I am so mad I could spit!!!

Oh My Holy God!!! Excuse me, but that is just ridiculous. And you are right, it is a case of not having enough to do! I grew up in a small town and so I completely understand what happened to you and also know that if you were in the city it would NEVER happen.

I would be so pissed I would spit nails. I'll tell you what, I know you are supposed to carry controlled meds in the original containers, but both Gary and I carry them in unmarked containers, and it never occurred to me that anyone would actually arrest you for that. I've thought that if I ever committed some other crime , and they found the pills, that I would get popped for that too, but NEVER thought about anyone arresting me for that offense alone. Gary ALWAYS carries both pain pills (narcotic) and muscle relaxers in his wooden pill case in his pocket because he never knows when he might need them. LOL! He's gone through the airport security dozens of times with that wooden pill box in his pocket!!! OMG! I don't know what would happen if they tried to arrest him!!! He might go bonkers!

Judy, I would be horrified, mortified, pissed off and innumerable other things too. And I know what you mean about the police blotter in the new paper! Everyone looks at it in my little town to see who's mad at who or who's kid did what. I hope with all my heart that he can keep it out of the newspaper!!!

I'm so sorry it happened to you, that is just a crock of sh!t !!!!!

[Blueyes]

Well you aren't the only one that carries narcs in a little white pill bottle Good grief...I just went through airport security with excedrin, muscle relaxers, and pain pills in a bottle together, and the drugs aren't even prescribed for me. I keep them in case Mike needs it and forgets his!! Arresting you was totally uncalled for!!

[gja1000]

See Judy, we all do it. LOL! Betsi, you might go to jail for the rest of your life for all those drugs! But never fear because Gary and I will be right there with you! LOL!

I know it wasn't funny AT ALL Judy, but the point is that everyone does it (well LOTS of us do), and to be arrested for it is just plain STUPID!

[Shada]

Wow Judy!!! How horrible!! I am guilty too. Easier to keep a few pills all together in one bottle. Had no idea it was against the law!!!

Good luck to you. Hope the charges are dropped when you take the proof you need/have to the court.

I bet you were mad!! I got arrested years ago myself. Stupid, I was at a local establishment. The manager didn't like me. Oh well. I didn't like her either! Wasn't there to see her. Anyway, she told me to leave. I refused as I was in a public establisment. Doing nothing wrong. To make a long story short, she called the police. I sat there and waited... because I was doing nothing wrong. Well guess what? I was arrested and taken out in handcuffs! The charges were dropped when I told my story to the judge, but name was in paper and was such an embarrassment. Everyone saw it as I live in a small town.

A few years later she lost her job due to embezzling money. Love Karma!!

OMGoodness!!! This happened to you for real!!!! I kept reading and waiting for the punch line........I thought that it was a joke.....that surely no one really went through all of this!!! I would be soooo furious!!!! I hope you go in and tell the judge or whoever that this is so ridiculious!!!!! I carry some meds in my purse too that are in a little Ziplock bag......so I guess that I can plan on being arrested for that next time I get stopped!!......Stupid laws!!!!!

[Janet]

I carry 'drugs' too....so what jailhouse do you ladies want to rock??? LOL

I know you can laugh at it now Judy, but I bet it kind of scared you too didn't it. Stupid stupid laws!!! I'm glad you didn't make a break for it, but if you ever need to....I'll keep you hid from them lawmen!!

[judy]

Now I am worried that the judge will be an a++hole, and make a big fuss about this! I know I can only be fined, but my fears have me sitting in jail already! I also really do not want to be questioned and speechified to about the dangers of narcotics, driving and drugs, etc., etc.

Do you remember when I told the judge in Traffic Court in NYC that he was a moron? I am so different up here. I do whatever I am told, and speak only when spoken to, and with a pleasant smile on my face! In rural America, it seems that you are guilty until proven innocent, and then they fine you anyway.

[gja1000]

LOL! I had forgotten that you called the judge a moron! LOL! LOL! You are right though, DON'T do that in rural America!

Don't fret, it will be OK.
