well the damn cops around here are giving me trouble i will be 18 in a couple months and they gave me a ticket for cigarettes. A friend of mines dad put a hole in the centerconsole of his car to drop beer cans out of, this is a smart idea to solve something stupid that he shouldnt be doing i know. but would i be able to maby cut out a part of my center console under the armrest or ash tray? Is there anything important under that sheet metal besides the transmission or driveshaft which i figure is at least a few inches beneath where the hole would be.
SO neways to make a long story short where should i cut the hole to drop shit out of and would it even work.

ok so neways how would u know what the hell the cops did yes they did yank me out like i said, why would i make that up. they were in my damn pocket and the damn elmhurst cops were looking for a reason to harass me they then searched the entire car for drugs i told him not to but he said he could look thru what hasnt been closed so he rifiled through everthing. Mind you this happend on a monday afternoon rush hour for only going 10 miles over the limit. just a week later a elmhurst pig had gotten in trouble for racial profiling a black man who happend to be a probation officer, he pulled him over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and pulled his gun on the man and told him to put his hands up and step out of the car. the cop got in trouble for racial profiling got 3 days suspension and had to go to a training class.

If this is true, this is an illegal search. Without your consent or probable cause (he could smell or see drugs) all he has to use is the "Plain view doctrine". That only allows him to search with his eyes, not his hands. Even if he found drugs you would be home free because anything he finds is "fruit of the poisonous tree" Because it was an illegal anything that the search led him to find would be unuseable as evidence. Now all that beeing said I think this is BS and either you are lying or leaving some stuff out.

I don't think you understand how messed up some cops are...Hell I got harassed like that one night too, and the only reason I never followed up on it was because I HAD been drinking, even though he couldn't have done anything about it.

Here's the story, I'll try to keep it short. So I'm coming home from a friend's house around midnight, I had drank maybe 3-4 beers (faaar from drunk). I pull up at a red light next to a fat guy with a cowboy hat on in a crown vic. I was listening to some music, which couldn't have been very loud outside the car since it was coming from the stock system in my mom's Echo...lol...(this was before I had my 240 a few years ago, I was probably about 19.) So the guy screams at me to turn it down, so I do. Then he tells me to roll the window down, shows me no ID or anything that would tell me he's anything but a civilian asshole. Light turns green, I smile and drive off...heh...not fast, not even speeding, but he follows me and flashes his lights the whole way. Now who's gonna stop for a fat ass white dude who's screaming at you at midnight? So I pull in to the Blockbuster parking lot and he blocks me in. I get out, he comes shove me against the car and searches my pockets. When I ask him what the problem is, he says I was speeding down the street that I met him on...BULLSHIT...he asks me if I'd been drinking, i tell him yes but that I'm sober and he's full of crap. He asks for my license, and tells me that he'd "bust me" if he wasn't going to a rodeo...Even though I'd only had a few beers I figured it was best for me to leave it alone, otherwise I might've taken a swing, because he still hadn't ID'ed himself...Anyway, that's about it, except he called my mom the next day saying how he was a "concerned parent", and I was "mouthing off" to him...blah blah...oh, and he was just a fucking private investigator...well I told her the story, she sided with me...

On the other hand, I know a lot of cool cops...it all depends...

um i used to hide my stash in the fuse box right by ur dead pedal in the car. i dont know if a cig box fits because i dont smoke. but try it...it works wonders. gotten through many searches lol its kind of a secret door if u will. but that means u have to put ur shit there before u drive and cant smoke in the car(why smoke in car in first place?) and then get them out when u get out of the car??? hope that helps peace

yes my stash... but then there is police dogs to smell out my "stash" though which i why i want the hole
Where you hide your "stash" really isn't the most appropiate subject matter on these forums. Anyone who helps this kid to find a way of working around the law in this manner are the type of people who say its ok to drive after a couple of beers. Reckless asshole. For once, maybe think about the safety of others on the road, rather than getting caught. :crazyrant

I agree. Except on the part about the beers. If you drink 2 beers you will still be under the legal limit. People who drive on too little sleep/medication are far more dangerous.

Don't get me wrong, I don't drink and drive. But 2 beers won't hurt anyone. Unless you only weigh 95 lbs.
In Nevada, the limit was reduced to .8(or .08. I cant remember) but it something like two beers. But that is besides the point.

The point was that he should've never even asked this question.
