Tbf there's plenty reasons other than "robbing you" that people wouldn't like cops, personally mine is "I constantly smell like weed which is illegal here and I don't want to jeopardize my freedom," for some others it may be "I'm black," etc.

That said they can't get mad if you're unwilling to do the deal in another highly public place. If I asked "can we do it at the nearby gas station" and you said "no" I'd maybe think you're overly cautious but that's your right, I'm being overly cautious too about not getting arrested for smoking weed so I get it, "ok good luck, not for me then."

Just saw a video of someone exchanging a bike at a busy WaWa, and the guy jumped on the bike and rode off. Being in a busy public place does not protect you at all.

Besides, the cops have to get close enough to sniff you, and they aren't bothering with a couple of locals in the parking lot handing a guitar back and forth. You'd have to walk all the way out there, and that sounds like work, where are the donuts?

And besides again, it's the 21st century, nobody gives a shit about weed. If you're that paranoid, maybe you should cut back a bit. I've probably smoked your weight in weed, and I've never been that flakey about cops.

Keep it chained until cash in hand, rookie mistake. Also still not super common especially if it's you and a friend, it happens but eh.

And besides again, it's the 21st century, nobody gives a shit about weed.

In your state maybe lol, some states still literally put you in jail for weed, and the cops love doing it because it's easy to catch, not risky like real criminals, and boosts their numbers. In some states you'd be safer open carrying a stolen handgun than hiding an ounce in your bag, they won't get close enough to read your serial numbers but god forbid if you smell like you're fun.

I was pulled over for speeding a couple weeks ago and the pig pulled the I smell marijuana on me. I smoke weed, but I was out of town working. Didn't smoke any. I've never even smoked in my truck, and I didn't have any on me. Clean clothes freshly showered. I got a little rude with him, we had a staring contest, and he went back to his vehicle. When he came back he apologized for accusing me, and still gave me a ticket.

He went on to preach about how if he hadn't said anything that would make him a lazy cop, and a lazy cop isn't a good cop. Motherfucker was about 5'8" and probably close to 300 pounds. Egg shaped. And he's got the audacity to say a lazy cop is a bad cop.

Cops will still try to ruin your life over weed. If he'd decided that I was high, I would've been tested, which would have been positive because weed stays in your system for a month or more, so I would've gotten a DUI. This would cost around $10,000 and cause me to lose my job.

All of this is why I only buy things new or used from stores that ship to my home. I guess it's a form of social dysfunction on my part.
