Hum. Well, me I personally like the piss-off factor: the cops KNOW you had something, which is bad enough. And then, they KNOW you destroyed it. But most importantly, they know you know they know, but you don't give a crap. A flagrant touting of their authority. If they don't beat you to death, it'll be very satisfying. The pod jettison idea is interesting, but I'm sceptical: Those guys are always on the lookout for something being chucked out of a car getting pulled over, but if it were jettisoned straight out the front it might work. -TD

yes, this reminded me of another brilliant idea.
Why don't some cars have a little tiny furnace for stash destruction? If you've got an on-board stash and some Alabama hillbilly with a badge pulls you over, you just hit the button and have you're little stashed incinerated. Who cares if the badge knows you USED TO have something on board? Too late now if any trace of evidence is gone.
What's wrong with this idea?
That's rather complicated and unlikely to succeed. A more practical solution would be a pod that can be jettisoned. Dark-colored or camo, rock-like, and indestructable for later retrieval. No cop would notice such a thing fired directly forward after he's pulled in behind you and lighted you up.
Add a radio beacon for easy location after the cop has departed.
