A friend and I where driving back from a local college after a few shots not drunk but above .08 like everything was under control. My friend leaves for school again tomorrow and I haven't seen him in awhile so we are parked on this street by his house which is a dead end just talking. We are talking for a solid 20 minuets then a car comes down the street and i see it's a cop, so I kick the car in drive and start pulling out (thought it would be not as sketchy?) The cop put's his lights on and pulls us over. I hand him my license, insurance, registration card, and my fathers business card because he is in law enforcement. He's asking me some questions I am responding fine but they are suspicious it seems. Next thing i know another cop comes down the road...(whenever there is 2 cops it's bad) the second officer approaches the window of my friend and starts talking to him. They pull me out of the car and search me and do the whole hands on head thing and I am not sitting on my car like they instructed me to do with my hands over my head and bright ass lights right in my eyes. Then a 3rd cop comes...Im thinking what the fuck is this really that bad? They ask if i've been drinking i say no. He asks "Then why does your car smell like booze" I reply..."No it doesn't" Than he leaves and goes to talk to my friend. They ask me if any guns or weapons are in the car I say no. (I had a airsoft gun in the car from when me and my friends would play every now and then) There are stray bb's in my car because one time i was going to refill the cartridge and they split everywhere and those things are impossible to find all of them. They ask if there is a airsoft gun in the car. I tell them yes and where it is. Then i get yelled at for "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS WHEN I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY GUNS IN THE CAR?" I reply "I thought you where talking about a REAL gun that could actually do harm to a individual." Then he breaks down the word AirSoft...GUN....and I tell him sorry for the miscommunication. Now I have 100 syringes in the car also which i forgot to take out from when i picked them up. The officer goes "Consent to search the car?" (good thing i got stumbleupon and read up on my rights) I tell him "No because I do not feel comfortable with it." Then they try telling us that we are high and want to search the car for drugs, I tell him my eyes are red because i did a lot of traveling for easter and am very tired and was just about to leave before you guys came. The cop doesn't buy it and insists that we are high...I am still outside on my car arms above my head and shaking. The cop tells me to get back in my car and him and his fellow officers come to the driver side and passenger side window like something out of super troopers and goes "You too aren't doing anything back here right?" I reply "What do you mean?" He goes "You too aren't gay are you because if so we will let you guys go right now" I reply "No" They take me out of the car yell at me about how i have no respect for anyone in law enforcement even though every other word out of my mouth was Sir. They send me on my way...home and safe. Next time i think i might throw the gay card in the mix so you have leverage over the officer and you can just say you feel like your being discriminated against.....gotta love NJ
PS: They put the airsoft gun back in its place...in NJ it is a charge of unlawful possession of a gun to have one in your car
