Vicked and archaic !
“special Police stop-n-search operation.”
What’s so special about that? I was once stopped and surrounded by 4 police officers for walking in the rain. Thought I was going to ‘fall over and hit my head on wall’
Funny now, but not then. lol
I just don’t understand it… these young guys get busted left, right, and centre, then get fined astronomical sums of money for having a few grams of herb on them – yet these losers still refuse to change their ways. But they gotta change their ways – to avoid arrest.
Here’s my idea! Don’t carry weed with you when you’re riding around on your bike at night!! Hide it under a rock somewhere.
DUH!!
