- squishee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+56The cops were suspicious as soon as they saw that the ice cream truck only carried Ben & Jerrys.
- Jazzillion, on 10/11/2007, -5/+45"The 36-year-old suspect was jailed on marijuana and child support charges."
Not to be a buzz kill, but clearly the guy couldn't afford child support on just an ice cream person's salary. He was 36, not like it was a summer fun job. Poor bastard is stuck in prison, his child doesn't get support or free ice cream, and people go without their medicine. Justice? Who wins? - in2deep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+37haha.....man that would be trouble....smoking dubbies and having an unlimited supply of ice cream!!
- brainovermind, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33I worked in construction to help put myself through school years ago and it was common knowledge amongst workers that the food/ice cream vans all sold drugs. If you ever see any at large jobs, there are always two runs at the vans. The first is for the food/drinks, as a few wait or linger for a few minutes. Then the second wave hits. This was common in a couple states I worked in. I've also known ice cream trucks to frequent raves in California during the early 90s for obvious reasons. You didn't really think they made a living off of ice cream did you? I'm old.
- Phrag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31Ok, selling pot out of an ice cream truck was a cool idea when it was in Nice Dreams (it was also kind of cool in Friday, but Big Worm is a bad dealer). Now that the movie has been out for 25 years or so, I think all the cops have seen it and its time to get a new idea.
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24Was he making rounds at 1AM with his music going? That's what some of them do here in Orlando. They'll be in the most run-down of places at night selling "ice cream" to adults. And in the winter when it's 40F out. Apparently they've ran out of Common Sense awhile ago.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26Where the hell was this guy when I was in school???
- afruff23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Eh, it's better than scaring children with a bear in the back of the truck

Ooh I wish I could Digg you up several times for that comment. Well said. - Smeed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12And only the Cherry Garcia flavor at that.
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Don't you sell marijuana from an ice cream truck in GTA: Vice City?
- Ndiggnation, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Dubbies? You want to smoke breasts?
http://www.sex-lexis.com/Sex-Dictionary/dubbies - nevesis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Someone took Cheech and Chong a little too literally.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082163/ - TheN0ble, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10His name is Big Worm, from Friday.
- FredoBerfil, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I don't know why someone Dugg you down for that. The cops *do* smoke and use the ***** they confiscate.

- freakk123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Can anyone say "Vice City"?
- inertic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Nice Dreams!

- BenFaist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5If only it were that easy...
- LucasKane, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Yo what up Big Perm!
- novask, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6You know when you buy drugs you support terrorism. I always loved those commercials back in 02/03. Its funny but I bet you if we legalized weed today, half of the people in jails would be released and the "anti depressant" drug companies would go out of business. But you know, weed = murder and years of government research means more then personal experience.
- FrozenGonad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Is the cop allowed to search the van just because he thought he could smell weed?
- ZephyrNinety, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11Later that night, police authorities decided to make their own brownies with the Marijuana they confiscated.
- benspicklepark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Big Perm! ...err I mean Big Worm!
- flaterates, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Eskimo Pie, and a quater please!
- camintmier, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So that's why I've been seeing the Cheech and Chong "Nice Dreams" truck lately...
- kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I lived in Manchester, UK whhile at University. The Icecream man was like the one stop drugs shop. You could get anything at all from him.
- AZTriGuy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Funny, just today Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man" came up on my iPod.
- yetihairball, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Actually, no. You're wrong.
Cop asks to search your car. You say no. He says, "You trying to hide something?" You say no. End of story. Your refusal does not give probable cause.
Now, you're in your car and he smells weed. Exigent circumstances (Carroll Rule) says he can search your car without a warrant. - DestroyFascism, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Imagine a village square where smoking hooch was legal and all they sold was food, had outdoor live music and hooch....now that's living!
- Phatlip012, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The ice cream driver in my town got busted a few years back for selling crack out of the ice cream truck.
- Bizzzzzzle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I used to drive an Ice Cream Truck up here in Vermont, you do the math.
- Mofo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yes, and even if he didn't he could always say he did. Cops are given a sample at the academy of what the mota smells like so they know for just such situations to justify probably cause.
- sp4zzj4zz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You're forgetting Phish Food!
- DrunkenPirate34, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Even if you say "No, you cannot search my car" that gives cops probable cause to search your car. They will often reply with "What are you trying to hide?". Your best bet would be to simply say "Are you going to charge me with something or am I free to go" and never directly answer the question. The cop will get what your poking at, but it will not give him probable cause to search your car.

- silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2common sense comes in vanilla?
- Synchro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Just tell the cop, civics class taught me to never to give up my 4th Amendment rights.
Same goes for them wanting to come in your house. we can talk outside. While I have nothing to hide, I do value my rights and want to stick up for them. You should too. - madm0nk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Is everyone that lives in Brooklyn a narcissist?
- domomike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Wow... This is NOTHING. Where I live (in an upper-class small city in California's bay area) the local ice cream man was arrested for selling REAL AK-47'S OUT OF THE ICE CREAM TRUCK. The story didn't even make it to any major news casts. NO JOKE! He sold various weapons and I believe he sold marijuana too.
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1When in supply.
- 35263526, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good for you! Getting people jailed people for selling rocks is AWESOME!!!
- gravyboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1In Toronto you can get pot chocolate, and buy organic marijuana cookies at a couple of cafes.... This isn't surprising...
- bIuebonics, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2and... where did you get narcissism from exactly? you do know what that word means right?
- grapfx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was thinking the same thing. HA! Where's my money bitch?
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Exactly. It's like that here in Philly, too.
- datagod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Well, my favorite flavour was always "Heavenly Hash" !!
- Cludgo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i put some cannabutter into ice cream once, very oilly, very yummy!
- Zedoriah, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What? Just pot? The last place I lived in down town the "ice cream truck" delivered way more than that. I'm surprised they had any ice cream at all. At the time my neighbors had a 7yo. When the truck came by I'd step out and walk with him to get his ice cream and walk him home... never trusted the ice cream man.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Treats for the whole family. What's wrong with that?
