Police Scotland Charging Me With Possession of cannabis (I have a prescription) 

I see this has been getting so much more views the last day no idea why has anyone reuploaded or something? Still people that don't believe this is completely legal here's a recent script photos.app.goo.gl/k4r7GMRDwm459PEj8

Take them to court. Put a legal case against them because you're entitled to your medication and these idiots should know the law

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The police told me that themselves. How can they get it so wrong. This officer needs to be delt with accordingly. Unacceptable policing at it finest!

This is appaling, complete incompetence and unwillingness to accept they may not understand the law and your rights as a patient. Thank you for highlighting this. The more we expose this kind of ignorance in the Met the greater chance we have of making change. 💚🌱

This is disgusting mate, it's like they missed the memo entirely. Stealing your prescription they must lose their jobs, power complex...

Enjoy your compensation and hats off for staying calm as fuck 💪

The irony of smoke getting seized by a guy that looks like a smackhead is astounding

You have to sign precisely nothing. Just shut the door, they're letting the cold in.

Heart- warming to see such happy, conversational community poiicing. This is a great way to keep the tax-paying public on their side.

They wonder why the public dont trust or want to deal with the police. You'll approach them for help and they'll try and find an excuse ti arrest ya. Including their own family😅

They wonder why they are hated

Instead of charges relating to harmless cannabis maybe they should go after big pharma😉 If you know you know.

What an absolute tool!!!! Well done for keeping your head mate!! Sue the a** off them!!!

Excellent portrayal of modern-day policing........rude, arrogant and ignorant.

So sorry you're having to go through this because Police can't suck it up and admit they're wrong. Hope you get some nice compensation.

The contempt is absolutely ripping out of him. Didn’t even look you in the eye once

What a disgrace to law enforcement. I hope you fight this stupid unnecessary charge. I am a medical patient in California and have been one since 2005, i was pulled over and while the cop was talking to me he said he smelled a heavy odor of cannabis. I then told him im a patient and my meds are secured in my trunk according to local laws. The cop then pulled me out of the car and said he now had probable cause to search my car. I said why do you need to search the whole car? I had already told him where my stash was. He tried to say i was trafficking narcotics etc etc. Long story short i won the case in court and got all my stuff back, they took 147 grams of cannabis and 16 grams of concentrate (hash) plus i had some smoking devices etc. Judge threw it out as illegal search and seizure. It was soo sweet going to the police station and getting my stuff back. When weighed i was short exactly 14 grams flower a half ounce and 6 grams of concentrates, so those cops must have had a party lol. The evidence slip showed all the proper weights as it was checked in, but when i weighed it at home, big time discrepancies. Fuck the police!!! Good luck buddy from another cannabis patient in the states.

Simply inform these incompitants that (A) you will meet them in court and (B) you will prosecute them personally as opposed to police Scotland, ask for their names and addresses ( addresses they won't give but will get the questioning of what they are doing is worth the risk involved . Make sure they are aware their offence is the illegal removal of a prescribed medicine

I'd like to be a police officer but I'd fail the ''must have extreem arrogance'' test😜

Ignornace of the law isn't an excuse, unless you swore to uphold said laws. If someone murdered someone and said "well i didnt know i wasnt allowed to murder him" what would happen i wonder

As always happy to do anything but real police work like visiting people whose homes have been burgled or assault victims or scam victims or even keeping an eye on known child molesters, sex pests, suspected drug dealers and organised crime figures. None of that is as important as bothering people that have a prescribed medication.

They are constantly telling us the police don't have any resources to investigate burglaries but they have time for this?

What an absolute thundermong. Nothing else to add. 🤜🤛

Sue them! As they are so fond of saying 'ignorance of the law is no excuse' that works both ways..

Man, I admire your patience. I would have told him to shove the paper where the sun don't shine and closed the door.

meanwhile around the corner someone is buying Heroin

The deafening silence from them says it all. Absolute Joke of a police force.

What a delightful policeman! Maybe his shite attitude should have been noted during the selection process.....

canabis is a natural plant given to us, yet the governmet mps has shares in canabis farms also it is a very good medicine which helps people with medical problems . BIG PHARMA DOES NOT LIKE PEOPLE GETTING WELL WITH OUT THEM MAKING A PROFIT .

