Yes, it's against the law, but they generally don't test you, unless you caused an accident or something like that.

Hehehe, that's not completely true. Since one year, the cops in Twente(a region in holland) do have special agents, who are trained to see if someone has used some weed(Mystic, wonders how they do it )...... If they believe you have smoked some, you will have to go with them to the policeoffice and they will take a blood sample to proof if you have smoked, yes or no.

I also heard something about a new kind of tests, that they are still testing at the moment. I hope it will never find his way, because this test can still give positive results if you have smoked something the day before.

And that would mean that i am pretty fucked

That's why I wrote "or something like that." You have to be a lousy driver, or smoke behind the wheel, before they would take that much trouble.

I think you can say no to the test and drive on. :idea:
Because the tests are highly inaccurate. Not completely sure on traffic laws, though. I do know that it is illegal to drive under the influence.

They already have tests which can trace cannabis use from 3 months ago.

They have been using these 'tests' here in the states for a long time.....it involves when an officer holds a pencil in his hand and asks you to track it with your eyes, without moving your head. Your eyes, the theory goes, will not smoothly track the pencil, if you are high.

I don't know how much validity there is to these tests, but that is a moot point.

Why is it moot, spice, you may ask???

(Constitutional Law 101)


Because these test are a SEARCH, and according to the LAW, he must have PROBABLE CAUSE for said search.

Tell his ignorant ass NO when he holds that pencil up.

People are so conditioned into having conversations with these bastards that, in the course of the conversation, he ambushes you by holding a pencil up, 999 people out of a thousand meekly comply.


Let me tell you something, if they pull me over, I crack the window about an inch, hand over my license and registration/insurance, and roll the window back up.

You DON'T have to engage him in conversation.

It's none of his business where you're going.

Make him do his job, don't bend over.
