I think they made a mistake, the bag specifically says it's not full of drugs and everybody knows that bags, being inanimate objects, don't have the ability to lie

But cops do. Cops lie all the time.

They need a "bag totally full of drugs" that contained assorted baking ingredients. One bag is too obvious, you need decoy bag. /s

We were tripping balls in college and playing with flour filled balloons. I guess jumping rooftop-to-rooftop got the cops called.

Cops made us turn out our pockets and found my buddy with his flour balloon, about creamed himself.

"What's this?! HUH?!?"

Spitting in his face: "It's FLOUR you fucking PIG!"

Off to jail.

They let the rest of us go, laughing about the drug lab making gravy with that guy's "heroin".

I actually snuck drugs through an airport once. The trick is to put it in a used tampon shell, in a ziplock full of used tampons.

The trick is to put it in a prescription bottle

Drugs are a helluva drug.

I usually travel with a bag of white powder. Zinc oxide for sunscreen. Corn starch for preventing chafing. Ive often considered writing "this is not cocaine" on it

I mean, zinc oxide and cornstarch dont have a smell. Oregano and weed are pretty obvious after a sniff.

Honeslty idk what they can do to quickly test if its cocaine. It would be hazardous for them to taste or snort zinc oxide

To be fair that would fool most cops I've ran into.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Could still be technically correct if the bag wasn’t literally ✨full✨, but maybe filled like 2/3 or something.

[–] BeMoreCareful 3 points 3 days ago

I would have gotten away with it to, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

[–] AnUnusualRelic 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was worth a try though.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 3 days ago

Should have put "definitely a bag full of drugs" on it and then the cops would think she was just being sarcastic and not search it.

Deputies?

I have a hard time believing anything a cop says anymore ever.
