diverting the wrong way down this one way street to avoid them.
They parked a car across the end of the street, stopping a line of about 30 cars, and then went up the line on foot handing out tickets to each driver.
About half way up he gets an earful, "You're only stopping me cos I'm black. You're a racist" etc. etc. etc.
You can argue about the validity of the operation all you like, but that situation was probably the most groundless accusation of racism I've ever heard.
Malcolm McLaren* died LAST week....
*I say that as I'm sure I read the above more or less as a quote of his in one of the published obiturarys.....
Well they log every number plate anyway. It's just that he might (if he is actually on The List.) flash up on the police on board ANPR making him more likely to get pulled.
@OP - meh, you'll find out soon enough if you start getting pulled. Just make sure you don't have anything you shouldn't in your car.
And maybe have a think about letting people smoke weed in your car? Not because of the smell etc (I happen to think cannabis smells nice) but more to stop this sort of thing happening...

And we wonder why the rest of the internet hates the OCUK forums.....he let his mates smoke weed in his car, big deal, he hasn't committed an offence, they have. If the police thought he had taken drugs why not test him? To mark the car is unjustified. End of
We do?
And anyone with an ounce of sense would realise that they'd end up in some kind of strife if they were stopped, irrespective of who broke the law
I think it's acceptable to have reasonable suspicion that if the driver is stupid enough to let people smoke drugs in his car then he's probably the kind that'd do it himself, so it's not unjustified.
