HTNGAF when you get in trouble

No, just... no. Give the right fucks ahead of time, and make sure that the wrong fucks won't be required of you later. It's not as if you are breaking just laws that are enforced by perfect paragons of order, and as part of being a part of society you must accept punishment.

"Various illegal substances." A crime cannot occur if there is no injured party. The illegality of cannabis in specific is a result of Hearst not wanting to have competition from industrial hemp for his pulp mills. He was friends with Anslinger and their actions and associations created most of lies surrounding it. The Office of National Drug Control Policy is mandated to oppose any attempt to legalize a controlled substance and will lie to do it.

The police were created as a means to break up worker's gatherings in England following the French Revolution, a means of using non-lethal force to disrupt crowds.

Warren v District of Columbia - The police do not have an obligation to protect you, only to enforce the law at their discretion.

Salinas v Texas - Your silence can be used against you, you must verbally claim your protection against self-incrimination.

Heien v North Carolina - The police do not even have to be right about the law.

Give the right fucks, know the laws in your area, don't invite trouble by being stupid, if you have problematic stuff in your car make sure you are obeying all traffic laws and have your vehicle in good repair, do not talk to cops or consent to searches. Don't freak out, either, but for fuck's sake give the right fucks.

"Get in trouble" makes it sound like you think of the police as some sort of parental figures. They are just the biggest gang in town, enforcing laws not passed in your interests. I have never had a negative interaction with police, probably because I am a moderately articulate white male who knows how to deescalate situations. I have friends who are cops. I still think the institution is entirely broken at this point and can back that up with sources.
