I was busted, but check this

I can think of a few states with much harder laws against it, actually pa is pretty easy according to norml. Cops are supposed to be here to protect and serve US! not harass and embarass, which seems like all they do.
If it was a dead town in pa, i can see why, they are just simply bored, and will take a innocent person and ruin there life. Weed is a victimless crime, no violence, it dosent even make people fiend and rob and steal for money.
I live in an area heavy with DEA, Feds, county task forces, and local pigs :(
Its pretty safe to say its the ghetto. But good thing about it is they are extremely busy with the crack/heroin dealers, they spend no time on potheads.
Unless its a random stop, or you fit a description of a robery of some shit, and coincidently you have something on u.

Cops pretty much do watever the fuck they want, they are the law, and in most cases, above it. :(
They can plant evidence on u if they dont like you. The fact that the pigs entered your house is beyond me, i guess living in such a rough neighborhood, its natural to keep my doors, windows, everything locked up tight. Once they saw your oz's on the table, triggered a search. Which you got very lucky it didnt stick, because techincally, that is considered probable cause(the oz's in plain sight on the table). Probable cause can even be made up by the cops,(ex: They say they heard gunshots from the house, would be probable cause to search it).
consider urself extremely lucky bro, and for the others here, dont get to cocky. Because in most cases there is no such thing as an illegal search and seizure. They can easily make up a reason for probable cause, which will make the search legal!

One last thing: They should focus more on or countries problems, violent crimes, robberies, and crack/heroin!!
LEAVE US ALONE...There is nothing wrong with smoking weed, except the fact you guys can't do it, because you get tested for it, so stop being jelous, and find a new occupation.

And OG, Im very glad to hear that u beat ur F's.

Hey OGRefugee: This is some f'd up sheet. I'm glad to hear that you finally got your day in court, and that your felony charges got dropped. But, 2 years probation? You don't get 1/2 that w/a DUI in which you put your self and others in danger of serious injury.
Guys!: This is a good "reminder to self". Don't be stupid. Don't get lax. And, TRUST NO ONE! NO ONE. Piffffolicious is right. All a cop here in PA has to do is say, "I smell marijuana" and that gives them probable cause to enter your house or search your vehicle. Stay safe. Stay green. Hats off to you OG, way to stay cool and make them eat their own shit!

I'd actually have your lawyer challenge the legality of them entering the residence unannounced, I believe that'd constitute an unlawful entry on their part.

Back in '76 I threw a huge party at my folks house, it was mostly college friends and ALOT of peeps I didn't know at all. Most everyone that came through the door had weed or hash & most just added what they wanted to the pile on the 'goodies table.' The party was downstairs in a huge finished basement accessible by the garage as well, one neighbor complained about a car in my driveway with its lights shining through their window. The cops came, knocked and knocked they said & then just entered the party, there was the pile of weed/hash on the table & everyone was toking & drinking tap beer or sangria. They looked around for me and told me all was good to go as they entered w/o permission, just please shut the lights on that car. Everyone stayed and partied w/o hearing another thing from the cops.
