My apartment complex = Tards

So today they replaced the windows and sliding door in my apartment as part of an ongoing project for the complex. I left all my hookahs in plain sight without thinking twice about it. I got a call from the office at about 2pm saying I needed to call them back. They apparently were told there was "drug paraphernalia" in plain sight when they went into the apartment.

In order to sort it out, I had to go after work with a wikipedia article about hookah printed and a pack of Starbuzz to prove I wasn't running a grow-op in my apartment.

1300 units in my complex and nobody had seen a hookah before?!?

You know, I am afraid of the same thing happening in my complex by leaving my front blinds open. It's amazing how uneducated people are............

Once in Arizona I spent a 8 days in jail when I small town cop noticed I had a narghile in the car. I got arrested and I had to stay in jail until lab tests in Tuscon confirmed that it was just used for tobacco. I later sued the police and a few thousand but it all went to a lawyer.

Geez. That makes me want to take my Mya out of the car. I usually take it everywhere, but now that just makes me paranoid.

Yeah, I had a pretty bad experience being held without being able to call anyone and getting assaulted by some cops over the same thing. Very bad scene. I had a big thread about it here a while back.

that's rediculous Hajo. I smoke in my car once in a while and one time 2 cops pulled into where I was parked. I blew monster clouds out the window and they never came by to hassle me. I'm not paranoid but I just don't want to meet one of those cops who have no knowledge and zero tolerance.

It's rediculous when people overreact about things like this.. maybe we should ALL carry a paper letting people know what it is we're doing if this sort of thing happens so often..

I had an experience with the police where they busted on my friends place. The majority of the guests were under 21 with alcohol. Those above 21 didn't say anything/ I was sober and smoking hookah. The cops approached me rudely and accused me of smoking a ********* ****.

Ignorant people just irritate me.
