"Improper Lane Usage"

I think we all know what that means... it's the catch-all your-getting-fucked-now in cop lingo, right?

I once got stopped because a 'civilian volunteer' reported that I had 'failed to stay within my own lane'. Ya, right.

yep, thats gotta be the most used excuse, along with 'you seemed to be weaving a little'.

Troopers received permission to search the vehicle

why??????

You can have Cannabis in Texas and get away with it, you just need to use your head and not act like an idiot. There are lots of intelligent people in Texas that use Cannabis, I know some of them. Idiots are nationwide
