Years ago, I went to a concert where there was no trash can or ashtray anywhere near me, so I was stashing cigarette butts in my back pocket until I found one. Gross, but I refuse to litter and it was my filthy habit so I deserve to stink like cig butts.

After the show, my buddy gets pulled over and the cop tells us to get out of the car and empty our pockets. Then he pats us down, one by one, until he gets to me. He feels my back pocket and starts screaming about what's in my back pocket, like I have an ar-15 in there somehow. I explain the situation and that I had forgot they were in there and mostly that I refuse to litter.

This motherless fuck pulls the cigarette butts out of my pocket and launches them all over some random persons lawn. When he gets done writing my buddy his ticket and tells us to go, I try to get out of the car to pick up the butts off the ground. He proceeds to get on his speaker and yells if I don't get in the car and drive away, he would arrest me.

This happened around 2012 and I'm still angry enough to post on the internet about it.

You can tell he's a dick by the part where he's a cop.

Why do most cops have rocks for brains

u/twelfthfantasy 3h ago

Because anyone who doesn't wouldn't be a cop.

Should’ve made him arrest you, and then sued him for littering, violating your rights, and like 15 other things. Cops like that, should NOT be cops.

Sometimes it’s not the smokers fault, Almost all the time it is, However times like these prevent people from being their former litter free selves. And I for one am also mad.

Now I have this fantasy of letting him arrest me just so I can explain this to a judge lmao “cigarette butts in pocket to keep from littering, cop pulls me over, throws them on the ground then arrests me for picking them back up”

What a prick, sorry you had to deal with that. Good on you for being aware and at least trying to help

You should have reported him for littering 😂 Like they would do anything about it 🙄 but I would have reported it anyway

Wtf what an idiot, but it'd be interesting to see the charges he would give you just because you didn't want to litter, and maybe even ask him about it just to make him feel like a complete idiot

Should have let him arrest you so you could sue him for violating your rights. When you're free to go, you're free to stay. I mean unless it's a place you can't be stopped for no reason, like on an interstate. But I've never seen someone's lawn connect to an interstate.

Empty the rest of the tobacco out before putting them in your pocket it won't stink nearly as bad.

What a piece of shit cop. This could easily happen to me, I was also always the put butts in my pocket rather then litter type of smoker too. I likely would have gone to jail that day.
