My headfuck night
Just had my front door kicked in by the police and spent a nasty, horrible night at the station, because a neighbour saw me "carrying a wing mirror" after some local vandalism. I was carrying a hat......... :( :( WTF? Police wont pay for any damage because they found 0.1g of weed on me :( Luckily only got a caution. Need. to. unwind. Drinking wine at 5am now and chain-smoking rollies. Being locked in a bare, solitary cell with no windows for 3 hours is not fun.

The above was just my facebook status update. I need sympathy. Or just laugh I guess.. I'm trying to make sense of a proper bad trip of an evening.

0.1g is hardly Massive Drugs
we only want Massive Drugs anecdotes on /OT.

I can't work out though, how a hat can look like a wing mirror. Find the neighbour and set fire to them.

I had a whole 2g more

The hat/wing mirror bit is weird
As I've mentioned below something doesn't add up.

Why didn't you answer the door to them before they kicked it in?

He was paranoid, and thought it was the police.

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 8:13, Reply)

Nah
He'd smoked all of his weed except the remaining 100mg and was stoned out of his head.

In my ignorance,
How big is 100mg of weed? I had thought it was about as big as a pea.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 8:35, Reply)

Haven't a bloody clue
I've never done drugs, massive or otherwise, and none of my friends are into it either. So I've no idea how much it is, volume wise.

0.1g isnt even enough for a spliff.

So this is the sort of quantitiy that he could pick up in his turnups, while walking down any street in the country?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 8:41, Reply)

it's not even enough for a pipe hit really. it would be a similar size to a pea.
and yes.

I suspect the caution went like this
You are hereby cautioned to have more drugs on you next time we swing round, so we don't have to use a magnifying glass.

About 3 for me
I'm a massive lightweight.
(Mr Big Stuff, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 15:08, Reply)

I was in a room above the garage
can't hear the doorbell from there. They can't have been ringing for more than a few minutes though and they should have phoned the house phone, which I would have heard and answered.

front door kicked in? over a wing mirror? pffft

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 8:29, Reply)

Yeah, doesn't sound right does it?
What were the police really looking for? I had to wait for half an hour while the one cop went over the house, with particular interest in every nook and cranny of my room. He seems to have destroyed my shisha pipe.

Jesus Christ - unlucky.
You have my deepest and most sincere sympathy.

I am struggling with the facts though. You must live in a fucking quiet neighbourhood. Where I live there's no way resources would be channelled into a raid over something as minor as vandalism.

To the extent that I am finding this a bit hard to believe.

If it happened to me
a) I'd be in a shitload more trouble than 0.1g of weed and
b) I'd have a fucking coronary when the door came in so

no, if it's not a wind-up I feel truly sorry for the fellow.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 8:46, Reply)

I feel sorry for him too.
I've had the phone call that went. "Just get rid of everything." I cut it up, and it all went down the bog. and the plant pots went down 14 floors of refuse shoot.

I was lucky as my mate gave up another who was already part of the circle, and I was never implicated.

possession is one thing
but growing plants is kind of silly.

I'm kind of with Monty on this
They generally wouldn't smash a door in just to try and get at someone who might have committed vandalism. Around here I would just get told that it sucks my wing mirror was taken.

It's totally weird
I think there was a lot more to it that meets the eye. I can see why you don't quite believe it. Some facts I've put together since waking up:

- The police lied quite a few times, I reckon. They interviewd a mate I was playing pool with and told him I'd been arrested two days previously. Last time I was arrested was in early '07 for a fairly minor driving offense. The line of questioning kept changing too - at first the police were interested in a completely different area of town. Then there's the "carrying a wing mirror" thing. The neighbour who supposedly reported that lives some way from the spot of vandalism, in fact right round a 90 degree corner and someway up the road away. Something doesn't add up. Apparently this neighbour'd seen me many times passing by and knew where I lived. I don't know
them at all. Something's creeping me out here.

- At four am during the final questioning the police announced that they had an eyewitness account of a shaven headed youth in a tracksuit (definitely not me) kicking bits off cars where the vandalism happened. After this the mood changed and the police became a lot nicer to me.

- The sargeant mentioned ripping up the report like they were embarrassed about it, and then only gave me a warning, not a caution, for the weed, so I've effectively got no criminal record after last night at all. This was surprising after being cuffed tightly then thrown in the cells with little information as to why by two tooled up policemen, one of whom had a stun gun and one of whom had kicked in a panel on my front door (to get to the lock).

- They spoke to me a lot about the cannabis, despite such a small amount being found and it having nothing to do with the offense I was supposedly arrested for.

This is all going round in my mind at 100mph. What the fuck? Luckily I think the police were keen to draw a line under it all and I think I can get the door repaired before my parents get back.

round here the police would break off my wing mirror
to punish me for kicking someone's door in.

I buy weed from the cops...

so I smashed their heads in with the Weed from Bill & Ben.
