I spent a few years retailing on eBay, selling off my father's vast collections (he was like a hoarder, except much of his stuff had actual value) and I had a postal scale for lighter objects since most of the things I was selling were not more than a couple of pounds.
So it looked like a drug scale.
I used to have to show people that it actually said it was a postal scale on it if they came over and asked me if I was dealing drugs.
They definitely thought it was hilarious to keep drugs in that bag. However;
Officers on Tuesday night stopped a man and a woman driving a stolen car in Southeast Portland, and they found much more than a stolen car
They broke the most important rule. When breaking the law, only break one at a time. If you're gonna carry around your fun joke drug bag, don't do it while driving a stolen car.
Security through obscurity. Not the best practice.
If this dude registered as a Sovereign Citizen, he would have been fine!
I’ll show you:
Police: “What’s in the bag? Does that say ‘no drugs’ on it??”
SovCit: “I never entered into a contract with you!”
Police: Snatches bag and starts digging.
SovCit: “Neither the individual nor the STRAW MAN contracted with —- please stop!”
Police: Tackles SovCit
SovCit: “I swear this bag is not from the TRUSTEE or the STRAW MAN. It ain’t my bag. Do you have a claim against me because I’m — bro, maritime laws!!”
Hmm… I guess this doesn’t work out after all.
They paid $2000 to a guy they saw on YouTube to learn how to be tackled by that cop.
LOL the investment pays for itself. Surely it will work next time!
I am just transporting a bag. The contents are not officially licensed to be regulated by the state.
Ah yes Straw Man, drug kingpin
"Aww get out of here you rascals! Don't let me catch you again!"
This is the kind of thing Chief Wiggum would proudly hold a press conference about while the thieves are carting away city hall in the background.
I wonder if the dude who got caught with it was dumbfounded that his plan didn't work.
He must have been. "Trust me, bro" always works with cops. He probably even told the officer, "you've got to tell me if you're a cop. You know that, right?"
I can't believe the bag would just lie like that!
I can't believe someone would violate the unshaking honor of the words printed on a bag like this
5d chess.
Meth chess
Now I want to see two meth heads play chess, itll either be the most riveting game of chess or a gladiatorial matchup either way I am entertained.
