    They definitely thought it was hilarious to keep drugs in that bag. However;

    Officers on Tuesday night stopped a man and a woman driving a stolen car in Southeast Portland, and they found much more than a stolen car

    They broke the most important rule. When breaking the law, only break one at a time. If you’re gonna carry around your fun joke drug bag, don’t do it while driving a stolen car.

      I spent a few years retailing on eBay, selling off my father’s vast collections (he was like a hoarder, except much of his stuff had actual value) and I had a postal scale for lighter objects since most of the things I was selling were not more than a couple of pounds.

      So it looked like a drug scale.

      I used to have to show people that it actually said it was a postal scale on it if they came over and asked me if I was dealing drugs.

    If this dude registered as a Sovereign Citizen, he would have been fine!

    I’ll show you:

    Police: “What’s in the bag? Does that say ‘no drugs’ on it??”

    SovCit: “I never entered into a contract with you!”

    Police: Snatches bag and starts digging.

    SovCit: “Neither the individual nor the STRAW MAN contracted with —- please stop!”

    Police: Tackles SovCit

    SovCit: “I swear this bag is not from the TRUSTEE or the STRAW MAN. It ain’t my bag. Do you have a claim against me because I’m — bro, maritime laws!!”

    Hmm… I guess this doesn’t work out after all.

      You forgot the part where they yelled “Without prejudice!” and signed their bag in blue ink at a 45° angle.

          You should also say/yell “I do not consent!”, because it’s illegal to search or arrest someone without their consent. It was a popular spell a few years ago, but I don’t see it being used much anymore, so it’s possible that the cops have found a counterspell. 😉

      They paid $2000 to a guy they saw on YouTube to learn how to be tackled by that cop.

      I am just transporting a bag. The contents are not officially licensed to be regulated by the state.

    I can’t believe someone would violate the unshaking honor of the words printed on a bag like this

    This is the kind of thing Chief Wiggum would proudly hold a press conference about while the thieves are carting away city hall in the background.

      He must have been. “Trust me, bro” always works with cops. He probably even told the officer, “you’ve got to tell me if you’re a cop. You know that, right?”
