This from "The Blotter" in Creative Loafing. (The "Loaf" is our avant-garde, bourgeois, liberal local paper): I probably shouldn't be posting shit from the Blotter 'cause it only undermines my attempt to prove to outsiders that Atlantans aren't backward-ass, knuckle-scratching hicks, but this is a good one.
An officer was patrolling Mayson Turner Boulevard. A white SUV pulled into the intersection, and the officer noticed that the driver was holding a crack pipe to her lips.
The officer stopped the SUV and spoke with the driver, a 23-year-old woman, and the passenger, a 31-year-old man. The man shoved something into his right pocket. The officer asked, "Do you have any weapons or drugs on you?" No, the man said. The officer asked, "Can I search you?" Yes, the man said.
The officer found 1.7 grams of cocaine in the man's pocket. The officer asked, "Why did you give me consent to search you if you had drugs on you?"
"Man, I've been snorting all day," the man replied.
The woman was not arrested, since there was no residue in the crack pipe.
