Knock knock...yup it's the fucking cops while I'm harvesting

So I was harvesting last week and some close mates were gonna swing by, told em to call or text prior they knew why. Half hour later there's a knock on my door, annoyed but a good guess it's my mates all good...back to harvesting.

It's the one night were shits a bit lax, house smelled. Been back at it for about an hour when there's another knock on my door, now I'm pissed, cursing my mates name who always shows up at the most inappropriate times and never txts or calls prior to arriving. I'm halfway to the door still with gloves on still cursing and look up and see it's the FUCKING COPS!!!!

My stomach sank. Even now my sphincter puckers up like a snare-drum.

I turned around ripped off the gloves and told my mates it was the cops (they thought I was joking). I open and shut the door behind me. Busted on my first grow, I hadn't even tried any yet that was my first thought, I was bummed.

Turns out the cop is investigating a neighbour complaint who reported ppl trespassing etc. I mention a similar incident where I had a drunk kid knocking on my back door at 3am telling me he lived in my house and was why I built my fence etc.

So he tells me to have a good night "but lay off the bong I could smell it from the front door!"

Holy fucking shit man, if he only knew...my knees were shaking when I got back inside. The adrenaline crash was immense.

So I quit harvesting that night but I did run the trim and made some bubble hash later that night.

Anyway there's a few more small branches but currently my two plants have yielded 421 grams (15 ounces) with another ounce or two to go, the other two plants in the shed I doubt I'll get to weigh but they have an ounce or two as well. So for my first grow/harvest I've had my ups downs and even the fucking cops but it's been a fun learning experience.

Yeah man I have been good but didn't plan my harvest well. I will plan accordingly next time to have entertainment to watch while in the confines of the room/tent

Lmao man you're lucky you had a visit by a cool cop who didn't use the smell as reason to search your house.

Congrats on the harvest!

Yeah after the incident I rushed getting the rest of the buds on the drying screen which I then hung in the tent with the c filter and fans running. I plan to recollect the sugar leaves and trim again today and make some more bubble hash.

As allready said NEVER open the door for cop's , even if they see you & demand you allow them in get up & lock all the doors & shut the blinds right in front of them , they aint there to bring good news & your opening the door allows them a brief glance into your home as well as a quick sniff , now they have probable cause to enter or investigate. Somethings fishy about the cop's story for comming to your door , cop's dont canvass the neighborhood looking for info on anything less than murder & they sure as hell aint gonna put effort into a trespassing complaint , more likely is the neighbor who supposedly had tresspassers dropped a dime because of smell & the cop was doing a knock n talk , police are taught the art of disinformation to answer questions from the public/suspects .

Just cause you didnt get raided dont mean shit & there are no mj smoker friendly cop's , your either a criminal ( Cash flow to the system ) or a suspected criminal who warrants further investigation , all cop's are lying assholes who'd shit on your entire life if they think they can charge you with something warranting heavy fines or property seizure , that cop wasnt there investigating a neighbors complaint unless you live in smallville .

I have to agree with you on everything here, it sounds real fishy the police are doing any footwork over some youngsters perusing your yard. It is hard enough to get a cop to come out for a traffic accident unless someone needs an ambulance.

Me and my mates figured the same. What we didn't know was the cops raided a house around the corner from me. I know and work with one if the neighbours who lives in the culdesac next to said house and he's overseas with his wife home alone. I believe she called and being friends she was being a good neighbour, I'll find out when I see her next.

It's been 6.5 days. I believe I lucked out, and had a cool cop looking for bigger and better things not added paperwork. I also believe he thought I was home alone watching UFC toking on a bong had he seen one of my mates he woulda been in the door for he has history w the local police. I also sound foreign, look young and I am a cool guy so that works in my favor too 8), but the first thing that saved me was this cop was alone, no partners keeping each other in check.
But until I find out more, they or at least that one cop know I'm a toker now.

The cop was asking if I had seen or heard any activity pertaining to one of my neighbours behind me. One is a rental, the other I work with, neighbour next to me is cool, the other supposedly loved cocaine back in his day.

When I was opening the door the cop made space and was a good 2 metres up my driveway, wasn't poking or sniffing, more like protocol. The whole convo and ordeal was a min or two max.

Time will tell. My mates who were there got pulled over at 3am on their pedal bikes the following night. Cops said an increase in drug related crimes in the area has them patrolling more late night.

That kind of stress sucks!!

Same thing happened at my house on Monday. I wasn't home but my wife was - she was in the shower and never had a clue:mrgreen:. It was my neighbor gal (who knows I always have a couple outdoor plants) that came over to ask the cops if everything was ok? They proceed to then ask her a slew of questions about my neighbors old roommate .... whew!!!
My wife texted me that the cops were at the house - instant sinking feeling, thank you to my neighbor! Said"I figured you didn't want them poking around"

So I found from the neighbour I work with that it was the neighbour in the rental who called the cops.

IT was a legitimate call and response. Cop thankfully thought I was having a harmless quick solo bong session while watching UFC, not harvesting a lb. phew!

On another note I cut back and harvested the ones in the shed and rev egging them back in the tent
 
I had a cop stop by and ask the same thing next thing I know a month later busted be careful man it was a cop all by himself as well
