Just because the items weren't on the search warrant does not mean they weren't allow to confiscate them (that's absurd to thing that would be the case). Sure, the plants weren't included in the warrant, but that's not the point, the warrant is to gain access to the property, not a laundry list of things they're allowed to take, and have to leave anything else illegal there and forget they ever saw it. Just doesn't work like that.

^^ yeah this, of course that's not how warrants were intended to function. ideally they would have had to go and get another warrant after seeing your shit which would have given you time to ditch the contraband before they came back but as jurisprudence works now they just fuck you now and use it to charge you later. if they want to. they'll probably sit and wait and see if they can pop you on something bigger. i wouldn't grow there again and i would definitely get your card and move to another county.

Good avice

honestly in your situation i would consider yourself very lucky.

i mean so what your saying is the cops 'arrested' you and took you to the station, searched your house for a killer (yeah its sucks they busted in your house even tho you were not the killer) then found your fairly large illegal grow and rather than arresting you they cleaned up all the evidence and let you go back home without another word..........

if only they will be so 'nice' to me if am ever in the situation, i will be singing with happiness.

I think I'd make an appointment with a "weed" lawyer. It might clear up the abiguity of your situation.

I just don't see the cop's finding your grow as something that simply goes away. Living just waiting for a hammer to fall or not would be too stressful for me.

Yep, having faced long term troubles on the heath front, as well, it sad to say. But, the only thing worse that knowing is not knowing. But, changing addresses into another state before an charges can be filed is a somewhat less expense than a lawyer. And perfectly within your rights.

Many, including me, would now have a hard time sleeping at night, at that address, sad to say. The other shoe.

I'd say most lawyers would spend 15 min on the phone, for free, when you mention the murder warrant. It's called the initial consultation. I've used that before to triangulate on my rights.
(this state will never give you a gun permit.) OK.

bet those cops are gonna be high as hell in the near future lol. sorry to hear about your losses though man

If the cops were interested in scamming free weed then they'd just take HQ dried/bagged weed from dealers.. When I was young, my buddy's dad was a cop.. He'd give us weed that he'd just confiscated without a report from idiots smoking/selling in stupid places.. He said he'd rather give us what we need for the night than have us risk a different cop catch us buying it in town.. (He'd known me and my parents forever, outside the circle that was never to be spoken of..).. Whole plants are alot more work to get away with though.. This guy wasn't a bad cop, just as cool as they get.. He stopped morons from being morons as legally painlessly as possible, but he wouldn't take moronic chances himself either..