The total lack of professionalism from police Scotland is unbelievable. Can you explain that because i didn't understand? No, we've told you, then they just stand in silence and just completely treat the public with utter contempt.

Poor advert for Police Scotland, they really must do better than this.

The look on his face, like many have said on here it's hardly surprising that the public don't like them or trust them anymore he could have sorted that out so easily with a friendly chat

I dont know anybody on earth who is employed but does not know their job except police. All services meant to help us only are against us

The arrogance of this police officer.

NEVER sign anything the police give you!!

P.S if you have a medical prescription for cannabis go to court. You won’t even need a solicitor, it will just get thrown out. Often the Police don’t even bother to turn up.

Not only English police that are ignorant. However in all of the Scottish police interactions I have seen the police are worse than English.

This is totally mind boggling the incompetence is shocking this guy dressed up as a polis looks like a homeless person

Theft. Does the vape and weed go to the crown estate? Charlie must be well stoked. I hope they return and compensate .well done for shining a light.

Their silence says it all...

If you ask an officer to repeat the accusation and they ignore you, tell em to feck off and close the door

Where is this in Scotland? I'm with sapphire and really worried about having trouble with the police, especially as my MH can flip in an instant with certain situations

Pricks! Well done mate for staying calm. Definitely the best way to approach this situation. I hope this ends up with his force being educated about the curremt laws. Proper maddening!

Turns up and just stares at his phone

It seems that a lot of police training is focussed on projecting authority and not enough on understanding that the law is a fine line not a territory to throw people out of when they look like they might approach that exact line

These 2 goons couldn't face going back to the pig shed to explain their "easy ticket" had a prescription, so they carried on regardless. The looks on their faces and quiet shuffling made it obvious they knew full well they were in the wrong but they did it anyway. What lovely work they do in the community 🤔

how are the police so ignorant? hope yuo sue them for tonnes. that footage is ging to look well embarassing for the cps / mags.

Did i see what i thought i saw?....that this officer fraudulently signed the screen as his "victim" declined to do as the officer refused to explain what he was being told to sign!!!.....😮

These bastards needs to be stopped put a complaint in and see a solicitor take them to court u will win the case and compensation they done the same thing to my mate last year took 10 months for a court case but he won the case and 25 grand compensation 💪🏻

Police Scotland are not fit for purpose.

Honestly what a waste of time for something that makes you eat and sleep loads. So bizarre, people out on the weekends drinking alcohol smashing each others heads in 😂

Think the police should read their rules on how to treat the public, again just another video showing the Stasi Police at their best !!

this copper man , imagine him at somedaes door in glesga maryhill at one of the high rise flats lol

Those pathetic little base ball caps they wear nowadays make them look like silly little school boys. How apt.Public servants? Pah!

They are so incompetent,ignorance of the law they are supposed to be upholding is astounding and so dissapointing

Prescription or not that cops got some cheek charging someone over a bit of herb when he's clearly been dippin into the crack from the evidence room, look at him!

He's extremely rude and very uncooperative.

Tell them their being tresspassed

That is so bloody disgusting. If you have it on prescription,they can not arrest you. That was unlawful.

F@ckin filth behaving like TV license goons ☹ Fair play to you for keeping a cool head and giving them an excuse to prosecute you even more. Good luck mate, I hope you get a nice wedge for your trouble, and with a bit of luck, mr & mrs plod are knocking peoples' doors after Christmas to hassle them into buying a telly license 😆👍

The most arrogant people ever, Scottish police.

This guyis not suited to being a policeman, he is determined to be difficult

Thankyou, goodbye. Send it in the post. 😮

Arrogance at its worst from this copper.

This is ridiculous. The charge cannot stand. You haven't broken the law.

That coppers day was so stressful, he went home at the end of his shift, and smoked the biggest weed cigarette he could muster. Bless.😶‍🌫️🫢😮‍💨🤢🤮

@CuraleafClinic have you seen this? Any comments?

IS IT A NECESSITY TO BE AN ABSOLUTE TOSSER, TO BE EVEN COSIDRED TO BE A POLICE OFFICER?

