[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 294663, member: 6546"] Wakeupcall-- I don't think the police realized that you were trying to make an impression on your son. They don't get a lot of that every day. I recently took my ten year old in to the police to file a report (not a major criminal case, to be sure) and officers clearly did not feel it was worth bothering with--until I said to them "[I]Look, I told my son that he could make this report and I think that it is important that he stands up for himself and I have no intention of invalidating him[/I]." With that, the officers spoke to my son very seriously and took down his information and thanked him for coming in to make a report. It was just a few minutes out of their day....but it made my son feel very important and that he had been taken seriously. Officers may not have realized that the incident was so important to you. Plus--I may be mistaken, but I think that there are tons of laws on the books making the use of marijuana illegal--but there are few laws on the books making the selling of drug [I]accessories[/I] illegal. So that beautiful pipe may have been purchased legally in one of the many, funky, hippie boutiques that offer that sort of thing. If that's the case, it wuld make the turning in of such a pipe even less important to the police. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
