Uploaded by YouTube user Joe Mugga, the clip shows the unidentified officer approaching the vehicle after allegedly pulling over a group of friends due to the fact that the vehicle's rear license plate light wasn't working.

Though this particular officer ultimately realized that French fries are in fact not weed, the difference between the two obviously needs restating.

For the record, these are French fries:

This is a joint:

Carry on.
