Confiscating Hookahs, Where Do They Go?


Recommended Posts

My friends were smoking on the playground of an elementary school and the cops came and they ran. They left the stem and the vase and a bunch of shish behind. They went back to get it and it was all gone. I was just wondering...when cops confiscate things like this....where do they put it and what do they do with it? Do they secretly go back and smoke a bowl? smile.gif

I second the post that you cant have tobacco in schools. My question is why the f@#$ would you run away? Best case scenario they ask you to leave. Worst case they get a ticket then are asked to leave. Of course I am assuming they are smoking tobacco and not any illegal NHT. Also if your gonna run take your shit with you...

why would your friends run if they weren't doing anything illegal?


in some states its illegal to smoke within 20 feet of a public area (i.e a playground) lol, but if you were all of age, and werent doing anything illegal than it should have been fine. would have probably just told you to leave.

no smoking at a gradeschool zone is #1 reason I can forsee, the second would be a guess...were they under 18?

if you want that hookah back, gonna have to snitch, they ran from cops and thats a crime even if you werent breaking the law

They ran, everything is lost unless they want to go to the police and say they ran away from some officers.............. which im not sure about the US but here i England if you run then youve already broken a law even if you werent doing anything wrong before you ran

most schools nowadays have what are called "drug free zones." this means you cant have any type of drugs on the school property. this includes all illegal drugs, and tobacco and alcohol, since they are classified as drugs. When caught, you can be subject, [and most of the time will be] to a Fines Double ticket. this situation is similar to speeding, or creating other traffic violations in construction zones in most states, in the doubling aspect.
say the usual ticket is $75 for an unlawful position of the use of a tobacco product. since your on school property, its now $150.

my friends are 25 and they dont have a place to smoke because they stiil live with their mothers....i was not there but i heard about it.....and yea....the school has a no smoking policy.....they would rather lose a hookah than get 160 dollar fine and probably go to jail because they are not minors

Around here it's strict on school grounds. Anyone on school grounds after 5, not attending an official ISD event is trespassing.
