Driving with gear in the car

just drive he speed limit where a seat belt and you'll be fine. odds are you won't get caught. a buddy of mine had a wreck with gear in his car. he had it in a lunch box under the food in his back seat. when the cops came to fill out reports he started eating out the lunch box and started offering the cops some oranges and apples from the box. he said he felt that bringing out in front of them like he did would make them thank surely there isn't any contraband in it.

mail the gear to yourself at your to-be location or hide it very well in the car.. unless you're in some kind of real deep shit they won't try so hard to find anything.. just checkout a little.. so u don't have like.. a corpse in the back wrapped in sheets or something! and be cool at all times.. if u look like freakin' dopeman sweating at the border, with your stash in your ass they'll be suspicious! but just be cool and polite and you're green

I'm very lucky that i live in a country where sterioduse and shipping, transporting for own use is legal.

Listen to this story that Rick Collins told in his book Legal Muscle: He said the guy had a trunkload of gear. The cop pulled him over for some bullshit offense because he had out of state plates. The cop wanted to search, but the man declined, and kept declining. They brought the dogs in and he heard the dog guy say "damnit we got nothing" Next thing he knows the cop is telling him to open the trunk. He replied that the dog didn't bark. The cop said "this is a different kind of dog, open the trunk" ....Busted. Fuck da Police

Which brings up another question: How can dogs be used as a legitimate form of establishing probable cause? I mean...its a fucking domesticated animal which can be manipulated...am I wrong? You can click your tounge and illicit a response from a dog if you train it to do so....right? And again...with a cops word in court held as golden...they could search anytime they want to.... FOX

Had another thought on this issue. Why not put your stuff in a small priority mail box, address it to yourself, and as soon as you put a stamp on it a search warrant is required to open it.

A person and a car are not the same thing. Some good and some bad advice. First, a person can be searched to secure the officer if you are in his charge. If you are detained, or arrested, but not just because you were pulled over for trafic violations. You car can be searched, but only the area of control. That means what the driver has access to. The trunk, and locked glove compartment are not within the driver's control. If you have to travel with gear, lock it in a bag, or tool box and put it in the trunk. You do not have to give consent to search! If you do, you may with draw the consent at any time during the search, but not after something is discovered. Best not to give consent - don't sweat the dogs and gear. Never try to fly with your gear - your civil rights don't make it in to the airport with your bags! The new anit terror laws are a bitch!

Alright let me give you the real deal-I am a law student but have many relatives in law enforcement. An officer when he pulls you over his task is to obtain license, registration and insurance. He's obviously going to ask you if you know why you were pulled over and tell you himself why he did in fact pull you over. When you get pulled over an officer will normally run your plates first, see if there is any odd news about the vehicle's history. While you are in the car-DONT MOVE!!! Cops will always pull you out of the vehicle, search you and then the car if you are moving around in the car. Sit there with your hands on your lap or steering wheel and wait for the officer to approach your window and asks for your paperwork. Now when the police officer is there looking at you he will look around in your car, but obviously what's in plain view. REMEMBER: THE OFFICER HAS CONTROL OF ANYTHING IN YOUR IMMEDIATE GRASPS-SO WHEREVER YOU CAN REACH IN THE CAR THE POLICE OFFICER HAS THE RIGHT TO SEARCH AND HANDLE ANYTHING WITHIN THAT AREA. Most of the time when a person gets pulled over they really won't ask to search the vehicle because they do need probable cause. The only problem with this if you deny him the right to search your vehicle, it's what is called a "double whammy" because no matter what now you just gave him probable cause. It's definitely a severe trap and fuck over situation. Most states will allow you to exceed the limit by 5 mph, but overall keep up with traffic. If a cop is behind you, don't look in the mirrors much. If anything, hopefully you wont get pulled over but if you do-act cool, calm and collective. Obey the officer in every which way, greet with Sir/Maam and most likely he wont search your car. But don't play "too calm" because this will lead to suspicion. Just play it by ear-don't disrespect the officer and s/he will just do his or her job by giving you a warning or ticket and avoiding the search.

You are only going away for 1 week. If you are using a long acting ester, you dont need to bring anything with you.

Two words buddy: TOOTHPASTE TUBE. Pack a suit case. Just keep the real toothpaste under your seat. Priority mail is a FEDERAL thang baby. Try keeping your carryon to a minimum, and avoid the obvious. Keep your oils separate from pins. Get yourself an unopened INKJET cartridge kit sent to you for those. Include your pins there. Put your oils in your tube.

i've been pulled over with a lot of gear on the back floorboard in a bag and pass through checkpoints with dogs about once a month. nothing has ever happened. the dogs are 4 feet from the gear and don't know it. just act cool and nothing will happen.
