A distant family member is a LEO for a big city near me. One of his work stories is about a college student stumbling down the road. He put this underage student in the back of the squad and asked him a few questions. The student started crying and told him where the party is. He let him go but they busted the party. They let the little fish go and caught the big one.

I, myself have done this same thing on a number of occasions. The way the drug laws are enforced in most of the courts makes it not worth the effort.

THANK GOD for good manners and discretion in LE. It SAVED my sorry teen aged behind a time or two, probably keeping me from ruining my life and helping to pave the way for me to be a lawful Taxpayer today.
I am thankful, though a little chapped, that LE have to view We The People through the calloused eye of the Mean Street in nearly every situation. Perhaps that is naive on my part as I have not experienced LE in "every situation". This is not contradictory to being thankful for their discretion. What I mean is, I am NOT the ENEMY but have been pulled over a time or two and treated as if I were. I suppose it is a "situational" thing.
I have had several LE neighbors. They could not (would not?) decompress with us in the neighborhood. They were ALWAYS on guard, never being "real", or "down to Earth", or "likable", or "friendly" and kept all of us in the neighborhood at arm's length. These LE's didn't "work" our sector of the County either, so it wasn't like they needed to say aloof in the case of needing to do their duty toward one of us. OR maybe it was in some way for them. I just didn't get it. How can you take the job home with you every day and not decompress. That'll kill you!
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
My wife's son was on the SWAT team here a few years ago before he moved to Nashville. He still stays on guard when visiting and is always watching.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Here the cop would have been just a nice guy. Possession of under an ounce is a citation and prescription pills in the wrong bottle also a low grade offence. She probably got a ticket for traffic and a nice warning.
