Cop Asks Driver: ‘Why Is It That Everyone Who Plays Frisbee Golf Smokes Weed?’

After a routine traffic stop involving a busted headlight, an
Ankeny, Iowa, police officer asked the car’s driver if he liked to
play frisbee golf. The driver responded in the affirmative.

Then the cop asked, “Answer me this question, why is it that
everyone who plays Frisbee golf smokes weed?”

Things quickly went downhill from there. The officer followed up
his question with a number of confusing statements and half-hearted
attempts to trick the driver into consenting to a search of the
vehicle (“You can’t tell me you’ve never smoked weed before,” “How
much weed do you have in the car tonight?”). The stunned but savvy
driver, keenly aware of what the cop was doing, maintained that he
had no drugs on him but would not be consenting to any searches
based on the habits of other frisbee golf players.

“Just because I have a disc golf bag does not mean that every
disc golfer does have weed,” said the driver.

After a two-minute interrogation, the officer left without
performing a search.

“Oh my fucking gosh,” said the driver’s passenger after the
encounter had ended.

Oh my fucking gosh, indeed.

A video of the incident was posted to
Youtube. Local news channel
KCCI.com followed up with the Ankeny police department; Chief
Gary Mikulec apologized for the officer’s line of questioning and
said the matter would be investigated.

Watch out, frisbee golfers. Video below.
