Viral Video: 23-Year-Old Woman Stopped by Police, Claims Bamboo is for Toothpicks, Swears Innocence Before Breaking Down—Charged with 3 Offenses

A widely-viewed video posted by the Facebook page 'Subhana Mai V 2' documents police stopping a 23-year-old woman described as 'sharp-tongued' and a student leader. In the 6-minute 51-second clip, officers pull over the woman who is carrying a small piece of bamboo while riding a motorcycle. She claims she cut the bamboo to make toothpicks. When asked if she uses drugs, she responds that she's still a student and wouldn't use drugs. She refuses to allow a search without her mother present. When officers mention they may need to conduct a urine test and arrest her if drugs are found, she calls her mother but says she doesn't answer, claiming her mother is probably foraging for mushrooms. She insists there is nothing illegal and swears an oath. When told to get out of the vehicle, she claims it's not her motorcycle and curses, worried about not finishing school. She begins crying and swears she hasn't used drugs. Officers explain their suspicion is based on drug paraphernalia found on her. After continued arguing, officers go to meet her mother. They report finding the woman riding a motorcycle with drug equipment. When requested to allow a search, she refuses and attempts to flee. Eventually, she admits to drug use. When police search the motorcycle, they find methamphetamine under the seat. She then surrenders to the evidence and is arrested. She is charged with three offenses: possession for personal use, drug consumption, and operating a motorcycle while under the influence of drugs. The video has generated significant commentary online, with many criticizing her for arguing with police before ultimately admitting guilt.
