What kind of trouble could the 2nd person living in the house get in?

[StinkyStubb]

With a 2k personal size setup, what kind of trouble could the little lady get in to God forbid someone were to stumble onto it? Would the man of the house be able to take full responsibility, keeping the lady of the house totally out of any trouble?

If he were a man he would,but if the lady were smart and didn't want to be charged as an accessory she should make certain and be denied access.By this I mean a lock should be kept on the door at all times and the only key on the property should be in your husbands/boyfriends possession,no spare in the house or on your person.In the event of arrest of course the person would have to lie and say he's denied you access,but that goes without saying.

Then there's the question she's gonna have to answer about the extra cash every month for the electric bill.

And the money for the ferts; and equipment; sound of the fan; and all the water being handled; and all the time you spend in the grow; and whatever Alien Orange glow comes out of the cracks.

Hard to deny 2k i'd think. 2Hundred; maybe so. Locked cab, no nutes lying around, little cash outlay for expenses...

They will be questioned, and could be used as a witness in court. My co-defendant was renting out rooms when he was raided. No one use was arrested but him. They would have to have enough evidence from the DA to hold them even it they were arrested. My other co-defendants girlfriend was released after 3 days for this reason. If your grow is stealthy denial is easy!

Wives actually cannot be compelled to about conversations had with their husbands. It's an extension of the privilege exception. Like Doctor Patient, Attorney Client, Confessor, etc.

Not to mention, it's hearsay as well.

Not sure whether that extends to girlfriends and live-ins or not.

What would happen is both of you would be charged with the same offence, even if the other half were to say they knew nothing of the grow and there was a lock showing substantial proof they had no entry. The reason for this is to protect the case. If only one of you were to take the charges, and then later switch and the other half take the charges instead, both charges would be dropped. From what I understand you have to be charged with the offence at the time it is being commited, or within a reasonable amount of time. I am not sure what is considered reasonable, but cases can be remanded for months, and this is enough time to screw the case. Never-the-less, after the case goes to court you could probably argue that the other half knew nothing and the charges would ultimately be withdrawn, but still they would be initially charged to make the case stick. I went through this before and this is what my lawyer explained to me and my girlfriend at the time. This was in Canada so I don't know if it pertains also to the USA. May be someone else can clarify this?

One thing for sure is that no one should say a damn word to the police. It's best to let a lawyer settle it in a court room. You don't have to admit guilt to keep her out of trouble while being investigated. She should remain silent as well. It's both of your best chance.

Play the right to be silent and you may both get of Scott free.

should be all good from what ive seen stinky ,, possible that u will or would be both charged , but given your case is gonna be heard first ,,
and of course youll be saying it was all yours and found guilty ..
then there is no evidence left to charge the other party with ,,
case should be dropped ...
ive seen this play out in court several times now .... with only one person eventually having to plead guilty ...

Well, it has to be borne in mind, he asked if there was a way to keep her totally out of any trouble.
That isn't the same thing as eventually being found not guilty. Where civilian female units are involved things like custody of children is a primary worry. The additional legal expenses are another potential problem. The concern over losing her job is another one that could relate to what he's asking. Being denied renewal of rental agreements are yet another. Revocation of previous probation agreements are still another;

so the answer is NO: the chance of you running a 2K grow and keeping her totally out of any possible trouble is nearly zero if you're in a place that really wants to take the 'asshole factor' to the wall. If any of the above conditions could come into play you're not scot free in that regard.

On the other hand, in some places the will of the public government isn't really into ruining people for having & growing weed, so you might have people come in and bust you while the grow doors open, and she's standing there with a bucket of water and a pH meter in her hand, or a pair of trimming scissors and pile of buds on the coffee table, and she not incur even one charge, if the prosecution of pot cultivation & possession laws is more a function of an obligation they just can't get out of sometimes, than a sincere witch hunt for all members of the cult of the demon weed.

It depends on where the author of the thread is.

This is the hobby of being very illegal in a lot of jurisdictions. No amount of hopeful speculation negates the potential realities on the ground in a world of legal hurdle clearing that might have nothing at all to do with being convicted.

this thread should be in the legal/security forum

i agree with NF
remember the 5 words
"i have nothing to say" when talking to cops.
do talking with lawyer only.

Thanks everyone. Thats pretty much what I figured. I wouldnt want to put her in any kind of danger whatsoever. Shes way to good for that. So growing in the house is definitely off limits. Guess I'll be looking for a different spot.

Make sense......
I just know from my case it involves a live-in girlfriend. She was not allowed to sit in the preliminary, because of being a possible witness.

you're all goin to jail Holmes....dont kid yourself or your roomies

This was my mom's main concern when she asked me to stop growing weed indoors. She was afraid she was going to lose her house if I got busted. So I stopped. Won't be too much longer before I have a space of my own.

I'm glad I was found out. She started bringing her indoor plants in and it's only September. She won't let me replant, but at least she let me water them. Some of these plants are root bound for sure.
