In an incident similar to last week's Brits being detained by Homeland Securtity in LA, innocent nice guy, russlesimpson was recently detained by RCMP and put on record as a registered pot head.

"I've never had any kind of record in my life" cried simpson. The incident happened after the not-so-accused received a phone call from a stranded friend (who in an interesting twist, became a "hitchhiker" halfway through his story). Simpson's hitchhiker friend was carrying cannabis when the pot-head pair passed through a roadblock and were subsequently searched.

"If I knew he was carrying he would never have gotten into my car" simpson claimed.

Despite internet claims of being a lawyer himself, simpson is now seeking the advice from an "overabundance abundance of legal beagles" who are for the most part, teaching English in Thailand--curiously, only those of Canadian nationality will do. If you have any words of advice for simpson, please post them on our comments page, as Simpson claims to be free of all other records in Canada.

Like I say, I hate lose ends.

Anyway, pleased I could provide you guys with a touch of humour.

I like stuff tidied up.

I have no real idea of how "untidy" this is.

Anyway it has taken up a lot of mental energy I could have applied elsewhere.

oh well...onwards and forwards.

You sure gave a glimpse of your life, Russ. How did you guys manage to get stopped by the police in the first place?

That is mad!
Has the Canadian government gone nuts?
That would never happen in the U.S., or any civilized country, for that matter.
Canada is truly eating their own.
Bad as the Chinese, you might say.

Standard road block.

I could smell a hint of pot on the guys breathe.

And I guess the cop had a good nose.

Lots of folks smoke up here, as you know...

.........

I guess I have to understand what "being on the record" actually represents.

Neither of us were charged with anything.

This guy I gave the ride to...

I consider him an absolute prick for carrying it in my car without informing me.

I don't think I'll be sharing any more coffee with him.

Very fucking thoughtless and selfish.

Maybe I'll drop down to the cop shop tomorrow and see where I stand.

The cops were friendly.

At the end of this incident, he removed his gloves, shook my hand and said, nice meeting you.

Of course I know that is neither here nor there.......

I think it was for DUI checking .

Three thirty in the afternoon.

Why do you ask?

**cluezo** · 3rd February 2012 11:25

They had a DUI check in the middle of the week in the daytime? What kind of area is it?

**russellsimpson** · 3rd February 2012 11:30

Quiet community.

Police do their job.

I walk that same route everyday. Never seen them there before.

Sure jonny...

and then there's a more serious side.

I'd like to think that I'd be able to cross the border without this somehow popping up.

I'd like to know whether if a police car punches in my license number it won't mean an automatic pullover.

Practical stuff.

Loose ends.

Something ain't adding up here ...

Tell the RCMP you're a member of this forum and if they better expunge your record or they'll have a PR nightmare on their hands. Just tell them that.

I tend to side with the rake.. bullshit story.

If it really is true, you should be ecstatic. If you have a record you will never be able to get into the US.. not that you really want to anyway.
