Cops was filmed on location

[Sad Society]

I'm sure we've all seen an episode of cops on T.V. before and I don't know if the bill coming into CA will ban use and posession of ecigs, but I know that it will ban the sale of them.

I was thinking that I don't want to be on the next episode of Cops. You see all those people who get pulled over for some minor moving violation and then they are being hauled off to jail for having drug paraphernalia.

Cop: Don't you have anything in the car I should know about?

Citizen: Just my Ecig, and some juice.

Cop: Please step out of the car slowly and put your hand behind you back.

That may be an over damatization...but would if you were going on a road trip and you were driving in CA and you wanted to make sure you had enough supplies for your trip. Then you get pulled over and they find bottles of juice and ecig accessories. When the new bill takes effect...could they arrest you for intent to sale?

That may be over dramatic too but it's a scary thought.

I seriously doubt it. If it's all for your personal use then they have no grounds to arrest you. In fact, if they DID arrest you, you could sue them.

What if I'm driving with a carton of Djarums in my car. Can the cops arrest me? Of course not. Same difference.

[Sad Society]

But it's not illegal to resell Djarums as opposed to ecigs when new CA law takes effect.

I wouldn't be declaring anything. That is just admission of guilt if it is a banned item.
This is semi-off topic, however one of the best ways to avoid the situation you are talking about is to know your rights when dealing with the police, and use them.

Search google for this: flex your rights video
You should get some results including a video titled: BUSTED: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters

I would suggest watching the first 15 minutes of this video and see how it relates to you. Then do some research to find out how applicable it is.
Warning: The acting is kind of cheesy.

I never thought about that. LOL Being out of touch, I would never have known if the ban came down while we were road tripping.
We were just on vacation to Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and So Dakota. Husband got a ticket in a speed trap in Utah (watch for speed limit signs in Hurricane!).
My passthrough was hooked up, I had +40 ml of liquid in about 7 bottles in assorted flavors and levels, all my PVs & parts, at least 2 chargers for each of my PV models in an aluminum case on the back seat of the car (my failure phobia is showing).
THAT could have been a very interesting conversation if the cop had noticed the case and questioned us. In fact, when I think about it I'm surprised he didn't notice it because it looks like a padded hand gun case.

Its funny I was going to say the same thing. I've seen those videos and they are absolutely true. You should know you rights and never admit to anything. Never consent to any searches, even if you don't have anything to hide. Never let yourself be intimidated by police. Police intimidation runs rampant in NJ

yes it is.

Djarums are cloves, which have been banned for sale in the US by the recent "anti-flavoured tobacco" bill. they will be under the exact same law as ecigs - you can own, use, eat, whatever.. them.. but you cant sell them.

I'm afraid to vape in my car in fear that a cop will see me...pull me over....and take my e-cigarette away.

I wouldn't worry about that now, they're perfectly legal for the time being.

In the future? Just get one of those ecigs that looks like a cigarette, that's what i'm gonna do. Then you'll just look like you're consuming large amounts of toxic, carcinogenic cigarette smoke-- perfectly legal

I just bought a pack a a little under a week ago. Djarums are now sold as Filtered Clove Cigars. It states this on the pack. I bought Djarum Blacks.
