Getting arrested for a little Weed that doesn't even belong to you? Ridiculous. Still smileing on the police photo? Were you high? ^^  | ||

Talking/not talking is irrelevant in that situation. They fucking saw you with a vap, which is kind of hard to miss and sure as shit impossible to hide. If the driver got nothing to hide (ounces in the trunk, a dead body, etc), it's better to talk to the cops in that situation, regardless of where you are. If you don't talk and don't allow them to search, they're just going to impound the car until they get a warrant—you're fucked either way and they'll find whatever you're hiding and you're definitely getting charged with every little thing they can cook up. Allowing them to search may possibly get you off with something stupid, like a fine for obstructing view by having soemthing hanging from your rearview mirror. For the love of god, if you get pulled over for smoking a little doobie in the car, just fucking cooperate if you don't have anything else in the car and you'll have a chance of getting out of it, depending where you are. | ||

It seems like everything that should "technically" work never does because of bullying cops etc... | ||

You might have had to front some bail money (which I presume you get back in your state at the end), but your friends definitely wear the drug charge (or perhaps some form of police caution depending on your local laws) and you dont; based upon what you've said they don't have enough for the possession charge. They're just being typical police officers; they feel slighted because you wouldn't talk and now they're basically charging you just to piss you off. I see this shit all the time. Well done for having the clarity of thought to retain your right to silence. If you are, as the OP suggests, innocent, and the crime you're charged for is minor, what's the harm in telling the truth to the police? They're just people doing their job. I know people tend to forget it once in a while, but the police are pretty useful, keeping the general public safe and all. I've never had a bad experience with a cop, probably because I've never killed anyone, but also because I've never been confrontational. I know what I've done right, I know what I've done wrong, and I don't think we live in such an oppressive state where staying calm and explaining the facts can cause you trouble. | ||

edit: I should add, though, that if you get caught smoking weed and are honest with the cops about it you'll get off every time. I've been caught smoking weed in public multiple times (but not since I got out of high school a few years ago), even while driving. Every time I've been up front about it and level-headed, and I've got off scot-free. Also, when they ask to search you, if you're being reasonable you can simply decline their request. Yes, it works. Just say "I'd rather you not search my car, sir." Easy as that! | ||

So they will ask you questions,if you can't separate their questions from their politely worded statements well that's just sad for you, which you need to be careful about answering if you're stupid enough to incriminate yourself that's your failure. Ofc frankly smoking in a parking lot lol? I do not support illegal actives of any sort but frankly going about your actives like dumbasses wont help you | ||

Also, i really wish i knew more about norwegian law, because i'm pretty sure non of this shit applies to me.... unless i'm stupid enough to sign something incriminating. Then again... we don't really have the jury system, which is just a joke. I really shouldn't get into it cause i dunno enough about it to speak up against a counter argument, but i couldn't help myself | ||
