So about a month ago my house got raided due to nosey neighbors. I have my doctors recommendation and all my plants were under the legal limit, and i had under the legal limit of dried medicine for the county in california that i live in. So they confiscated all my lights, fans, plants, dried meds, fans, etc. They called me back a few days later saying no charges were going to be pressed.

My next question would be do i get all my equipment back? Or would it still be considered evidence even though no charges were pressed? If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

Just a guess here but if no crimes were commited you should get your stuff back. I would contact the station or investigating officer, after a certain time frame they may keep it.

The same thing happened to me in Oregon, the cops took off with all my medical grow equipment. I kept calling the detective in charge of the case and left a bunch of messages but he wouldn't return my calls. I guess he was pissed I was legally growing. I got no notice of forfeiture, but apparently the police dept. "destroyed" the equipment because it had been a few months. Probably brought it home to grow themselves. Call the police dept. and find out who is in charge of your case and ask if you can have your stuff back. You have nothing to lose by calling and asking.

go to the station with a truck and tell them you want your shit or you're gonna file a suit. call a lawyer if it's worth it to you. http://www.canorml.org/laws/lc.html
