Crazy Pull-over
I work at a nice restaurant as a dish-washer. It is solid money and works well with my college hours. After work tonight, my co-worker asked for a ride home. It was near where I was heading, so I agreed.
He asked if we could stop by 7-Eleven so I agreed once again, since it was still on the way. After he came back, we headed toward his house. On the way, a black car was following us, right on our butt.
"Seems like a cop is behind us" I say.
"naa, I dont see any lights" my co-worker replies.
Low and behold, as I turn on his street, blue lights come on and 2 other police cars suddenly appear. I figure it must be something silly, and was not nervous.
The officer comes over and asks for licensce and registration, as usual. I comply and he asks if I am ok. I say I am fine, just a little jittery since I have been pulled over (this is only my 2nd time). He asks me to step out of the car so he can search me. I comply, even though I'm not sure why.
He searches me, asks if I have any weapons or drugs in the car. Of course I don't, but then I realize my CO-WORKER might have something on him, which frightened me. This was probably the reason he pulled us over. He saw my co-worker exit 7 - Eleven and he followed us all the way. I don't know much about the background of my co-worker, but he is a nice guy and I never have had problems with him. So, I hop in the front seat of the officers car and he starts questioning me (what school do you go to? Where do you live? What is your major?). Every now and then, he would ask the question "is there any marijuana in that car?". I answered each question confidently and told him he had nothing to worry about from me. Meanwhile, several officers were searching my car while another was talking to my co-worker.
"what about your partner over there?"
I explained he was a co-worker and I was simply giving him a ride home (I pointed to his house ahead). He asked if he had any drugs on him, and I said truthfully, "I have no idea".
Turns out he had remains of Marijuana in some lint, but thats about it. The officers thanked me for my cooperation, lectured my co-worker, and they left.
So, we got back in the car, and I breathed a sigh of relief. My co-worker wasn't even nervous at all. He simply said "glad thats over". I was too, but I did ask him about the marijuana. He told me truthfully he smokes every now and then.
I asked him to please try to keep that at home if he wants a ride home from me. He understood, and I took him home.
Needless to say, It was the craziest pull-over in my life.
