A couple years ago I got pulled over while wearing a CB3000 and it was not the usual experience to say the least. It was also not for the faint of heart. I was being a kid again I guess, it was Labor day 2007. The device may have actually saved me a trip to jail. Among the tickets they wrote me were driving under suspension, open alcohol, loud music and peeling tires. I had a case of beer in the backseat with about five missing. Most of the time that will result in a DUI charge. Even under suspension you go to jail around here, but not this time. I can't say wearing the thing actually helped me out, but it might have had something to do with it. They discovered the device when they frisked me. The asked "Am I going to find any drugs or needles that'll poke me or anything like that" I responded "No, unless you count the joint in my cigarette pack". The combination of all this I think saved me from the hooskow. You have to know just how to talk to cops, and you do much better. It's a technique that, unfortunately, I have had plenty of experience with. There were probably other factors, like being a holiday the jails were probably full up, and they didn't want to deal with my "special case" today or something like that. Actually you can get charged with DUI in this state after two beers, and I think if they make that charge they HAVE to take you to jail. So in that way it may have saved me from alot of trouble. It was also in a city where I have no good lawyers and no pull, so I would probably have had to take it. Interesting though, they wrote me a ticket for that joint, but then didn't search my car ! Although I had nothing, there could've been kilos in the trunk, or guns, just about anything. But I don't smuggle, it's not worth the risk. They don't know that though. Sometimes it doesn't seem so, but cops are human too. The old joke about the guy talking his way out of a speeding ticket by saying "My Wife left me for a police officer and I thought you were trying to return her" is something that I think probably has happened somewhere.
