View Full Version : Question for the police
You're off duty on a camping trip lets say with mates and some acquaintances, and one of the people busts out a joint and starts smoking it, and you know theyve got more.
Do you have any off duty responsibilities or just let it be?
If it were me, I'd just ask him to put it away for times when your not there. Being caught with him and having done nothing would be risking myself getting into trouble. But that's just me.

Police are never off duty so they are supposed to nick anyone committing any crime at any time.

Or confiscate it out of 'duty', and smoke it all yourself.

What he said.
Like someone said, we are technically never off duty, it's why we have rest days and not "days off" and I certainly wouldn't be risking getting myself into trouble for the sake of a pal having a joint. If I can't see it or smell it, then I don't know it's there.......

Really? No random drugs tests in the force then I take it.

LOL! They won't last long soon....mucho's talk of bringing in random drug testing!

But would you really be risking it if you were out camping in the middle of no-mans land?

Yep, anything could happen, some sort of accident might happen an emergency services could be called, resulting in police attendance....
Just because you are unlikely to get caught doesn't mean your not going to!!!
Too much to lose over the sake of some weed IMO.
I'm sure if you're in the middle of nowhere and emergency services were called or turned up unexpected, you'd see/hear them approaching, plenty time to dash a joint.
If police turned up lets say and smelt it in the air, would you get in trouble if they know you're a policeman/woman and did nothing about it? Would be a tad harsh on you imo.

Yes, we could get into trouble if we are associated with illegal drugs in anyway, shape or form. Not being funny, but it's not really your opinion that counts when it comes to that though, that's down to my bosses!!
I've said what I'd do and I'd do it regardless of who I was with or where I was. Suppose it is a matter of principle aswell.

I was initially very surprised to find they don't already do this. But then again, I'm not really surprised at all.
Like Loz, I know a few that smoke and that includes Sgt's and an Inspector.

I guess some forces have a different view I was tested twice of course negative for everything. When I was on some heavy duty pain killers I was thinking, if I get tested now that machine is going to light up like an xmas tree:smt025
I noticed that someone said "what if you go somewhere its legal?" Its called bringing the force into disrupute, which you can be fired for.
Myself my mates knew what I did for a job, but a issue was never made of the fact thus I never had problem. Anyways what you going to do go arrest everyone at party?

Bringing force into disrupute? Twisted logic if police aren't allowed to consume a less harmful drug than booze in a place where it's legal to do so?
Anyways what you going to do go arrest everyone at party?
Exactly. If it' puff puff pass, and the people refuse to put it out what could the officer realistically do? Just up and leave if they feel that uncomfortable I suppose.
Like Loz, I know a few that smoke and that includes Sgt's and an Inspector.
Bet they enjoy a few quick busts.

ok -go to texas on hols, visit a house of pleasure, where its totally legal etc, pay your money -legalised prostitution-disrupute????
That's a slight different type of example.
Put it this way, a policeman can go to amsterdam, drink booze (drug), come back and he's fine. He could also go to amsterdam, consume weed in one way or another, which would be less damaging to his health, come back and bring the force into disrupute?
What because some politicians decide they don't want to listen to science and medicine and deem something immoral, even in a country where you're allowed to do it. I think the public are smarter than that, who here would judge a police officer for smoking some weed abroad?

I hope they haul themselves in as soon as they've had a bit too much to drink on a rest day.

At a mates house a long time ago, I worked and ridden with him for 6 years before he became a copper. He would smoke at any opportunity.
So we had a few beers and some of his mates turn up. didn't know them from adam, but all his mates I had met in the past were game and we carried on drinking. So I rolls one and gets a right bollocking from my mate. Turns out his mates were all job. Didn't stop one of them shouting to pass it his way.
