Keep your prescriptions in their original bottle.

A lot of people are not aware that it is illegal to carry your prescription drugs on you unless they are in the original bottle and the prescription information is legible. If you are searched and the police officer find the prescription pills in a plain bottle, it is likely that you will be arrested for illegal possession of drugs. While you ultimately will be able to get the charges dismissed, by then you will probably have already had to pay a bondsman to bail you out of jail and hire an attorney.
