Consequence Of Sound.net ...Kootenai County (Idaho USA) sheriff’s deputies stopped two men, 23-year-old Eric Swinford and 22-year-old Riker Morrow, at a gas station after officers thought they overheard the pair discussing marijuana. While the two men claimed to be talking about another car “blasting Nickelback”, officers instead heard “nickel sack”...(T)he officers were probably thinking of a “nickel bag”, which is approximately $5 worth of marijuana — still illegal to possess within Idaho.
What followed was a tense and awkward detainment, which was all captured on video by Morrow’s cell phone. Officers were unpersuaded by the Nickelback alibi, calling it a “bullshit story”, and then proceeded to interrogate the two and search their vehicle. As The Washington Post points out, “the audio seems to indicate that (a deputy) drew his gun just before pulling one of the men from the car and handcuffing him"...
Watch the entire incident...And remember: check yourself before you talk about post-grunge in front of cops.

Hey, maybe the band's name IS a code word -- maybe "nickelback" is Canadian for "nickel bag!" Do their fan club members get one with a premium membership? It would certainly explain their 30 million albums sold -- and why Richie's been seen hanging out with them!
