i disagree with you..in my experience with cops,they are out for themselves and could care less about the right thing or "justice"..your case might be the exception but it aint the rule..I'd agree with everything except the rent where you grow. If you own make sure you don't have more than 10% equity which is not a problem these days. They will not bother to take a home that they can't turn around and sell.
Outside of Lazyman's advice be respectful and do not cop an attitude. I had a friend who was busted outdoors and they went through his home that was well kept with pictures of family, grandchildren and a beautiful letter from his deceased wife (cancer) that showed the police he was not deserving of the laws they were paid to enforce. He had a medical condition pot was legitimate for and no scales, baggies etc. They treated him with as much respect as he treated them and it paid off. I've always made a point to talk to police when I see them at convenience stores or anywhere in public just to get comfortable with them. I had a neighbor who was a cop and he said it all depended on how the the person treated them as to how far they pushed the issue. Most cops like most americans have smoked pot at some point in there lives and know it is not what it is made out to be but they have to make arrests. They never know if who they pull over is one of there own making sure they are doing there job. My neighbor said coming out of the academy they would use new cadets none of the other cops knew to see if they would take large sums of cash when pulled over. Just something to think about.
