i read the whole thread up to this point with the intention of adding my two cents... and this guy just did it for me.

!!!

Many of you are already making a huge mistake and giving up rights - by opening your door to begin with! As soon as you open the door that gives the cops the right to claim "i smelled weed when he opened the door"... "i saw paraphenalia on the coffee table" .... etc.

You are under NO OBLIGATION to open your door, answer the phone, etc. You see a cop at your door, WALK AWAY. If they have a warrant to search your home or a warrant for your arrest, they will be coming in irreguardless of you answering the door or not. (EDIT: with a warrant to search they would be coming in, with just a warrant for your arrest, they can't come in unless they have reason to beleive that you are home.) This is also why its a good idea to have a camera (discreetly placed) that lets you know who is knocking on your door to begin with. YOUR Home is YOUR Castle.

REMEMBER: If they are asking you question (or trying to), its because they DON'T have the answers. Don't help them to get those answers !!!

IF you are actually growing weed in your home, then NO ONE should ever be knocking on your door (without you knowing they were coming) to begin with. Same with the phone, if you don't know who is calling you: Don't Answer It! I've owed tens of thousands of dollars for over a dozen years now. You know how many times i've spoken to a bill collector? Not once.

this is exactly what they did to the president of the dallas chapter of norml (source: barry cooper's; never get raided), even though he had sage and right outside his front door. this is a great lecture, i remember downloading it awhile back (had to be courtesy of this thread). this guy is pretty intense. there is also a video called "the citizen's guide to surviving police encounters" that is pretty informative.

welcome to university.

Don't know about the laws around where you live but;

Its not a search at all. Your alarm company no doubt called the police on YOUR behalf. Therefore, you are infact giving them permission to enter the building. Once entering its fair game, all they need is reasonable doubt to do a complete search. Now reasonable doubt is VERY complex, I mean by the letter of the law even the fait smell of pot would give them reasonable doubt. However this could and has worked against the prosecution. Lets say you smoked some pot before you left in the morning and the smell is lingering, you have no stash no plants this would not be reasonable doubt and could in fact be used as illegal search.

Regardless, as for speaking to the police or interacting with them; I find its best to assertive, speak to them in a clear and persice manner. If at any time during your interaction you feel unconfortable, ask if your being detained, if the answer is no all you say is I would like to leave.

Police are ment to be intimidating, fear shows weakness, weakness shows lies.

they are also allowed to lie to you to get the truth..like.you get busted with dope and them bitches say you gettin 15 years if you dont snitch and u only got busted with a couple rocks and u a first offender u usually get rehab or probation but them bitches can threaten u with all this time knowing they have statutes and limitations when it comes to sentencing guidlines.
thats how i got caught up.If my fall partner would have kept his mouth shut,and i advise this to everyone.DONT SAY SHIT UNLESS U GOT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT OR U KNOW THE LAW!.My whole term i worked in the law library as inmate counsel for disciplinary Board and it really taught me loopholes around shit that you not gonna know about unless you get the statues/criminal code book for your state.PeAcE
