Russian term

V sluchai chego pridrat'sia ne k chemu, s krovi vikachivat' he budut.

Russian to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
A drug user says that it is if safest to take drugs at the place where you can buy them, that 'ukololsia, vizhodish, to est' ti pustoi. V sluchai chego pridrat'sia ne k chemu, s krovi vikachivat' he budut.

Does this mean: so long as no one has a go at you, gives you a hard time?
I am not sure about the reference to blood. Does it mean 'so long as you don't get into a fight?'
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): sergey (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

they can't find anything, they will not take your blood for analysis

After you have consumed the drugs, you go out [of the place], you are "empty" [= have no drugs with you]. If something happens [= police suspect you], they [=police] can't find anything, they will not take your blood for analysis.

agree Kirill Semenov : police will have no reasons to bother you, they can see what's in your pockets, but not what 's in your blood

agree Sascha : with Kirill: (the police) would have no justification to harass you - they can pull the drugs out of your pockets (or even body openings), but "pump it out" of your blood - no way.

no one's got any reason to beat you up; they're not going to spill your blood

The whole passage:

If you've just shot up and you leave, that means you don't have any drugs on you. In that case no one's got any reason to beat you up; they're not going to spill your blood.

In case of anything going wrong there's nothing to pick on. They won't have your blood tested (anyways).

should he be stopped, there are no flies on him (outwardly he is clean), and they are not going to distil it out of his blood after pumping it out to take it (the drug) away from him

drug addicts apart from worrying about being arrested are also constantly concerned that someone would also take it (the drug) away from them

and it\'s questionable which is worse to them