A clear abuse of power mate, well done for staying calm. The blatant not talking to you and no eye contact, and people wonder why we are the way we are wae the polis in scotland 🤷🏼‍♂️

Need to have a word with the driver.

how pathetic is that!?! .. as I smoke my hash joint here in Toronto .. totally legal you can walk down the street smoke all you want and pass the cops with a big fat smile on your face 😂 .. it's the 21st Century ffs!! I wish that for you my friend across the pond!! 😋

Wow the streets feel much safer with that guy steeling people's medicine. What an absolute tool.

Is This A Limmy Sketch.?? 😅😂😅

Most of the police dont even know the law themselves which to me is a complete joke

The argument that you need your vape is like arguing that your tablets are illegal if you don’t have a glass of water with you 😂😢

Would these knob heads kick in the door of the local chemist and seize the controlled drugs in the locked cabinet and charge everyone working there with possession?

You reached out to a no win no fee lawfirm? They'd take this on in a heart beat mate. These lot have violated your rights and restricted your abilty to be medicated

I take it that all other crime in Scotland has been solved then?

0 respect from the police as usual, who do they think they are thinking there above us all the time i'm sick of it.

This sucks. However did they charge you for posession or someting else such as leaving it unsecured? I know we must keep it stored in a safe and secure place, out of reach of children and such. If you were allowed to carry a firearm, you cant just leave it on a school bus and go home without consequences

Is this Scots squad?

If you have a prescription and your medication is in a container labelled with your name police Scotland officers have to treat it like any other legally prescribed controlled drug and return it. What was the outcome of this situation?

I’d have gone inside and closed the door. Nothing was legal and your rights were being violated. A complete waste of time.

My man, get yourself a cancard they have a whole section with dealing with cops and tells you what information to record, you then submit the form and the legal teams take on the fight for you!! If its legal you've done nothing wrong so don't play their game.

Can’t get the staff nowdays 😂

There you have it folk's......NO WONDER THE POLICE ARE DESPISED 🤬🤮

Get a solicitor and sue the crap out of them !! .

Doesn't it depend on what type of cannabis it is, meaning even if you have a prescription and you bought some cannabis from the local dealer or grew your own then it's a criminal offence as it has not been prepped.

House gets robbed, no police available. This is a massive insult to victims of actual crime. Harassing someone over a bit of pot. What a joke!

Haha he's devastated, do not understand, do not compute, must uphold the law! It will get thrown out in court and the police will be probably dispilined! What an embarrassing vid for the police.

It seems gestapo is not only in the US.....

Does this mean one needs to carry a vaporizer with the medication ? I use a dynavap which is a vape but u heat it with a lighter no need to charge it i fwar police would just think its a pipe...

They do have guidance from the home office, i managed to find a copy and it states that if a police force doesn't have a policy they refer to the guidance set by the home office which states that any medical patient that is stopped has the medication in the original containers, a copy of there prescription and id. Thats all they need. I have had my prescription for 3 years and dodge as if it wasn't legal, even explained to my daughter not to worry if i get arrested when we are on a day out

Nice policemen --- 😂😂😂😂

I can understand how you feel? Interestingly enough for to Fibromyalgia worked for 25 years with, IBS and noe full body arthritis. Cannabis saved me. I am actually on the verge of making an application to be prescribed Medical Cannabis for daily, chronic pain? I know it works. Amsterdam stuff blew me away & I felt NO PAIN for a WHOLE 6 DAYS!!! It's so easy for people to judge if they go not fully understand the huge benefits of using cannabis products. It's far better to feel functional in life, hard to keep me still, as oppose to be sat for hours daring not to move one millimetre, have to lean onto just anything when stood in a queue or have to lay down just to ease something?? I HATE sleeping through the day and RARELY I do it.. Where driving (33 years but sensible) feels much better than walking due to CHRONIC PAIN!! I wonder WHAT THEY WOULD CHOOSE? IF THEY WERE US??

The greatest addiction scotland faces is methadone, need to find out who the dealers are.

The cops super smart 😂

Dregs of the police force today all the good ones have seen the bs harrasment and left the force

Regardless of their incompetence, I have to say, these pair combined have all the enthusiasm and charisma as a dog turd. Not good community policing, no rapport building at all

That sausage is deffo on the brown 😂
