Default Almost arrested growing! 3 Cop cars surrounded me!
Quite the scare last night with the police...let me explain the story.

My grow buddy and I were setting up the water tank around 11 pm at night. We were finishing up when my friend got a call from someone saying his car is surrounded by 3 cops who ran his license plate and we're waiting. Now, the car was in a concealed little nook off the side of a side road...somewhere no one would go. How a cop saw the car is still a mystery.

As we walked back (slightly panicking), we devised up a story about how we were looking for something we had lost earlier that day while hiking. We walked up to the car and immediately saw 3 cop cars. They shined their lights on us and took our IDs. Keeping our cool we told them our story. After they found out I work at my school's garden a lady cop asked us if I grow "special" plants. I looked at her in the eye and said: "No ma'am" and they let us on our way.

After we pulled out and drove off, nearly arrested, i told my friend to let me out of the car to see how long the cops hang around. I sit down in a concealed area and see them leave after about 8-10 minutes. This confirmed that they had not found the plot. Their cars were parked about 150 yards from it, so the chances of them having found it are very low.

After I was picked up my grow buddy and I spent about 3 hours debating wether we should continue or not. Its hard to decide considering it was such a close call. We have to frequent the site about once every 2 weeks this summer...a huge risk is at hand.

Now here is where it gets interesting. At this spot, there are 2 plants in the ground and 9 in pots. We are planning on moving all of the plants and 2 water tanks in a few nights. Very risky, basically an all or nothing night.

I know the initial thoughts of everyone are going to be "DONT EVER GO BACK". My partner and I understand this logic and we know it is the right thing to do. BUT, we have thought long and hard and calculated that based on the events of that night, the police did not search the area and they are not setting up a trap (too much time/money for the amount of plants). Plus, if they had found the plants, they would show up at our doors.

Thank you for reading this story. Hopefully you have some constructive feedback.

So your growing outdoors in the bush right?

If the cop directly asked you if you are growing "special" plants, they were obviously there because someone has reported a marijuana plantation. Why would they just come out and ask that otherwise, and why would three cars be there? Its a very random question to ask unless they already knew there was some type of grow op around.

I would never go back. Ever.

Be very very careful. Cops aren't the brightest ppl, but they make up for it in sheer volume and technology.... (like a wireless camera near your grow which may be there right now).... careful. next time you go, do it at night and make sure to cover your face. Even if you think no one is there.

Think like this,
the cops find the plants, (the next day, when it is daylite) they are not going to move them, what good is that when they know the mouse will be greedy and come back for the cheese, so they set the trap and wait!, you see they have all year to wait, they get paid to wait, and they know when harvest time will come....be wise, sly like fox, move like night, once you move it its harvest with intent to sell? cross state lines? i am just saying.

Tough break bro. My advice is: ask yourself if you can afford the lose or not, if that were my crop and that were me and my bro I think we'd take the risk, thats just us though... good luck
