If a cop asked you?

would you confess to smoking pot (you had none on you, and of course denied having any in your possession or at home\in the car)
he can't really do anything about it. but he just triing to intimidate you.

if you did and he told you that he was going to press charges if you didn't fork over your stash, and you had him on tape. would you attempt to charge him for uttering treaths? (you legally can seeing as this fits the legal definition)
well clearly the admission/confession was made by an unfair attempt by the officer to coerce you into admission, so the evidence is inadmissible and they'll have to let u off scott free even if u do show them ur stash

as with the threats - dude, u have to be threatened to the extent that u fear for ur safety- so he threatens to bash u if u dont- then u have a claim
no not if i didnt have any on me im good
You can get in a big fat trouble for recording without consent of the other person (in this case the cop).

Cops can ask for 'stash' what he can't do is force you to confess. Cops are allowed to use 'trickery' to get a confession.

He can't arrest you or press false charges or force you into a false confession; but he can really lie to you and let you think he is going to arrest you.

Unless you got the police on tape saying he is going to kill you or beat the hell out of you, you have nothing, only a cop asking you if you are breaking the law.

So be carefull what you do with that tape (call a laywer) because it might be used against you for ilegal recording.
Did you think up this scenario while high?
The answer to your first question is NO for not confessing to smoking pot when in fact you didn't smoke one. He can certainly give threat he is the policeman.

The second one, if you did, and didnot fork out the stash and the officer is demanding that you do, he could personally charge you on mere possession if you have it on you. But if you personally donot have any, what charge is he going to give you? You can't charge him for uttering threat, remember he is the cop that is arresting you. And since you are as guilty as hell I donot think charging him would do you any good in court of law, the principle of the law is when you come to court you must possess a CLEAN HAND, meaning to say you didnot done anything wrong when you accuse another person of any charges, but in this case you did something wrong so if you accuse someone with wrongful things also where is justice between the two? None I suppose.
If you already have the legal background to determine that you have a legal right to charge him for threats, why do you need an attorney's advice?


Answer:
I actually had this happen to me and I just confessed. In my case, however, I was doing volunteer work and I was with two pretty white girls. You can bet that made a difference.

The police officer can legally search you if s/he feels their is probably cause, and there's huge leeway on what's 'probable' cause. You might not like it, but that's the law of the land. If you want to change it hit up the Marijuana Policy project:

or NORML (the less effective political choice, really):

The police officer, after all, is carrying out what is his/her job. If this is not in the U.S., then I have no idea. And in the future, don't smoke and drive.
