Two men were sitting in a parked car in the New Springville Barnes & Noble parking lot Sunday night. Police decided to search their vehicle because they were “acting furtively.” This a euphemistic way of saying they looked guilty and they were up to no good! (“2 Staten Island men had $800 worth of steroids, cops say,” March 25)
Cops got wise to the car’s occupants… after they spotted the duo “acting furtively” in their car at about 9:00 p.m., a police source said.
The store was closed for the night, and the two men were parked next to a second, vacant car, the source alleged.
When police searched the car, they found about $800 worth of steroids — pills, bottles and a liquid capsule of testosterone and other substances, court papers allege.
Both men were charged with three counts each of fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
It seems clear the men possessed the anabolic steroids for personal use.
“Acting furtively” is apparently sufficient reason to invite police to search your car. This is yet another reason why it is advisable to “just say ‘no’ to police searches.”
