Loose tabbacco I brought instead of a pack of cigarettes. I was at the bus stop waiting for the public bus ?

Question

to take me home.

I thought while I am waiting for this bus. I roll me a cigarette.

As I began to roll the cigarette a police officer stood a distance watching me rolling the cigarette, very strange experience.

My question is should I (non-white)have stop rolling the cigarette, solely because of the intimidating gaze from the police officer(non-white) or

Should I have continued rolling my loose tobacco cigarette, using the rolling paper provided inside the bag of the loose tobacco?

Answer 1

i would say to stop smoking all together. it is bad for ur health, but u probably know that, so i won't give u a lecture on smoking. i think you should have continued rolling; since the cop didn't approach you, he doesn't really care what u do, right?

Answer 2

He most probably thought it wasn't tobacco.

You have every right to roll your cigarette, however, usually it is against the law to light it and smoke it at a public bus stop.

Answer 3

I would just carry on rolling the tobacco, afterwall it's not a crime is it? Unless you have added naughty stuff in that roll up, lol!

Answer 4

Never let anyone intimidate you if you are not guilty of anything.

Answer 5

Keep rolling because it would look more suspicious if you stopped rolling when the cop saw you.
