e-liquid & being arrested/car searched etc

[Niluvani]

So, I have a random question (that I am sure has been answered before.)(Oh, and its most likely a stupid question, but I am a stupid person, so I'm going to ask anyway!! )

Let's say, I have my e-cig(s)/screwdrivers and/or whatever, with a bottle or two of e-liquid.

What if I got pulled over for (insert reason here), and the cops questioned this "device", and the bottle of liquid I had in purse.

You think it would get confiscated or take me to the station?? lol

I don't know. I'm just watching COPS so I was wondering.

Just tell them you got it from me. At least you'll have good company.

You would just have to simply explain what the electronic cigarette is used for and that there is nothing illegal in it. they would understand.

 

[Krakkan]

Tell them its safe but you threw the crack pipe out the window a mile back

 

[DIRTY 30]

i'm sure most officers have been briefed on an electronic cigarette by now...

There was a post awhile back (in feb I think?) where a person posted that he got pulled over because of the cop seeing him use his ecig and then spent the next two hours on the side of the road while the cop searching his car.

Hahaha <3

Ah well, I was just curious.
It's not like I'd get pulled over or anything...

I got a 30ml bottle of e liquid confiscated 2 weeks ago when I got pulled over, funny thing is that the cop didn't even tell me that he took it...just kind of pocketed it. I realized the next day and started getting really angry.

I bet he thought it was a vial of ... or something, either that or he's using the juice himself...couldn't blame him though it was vapornine's 24mg crisp menthol which is the best menthol I've ever vaped.

As my landlord is also a cop on the Providence, RI police force, and as I got him into e-cigs, and he now tells me that 30% of the force now vapes, I think I'm safe if I got pulled over.

Most, not all, are very understanding hard working men and women who don't get there jollies simply harassing innocent citizens. If they have no reason to suspect you and you simply explain to them what it is, why you have it, and what you use it for they will 95% be completely understanding and move on.

If an officer sees it in your car, and asks what it is. Don't seem nervous or twitchy about it, and don't try and avoid the subject. If they think you have something to hide, they won't believe a word you say even if its the truth.

That all being said, some cops are real dicks, so be careful out there! lol

I'm pretty sure the cops have a Drug testing kit and all it takes is a very drops of the liquid to prove its not drugs. I've vaped in front of cops at my store (RI gas station) and they don't even look twice. Same to say when I'm driving next to them.

 

[MrCowbell]

Tell the cop to take a nice long sip and see how it tastes.

I saw the Parkersburg on your first post, if your in West Va. don't worry about it. Nicest cops around are in WV, we ride in groups of sportbikes, never a problem with the WVA police. Virginia and OH different story. Tell em what it is they won't care.

Hmmm, this makes me think that I might just create an Info Sheet, to give to my sis, and she can forward it around to our Law Enforcement. She works in law enforcement so hopefully if we give them a sheet that gives the basics, and it gets shared...well then no one should have a problem.

But, you're right, there are always those *Machizmo* cops....

Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper assaults EMT in road rage incident. Cop was respoding to call about a stolen vehicle, EMT was transporting patient to hospital. Cop says EMT didnt pull over to give OHP right of way and that the EMT driver flipped him off (EMT denies it), EMT says didnt see cop at first (and can see in video that EMT driver DID pull over some to let cop pass), cop arrives at incident was going to and leaves and chases down ambulance, and then cop assaults EMT (with patient still in ambulance).

Note: in Oklahoma it is against the law to interfere with EMT performance of duties, and a felony to assault one, and theyre not filing charging against the cop. Dashcam video from the cop car YouTube - Full Dash Cam Video of Oklahoma Highway Patrol Assaulting EMT

Just Wow!!!!

If the entire situation isn't bad enough...just imagine if it was your family member being transported in the ambulance.

I work with the PD here in phoenix on a daily basis and the officers have told me that it would give them probable cause to look in your vehicle or to call out a drug sniffing dog. Its all the way they word their discovery of your E-Cig and what they think your smoking out of it. Normally you would have no issue what soever but recently people in this area have started creating there own vape using marijuana as a base. The more this occurs the more we will be harrased.
