Re: Your encounters with the Dutch police

Post by samuraiwriter »

Last year, my wife broke her foot and was sequestered to our room at Voyagers. On the first night, I headed out trying to find a full sized Albert Heijn. Since I was totally bombed, I got lost. I approached two officers and asked them for directions. They were so kind, asking me if I knew where this and that landmark was located. They obviously knew I lied when I pretended to know what they were talking about. So they simply patted me on the back and said, "good luck man."

Later, on my way home after finding the place (blind luck), I crossed their path again. Maybe I was just stoned but they genuinely seemed happy to see me with all my blue AH bags.

My friend who was with me and witnessed the exchange tells me " whatta ya fucking stupid"? Well yes I am, and even more dumb after smoking fine weed and hash.

Years ago, my Sister works for years in Frankfurt Germany, I
was visiting and some friends invited me to come along to
the pink pop festival in the Netherlands.
They didn't have to ask twice :D
Before arriving at the festival grounds we drove to Kerkrade,
and bought some A+ weed from there.
We parked the Bus outside (festival), and before you know it the
bong was lit.
I'm standing out on the street, bong in my hand and guess what?
The Cops roll by, me nearly dropping the bong, having a heart attack :shock:
Stupid me forgot that I'm in the Netherlands, they just looked at me
bong in hand and weren't even slightly fazed by it.
Next to us were some Germans with a frickin' bong that was at least 3 feet tall,
they just started laughing at me :D

Any other time i approached on officer of the law, they were super cool
dudes, always friendly and helpful.

Just Love the Dutch
