advise?

alright, so i was asleep, so were others in the house, door was knocking, after 5minutes they left,

i get woken up being told that it was 4 police officers at the door and they had now left,

i instantly chopped down all the plants i had and flushed them,

maybe an hour to 2 hours pass, knock at the door, 2 police officers.

"are you mr *****?"
"yes"
"well theres rumor that your growing cannabis"

anyhoo, i let them in, they looked in each of the rooms and with each room they said "nope no cannabis growing in here"

they were in the house all in all for about 3 minutes, i think they were trying to sniff for it,

anyway, they couldnt smell anything, they left, what do i do now?

*i dont know if they had a warrent or not, but they had some paper on a clipboard, they didnt mention anything about a warrant but im good at being convincingwas polite and forward to help them with what they wanted to know, i think this helpd in them leaving fast

if they had a warrant they prolly wouldnt have asked to come in or waited for you to open the door....but then again i know nothing about the law in uk....my bet is they guna keep n eye on you if they think you are doing something on a large scale, and worth spending time and money on, id tread lightly. ive found it best not to spit in the face of cops, respect seems to work a lil better.

 

[sailsinthesun]

Sounds like you probably did the right thing, considering you had already chopped them down. Talk about a close call..I thought it was bad when my landlord came over with appraisers to re-finance without notice.

 

[cork144]

well im sure after my understanding of the world now somthing is watching over me, somthing let nobody in the house wakeup untill they had left.

the police around here are more respectful than cops in the US i imagine, i live in a small town and they know people here arnt serious criminals, but i suppose its still their job to uphold fualty legislation.

Always easier to flush than to fight in court. My advice is to keep quiet, move, and only start up again after getting all your ducks in a row (odor, smell, nobody but NOBODY knows). If there's a "rumor" about you growing, that means that either. .

#1 some idiot talked (which means you my friend need to figure out how to be more discrete)
#2 you've got another security issue (smell, huge blazing lights, walking around your front stoop with a 6' bong)

95% of the busts seem to be from #1 rather than #2.

Find the issue that caused the visit before starting ANYTHING again regardless of a move. Fix it or it'll fix you.

it didnt help that months back my mother was struct by my stepfather, upon police and ambulence arriving, in her state of shock, shouted "my sons growing cannabis"

Good play, man. +rep. Dangerous move letting LEO in but it sounds like you did it right.


You may have in fact played it well enough that they crossed you off their list ....

But ....

imho, you are growing in a bad location. Cease growing until you relocate would be my advice. If you can't abide that, at least wait a month or more before starting again in case they come back with a warrant next week (never know).

 

[cork144]

regardless of the situation i still have one clone trying to root, ive had to reveg this plant, then wait to be able to clone it, and actually take clones, this plant is special to me and if they catch me with a single unrooted / rooted clone, im not then too concerned.

i had 4 large plants, 2 smaller and about 10 clones rooting, thats why i was scared.

Law low. Get everything in order and start when you move to a safe location. Everything is easily replaceable. Be glad you're safe.

 

[cork144]

thanks for all the advice guys, i cant explain the ammount of adrenaline i had lol, stayd as calm as poss

hopefully if it roots, ill pass it on to a friend, they will look after it.

i think its outdoors for me

 

[Irie_Lion]

Talk bout a close call....good thing u acted when u did or else this story would be alot diff right now.....play it cool and wait til u find a new spot man. Good vibez

 

[cork144]

im just upset that i cant do the testgrow for OJD

re-locate has my vote

LMAO...How did she find out? Maybe that's your leak. If so, re-locating will be useless unless you sit down, tell her you were raided, and sincerely convince her you've quit growing

because i wasnt going to grow in her house without her permission, alcahol makes her into a fucking idiot

 

[dc2bar]

Definitely time to lay low for quite a while my friend. Once they're watching you, i would assume they drop by to recheck known/suspected places every few months.

Well you found your leak, They probably wrote down what happened that night, and wanted to wait till you forgot about the incident so that way they could bust you mid op. make sure your mom knows you don't grow and are even stopping smoking, and your leak dries up.

 

[cork144]

well im very good at swaying the police, after she made the claim i made sure they came into my room (because i had cropped out afew weeks before and had no plants) so they could have alook around, without being realy invited for that purpose.


ive found out who the leak was, not sure how he found out, but i have some infomation about him thats gonna be put up about the place (personal embarrassment infomation and its a fucking cracker!)

 

[SpasticGramps]

You did the right thing. Security first. Reassess your security situation and lay low for a bit. They knocked and talked you without finding anything. They may have an eye on you, but I doubt they are going to assign resources to watch you after they just rolled through your place and didn't find anything.

Now you have to give us the dirt.

You did the right thing. Live to grow another day.
