ha, thursday i got popped for a lousy three plants!!! what a crock, they had police all over my house what kinda shit? so check it, i wasn't there when it went down, my dad was though. he told me he asked them for a search warrant multiple times and the officers refused, they said they had a canine, what the hell does have to do with the price of tea in china, they eventually made their way into my house by forcing a drunk man aside. now check it out, i live in ohio. the charge, 100 dollar fine for cultivation under 100g's. the verdict, well i haven't been to court yet, and well i figured i would save the best for last, i thank god have a video camera inside my house, and the day after it happened i decided to have a look-see to see went on, whie looking over it, i heard a knock on the door, it kept up for a bit, and then i saw the door knob wiggle and then open, the door was locked, and who shows up on my screen...my land lord!!!! I see this nosey bitch walk through the apartment not missing my grow room and take fucking pictures, bitch please she's done, and i called the police department and asked what the fuck you know, this bitch starts apologizing to me for violating my rights, the best part is i have it on tape recorder!!!! needless to say i don't think that ill be paying no fuckin fine. oh, and by the way can't i just say that the plants were hemp plants, they look alike and everyaspect, mind you the plants were only 22 days old so no flowers just yet, oh on more question if it gets thrown out or i get a not guilty plea, don't they have to give me my light back seeing as how they only confiscated it because they thought it was being used in the commision of a crime???

you should really not say anything to the police. it can be used against you. i also dont think you can record people without their knowledge....

get a lawyer stat!

i would think that it would be a different case here; he was not home, and the OP came in uninvited; had she been an invited guest and he was recording while he was at home.... then he may be obligated to tell her. i'll look it up, but i believe you only have to notify them if you are recording video W/audio; or if it is something clearly invasive such as a camera in your bathroom... i'll be back

well i live in a big apartment complex and thers alot of trouble out here, i believe i could tell them that i used the camera as a security device to help protect my belongings. back to one important question, could i tell them that they were hemp plants, is it a viable defense???

If it's only 3 plants don't sweat it. You'll probaly have to pay a fine and do some community service.

im referring to the audio you have....the video is great evidence....i'd be more worried about the audio bro

The recording laws vary by state. In Washington you only need one party to agree to taping. You gotta love these nazi gestapo tactics they use now a days.lol

I agree! People use nanny cams to bust nanny's beating their kids all the time... and the tapes HAVE been used in court.

I think the cops not presenting a search warrant is a HUGE issue as well.

I think a good lawyer should have NO PROBLEM getting the charges dropped on this one. 3 plants....clear violations by police and landlord...... almost seems like a no-brainer. CASE DISMISSED!
