Almost Busted?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I was at a rave last night and there was only about 60 ppl which kinda sucked, but was still cool, good Dj's were there.

Anyways an undercover came up to me and asked me if I would give him a "Blow-Up". Of course I just ignored him cuz i knew this wasn't right.

My question is would I have been arrested if I did a little light show for him? Would that be their proof that I was under the influence of E??

I live in America so one of you americans help me out here hehe.

    whats a blow up? and you can't be busted for being under the infulance of e unless u r driving.

    A blow up is when you enhance someone's trip. He meant that he wanted me to give him a light show with my glowstix.

    At house parties blow ups go a little further and include, glowstick light show in front of your face, lots of people massaging you and blowin Vick's Nasal Decongestant. It really does give you a WILD feeling.

    Anyway, I figured it was ILLEGAL to be under the influence and by askin me for a blow-up (light show) that would prove to him that i was e'ing and therefore i could be arrested.

    I won't go back to that night club. I think the whole thing is a set-up, it was sketchy.

    Thanks for respondin <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    For the Americans, don't ever go to the Tomb in Greenville South Carolina, way too sketchy. I can understand busting you for selling it or posession, but they TRY TO START trouble by trying to make you do something that can get you arrested. That's bullshit. I was just dancing and having fun. LEAVE ME ALONE! hehe

    so in america its illegal 2 wave around a glow stick wow what a fucked up country.

    I don't think you could have been arrested, the fact that you're waving glow sticks around is NOT proof that you're on any drug. If they did arrest you then you could sue them because they didn't have probable cause that you were committing a crime. being on a drug is not a crime, but possession of drugs, selling drugs, or putting other people in danger because you're on drugs IS a crime (ie driving while impared).

    I wouldn't go back to that club, but be very aware of what your rights are and what the laws are. Cops can harass you and try to get you to confess to something but they get away with a lot of stuff that they shouldn't, just because people don't know their rights. Believe me, I've seen LOTS of evidence of messed up behavior by cops... not in clubs because I don't go to them, and not to do with drugs because I don't take them... but I've seen cops arresting people on the streets because they look a certain way, searching people's bags without probable cause, etc.

    here are some basics:

    * you don't have to talk to police, FBI agents, or investigators. you do not need to talk to them on the street, if you've been arrested, or even if you're in jail.

    * if the police stop you on the street (or in a club), ask "am i free to go?" if yes, walk away. if not, you are being detained. ask, "can you explain why you are detaining me?" to stop you, a cop must have specific reasons to suspect you of a specific crime (not just a guess or a stereotype). if the police try to search you say repeatedly you do not consent to the search but you do not physically resist.

    you also have the right to ask an undercover if they are a cop, and to request their badge number. by law, they are supposed to give this. if you are calm about it and polite they will most likely realize you are informed about your rights and will go pick on someone else.

    hope that helps! you may want to email the ACLU (aclu@aclu.org) and ask them about specific drug laws.

    Also remember that south carolina is VERY backward and probably has some weird laws, (tattoos and piercings are illegal in SC)especially with drugs.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH! That is the info I needed to hear. For some dumb reason its had me paranoid. But I definately am reading up on my rights because I'm not gettin fucked over because I said something wrong.

    Btw, It is legal to do Piercings in South Carolina but not Tattoos

    as far as i know it's 2 piercings in each ear but anything else is illegal .... maybe i'm wrong. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt; I'm in NC and although the laws here are backward they're not as backward.

    I'm glad I helped.
