Once walking down the road with a mate smoking a joint, police car pulled up next to us: "Enjoying your spliff? Just don't do anything stupid ok?" and after a little bit of small talk, drove off, just like that.
There are some tempremental bastards out there though!
I think it depends where you live really, I think if you live in a city or a really built up area (which is a city, duh!), they will probably just confiscate it...
...if you live in a village though, they may take it more seriously! :rolleyes:
I believe that they can arrest you, take you to the police station, get a statement from you, strip search you, take a blood sample (including DNA testing), search your home, get details of your communications, charge you, take you to court and make you spend up to 2 years in prison.
They can do worse if its more than half an oz.
I hate the laws in this country... they seem to be there in case some-one wants to apply one, rather than a being a set of rules people are not allowed to break.
Whats worse: if you want to know if somethign is against the law the only way of finding out is by taking it to court (which can only be done if it is illegal)... even by asking lawyers and police you are more likly to get an answer that covers themselves rather than gives you usful infomation.
