In VA if you have them on you without a prescription IN YOUR POSSESSION, you are going to jail. You can present the script later but you now have a felony arrest on your record.

My wife takes them and I make sure to remove any 'stray's' from the car before I take it anyplace.
I know they aren't mine and I am pretty sure the PoPo would be upset should they be found during a traffic stop. The wife has so dang many on her at any given time that it is probematic to carry them in the original bottles. I just hope the arresting officer/deputy is understanding.

Just keep them in their bottles. If you get them in bulk, ask the pharmacist to label a small bottle for you.
They will usually do this if you explain it to them. I would not shove a handful of vicoden in your front pocket and go for a drive. |

The pharmacy gives you a tear-off card with your purchase. Fold that up and put it in your wallet. You can also peel the label off the bottle and stick it to a business card and put that in your wallet.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile But if you dont and an issue arises, I think when you go to court, you will be able to prove without a doubt that you should have had them on you. I honestly do sometimes bring just a couple so I dont have the whole bottle with me in event someone breaks into my car or whatever and I am out an entire bottles worth since I am on a daily regiment for pain managment. I do take the labels off and put them on smaller bottles too to alleviate having a bigger bottle with a bunch of pills in them, so if it does happen, they only get a few and I will be fine for the month. |

They really have no business doing DEA type stuff like playing with your meds - if they do, it's not because they want to bust you... it's because they want to steal from you. Nobody would be allowed to touch any pills I would take for sanitary purposes - if they have a valid reason for suspicion then they also need to follow hygienic handling procedures. However, mixing different pills in something they can see in is asking for trouble. Using an Advil bottle was good 20 years ago - but now there are people who have careers based in enforcing laws which shouldn't be necessary. One problem is, that taking the meds required while away from home can lead one to hauling large quantities in several original containers - risking those meds to loss by heat and theft, along with dropping them or whatever. Since docs don't believe anyone these days, your loss can be painful, or even lethal event. Use an alternative method of carrying meds and lose your reputation by an arrest picture on the Internet - and it doesn't matter if you are just a patient since you're breaking the law. |

If you have them in your possession and can't prove they are legal and belong to you at that moment, you will most likely be arrested and go to jail, once you get to the jail you will have to bond out to get the paperwork to prove they are legal. So you could easily spend the night in jail, and have to pay a bondsman, and possibly even need a lawyer to prove to the DA's office you are legit. Its a huge hassle to keep those things in original packaging, but the hazards of not doing so are too great.

I think you misunderstood me.
Nonetheless, common sense laws make our life easier by catching and penalizing and deterring negative elements in our society, e.g. rapists, murderers, drug addicts, street racers, vandals, etc. I think it's quite reasonable to have to present evidence that your drugs are in fact legal upon questioning (, of course in a legal process during which such a question would arise. Stop and Frisk is stasi/kgb horseshit. If you're puled over and the cop sees a pill bottle, sorry dude, I have NO problem with him asking you for a prescription.) You have registration on your car, I carry a carry permit, etc etc. Quoted:

Yes. You can leave the bulk of your RX at home, but keep a couple in the original bottle if you need to. Be sure to label whatever you leave at home, because it is easy to put pills away, only to find some unlabeled ones later on and wonder what they are, or how long they were put aside. I copy pretty much everything of the RX label and put it on the container at home. If you use a hairdryer, you can warm up the label from the pharmacy, copy it, and put it on the ones you leave at home, then return the original pharmacy label onto the bottle you keep with you. I don't like keeping alot of meds in the car, but I think it is always a good idea to keep one or two days worth of important meds in the car in case you get stranded.
Meds that it would be wise to have a couple of days worth in the car (depending on your needs) Blood pressure meds anti seizure meds diabetic meds chronic pain meds heart meds stomach (antacids) meds almost anything that not taking will cause problems |

you've strayed from your argument to assign an invalid extension to mine.
your inane extension regards NEW laws, not the enforcement of EXISTING laws. drug laws exist, this is part of their enforcement. 10 round mag laws, when/where they existed, could CERTAINLY be checked in the same way. When I was in NY we were challenged at the range MANY times by LEO's to check our mags. I sure wish you would've been there to tell them no. the argument behind all your posts is that you want ready access to opiods and narcotics. that's not the point here, as they are ALREADY illegal.

Quoted: I've taken them thru airport check in with no problem in a zip lock bag, probably not the smartest thing to do but o- well When flying, I use 2 zip lock bags. I place all prescriptions in bag #1 (in pharmacy bottles/boxes) - then turn it upside down and place that in bag #2. This eliminates potential accidental spillage - but more importantly it allows anyone to see in - and there is no accidental access or spilled pills. If TSA were to start to open bag #1 - then Houston, we have a problem... and a fuss would be made before bag 2 is accessed. First concern expressed would be hygiene, then necessity. |
