Smell your money

If you're going to be handing over a stack of cash to the police and you're a pot smoker, please Febreze the money first:

"A man who went to the sheriff's department to bond out his brother-in-law also ended up in jail when police realized the money he handed them reeked of marijuana.

...Indiana State Trooper Chip Ayers was nearby and asked for the money, she said. He smelled it and then asked Richards for consent to search him and his car, Meyers said.

Ayers found a pipe and a small amount of marijuana and charged Richards with possession. If convicted, he could face six months to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine."
This Febreze strategy is especially wise if you live in a place where "a small amount of marijuana" can get you six months to three years in prison.
