Sorry guys, but you can be arrested for it. That doesn't mean it'll stick.
Hell, you can be arrested for general jackassery, but that doesn't mean you'll serve time.
You weren't driving, so there's no way it would've stuck. That doesn't mean they won't haul you down to the station. You can be arrested for anything, but convicted is a different story/
I'd rather share the road with stoners than drunks. How's that old saying go? A drunk will run a stop-sign, but a pot-head will wait for it to turn green. LOL Cracks me up every time.
I don't know where you're from, but this isn't a law anywhere that I've heard of. They might pull one on you if you're acting all sketchy, or you're being noncompliant . Where did you hear that?
That's a good question. I've had a similar discussion with an officer in person and he said that it happens, but he has a job to do. I can understand that.
I seriously doubt it. Police officers are the only people who can defend themselves without going to jail or getting sued, so I'm sure they feel a lot less vulnerable than we do.
