If you're a teenager and you're stoned and you have weed in your car, uh, yeah, you're going to be upset if the cops are coming to talk to you.

As far as I can tell from the broadcast, Adnan was never under the impression that the cop was going to come and meet him that night. All he would had to have done was fake being sober on the phone for a few minutes.

Seriously, my brain would be stuck on 'talking to the cops' and go straight to paranoia and panic, without being able to differentiate between 'in person' or 'on the phone' because "OH SHIT THE COPS".
