When I was younger, me and my group(s) of mates were always getting stop and searched. Even if we had nothing on us, one friend always carried a knife which is grandfather left him, but he never used it nor threatened anyone with it because he was not stupid.

One night the police were doing a random stop and search in the area we were all picked out even me. I think it was because we looked something from The Crow, the copper said things I smell weed and need to search all of you something along those lines.

We all knew about the knife but being friends, trying protect the knife and the friend who owned it. we allowed the copper to search all of us and told owned up to smoking weed even if we didn't. When the police the searched the friend with the knife they didn't find the knife. He very carefully and sneakily put the knife in our back pockets one after the after when were being searched. He is one crafty bugger but he never harmed anyone or anything even today.

If you don't want the police to search you don't look dress as something from a movie, don't act like a moron, don't speed and let the police do what they have to do.

I have been pulled over twice; but I didn't act like a victim or say "what did I do ?" I just got on with it and sat in the car or stood by the side of the road, and yes was annoyed when I to had £100 when he told me about a faulty break light.

I have had more problems with security guards or shopkeepers when CD's or DVD's set the alarm off - due to the tags still being on which was not removed during purchase, I have also been followed and questioned numerous times in the alcohol aisle, I am not going to buy any wine or whisky at random and different stores have different brands. So I like to take my time when buying booze.


Also if Tubs can kneel on my neck for 10 whole minutes then don't fentanyl if you want to live.
