Why does everyone think Hamilton is a lock for AL MVP? Cano gets my vote.

Today's C&H (not Calvin & Hobbes) has managed to capture something utterly profound.

http://explosm.net/comics/2197/ is on the level of the brightest gems from the Parking Lot is Full. (Such as http://plif.courageunfettered.com/archive/wc105.gif)

Anyways the interesting part of my night wasnt the movie, it happened before the movie. I went with two of my buddies and my girl. When I pulled into the movie theatre we were gonna smoke a little dubbie before we went in. Right as Im rolling down my window a cop rolls up right behind me, gets out of the car and comes over to us. The back window was alright rolled down and the cop starts talkin to my buddy immediately asking him if he'd been drinking. He says no and the cop immediately asks where the weed is then lol. Obviously we were like wtf are you talking about to the cop and he makes my buddy get out of the car. My buddy had a pipe on him so he gave it to the cop who then starts going through my back pack which was in the back seat because he just knew the weed was there lol. Really though it was in my pocket.

Instead of turning this into a big scene I just told him I had the weed and gave it to him. He was actually pretty cool about it and just took it from me. Gave him my id, proof of insurance / ownership and that was it. While it was search our id's he showed us a bag full of pipes. He said he'd been sitting here since 8:30 and this is what he collected and it was only about 10:00 lol. I guess Im lucky to live in Canada when it comes to getting busted with weed. It was basically a slap on the wrist. I didnt have a lot on me though, only 5 grams. I heard its much worse in the US if you get caught with any amount of weed on you.

I was kind of wondering though after all this happened if the cop had any right to do this to us? I mean what probable cause did he have to believe that we had weed on us when all I did was park my car and roll down my window... I could have just been having a cigarette for all he knew right? I get that after my buddy gave him the pipe he had every reason to believe that we had pot on us but It really was ****ed up. I mean obviously the movie theatre must have calle dthem in to do this or something because Ive been to that same theater a million times, blazed every time and never seen a cop. What are the ****ing odds?
In the U.S., you guys would have had the right to tell him to go pound sand. He had no probable cause to search anybody or anything up to the point your buddy handed over the pipe. It gets tricky after that.

No idea about Canadian law, though.

undercover brothers were cool I thought.

If he smells the weed/sees a pipe, does that constitute probable cause? And how do you establish it if you go to court? Like how would you argue against it?

yeah, if he smells it that establishes probable cause (at least where I live). You can't argue against that in court, really.

Greta rendition of our national anthem before the Canucks game tonite. Did a 5 hour session so I could watch this game. Hope it was worth it.

yea thats what i thought. he literally rolled up on us right after i parked and started giving us this huge speech. i was really confused and kinda worried at the time so i just didnt bother saying anything just let him go on. but like he literally had no reason to do anything to us. If we were sitting there smoking then yea you got us buddy but that wasnt the case at all. we tried giving him the what the hell are you talking about deal but then he gave us the old oh ill call in the dogs etc.

it didnt smell at all, but then again im probably immune to the smell or something. i mean they were obviously looking for this kind of thing and i guess he figured i he put enough pressure on us that we would cave and end up cooperating, which we did. he was cool enough to let us go scratch free, just took the pipe and weed and that was that which was a relief. still kinda pissed becasue i really didnt know what do in a situation like that.

I am actually a little shocked at how well the Yankees have played. The bats have awakened (especially Granderson) and we survived a rocky start by Sebathia followed by 2 gems by Pettite and Hughes.

It really seems that the Yankees are in the Twins heads at this point. I don't know if you saw the stat but except for this game, we beat them the last 8 times in row and every game they had the lead at some point and we came back to win out scoring them something like 42-8 since the point of the lead.

It still is impressive how well a small market team like the Twins has done.

Now hopefully Rays and Rangers go 5 and beat up on eachother. I have no idea who I want to face. Both teams played us tough.

People cave in to this one all the time. Here in the U.S., he simply can't do this. If he detains you while he calls for the dogs, that detention itself is an illegal detention for which he lacks probable cause.

LOL, sounds like you ran into a cop who is too cheap to buy his own stash.

BrockSavage or SammyG, maybe.

Nice series by the Yanks; I am pretty happy about it.

Sabermetrics are fairly cool, but with my dad teaching Mathematical Modelling and Game Theory, statiticians are consider the anti-christ in my household.
10-10-2010 , 12:20 AM
Yeah - was the cop undercover or off duty?


"hey Ron, you got some weed?"
"no. but I've got . . . a . . . . plan!"
10-10-2010 , 07:15 AM
