Had Nice Visit from Police Yesterday

jamiebo1988 · May 4, 2011

had 4 plain clothes knock my door, i opened they rushed in and searched arrested intent to supply!! took less than 2 oz i had just harvested know more than a week ago, still kinda drying/curing the wankering pricks. no warrant just a smell of a fresh few spliffs lingering the air. didnt know they could do that at all. thought they needed a warrant. so my question is, are they going to return next few days and seize my tv pc, value items etc? they left it all and im worried if they may return, paid alot of money for some of it, they got my phone aswell
.
they already smashed my carbon filter, ripped the ducting and cut the plug from my inline fan!!!! why? i understand the smashing and ripping, but cutting a plug off a fan??? cmon the dumb pricks, not a clue these guys, seized £270 in notes but left me with maybe £100 in £1 coins and 20seeds, grow tent survived intact as did the small things like temp, fan controller and drying box complete with small buds. all gone now, smoked it the second i got back hehehe, ill never learn.

i have no clue about the laws of saudi arabia, but like most ME countries, they can probably get away with whatever they want.

Lol, OP Fool is not from SA, death would be what he'd be worried about if so.

With that said, where are you located?

Seems like in the states.

And if so, they absolutely could not search your home without YOU letting them in.

You really should have a much better understanding of your rights if you attempt to do this again.

About your question, usually when they 'recover' drug proceeds they do it right at the bust. Anyone with any knowledge of seizure laws would say those physical items are safe. Your bank account/safe boxes are another story.

To everyone else: Never let anyone in your house. OP is a noob who got played. READ THE BLOODY US CONSTITUTION.

Sorry and good-luck.

Edit: You should have posted this in the Legal Section, or maybe one of the discussion forums, not here.

OP is in Europe than?

As opposed to writing: س س س س س س س س س , and facing a death sentence for trafficking.

Anyways, if we are talking Euro laws than my previous advice is not all that accurate.

Reguardless, OP is all screwed up, so back to my first question for OP:

... where are you located?

You are not doing yourself any favours here, £ = pound...what country has a pound as currency in Europe other than Cyprus?

PS. In Europe the countries involved in the EU..... they use the euro...

jimmygreenfingers · May 4, 2011

They wont be back man so your stuffs safe they have what they want. They took your phone to check your messages to get evidence for dealing did you actually have a grow on the go at the time? or was ya tent empty. These fuckers dont always need a warrant hope you kept shtum until you spoke with a brief.

Perhaps you're here to jerk yourself off, I'm trying to figure out the OPs situation.

Go fuck yourself, or try and settle 'Where in the World is the OP?' question without picking an internet fight.

puffntuff · May 4, 2011

They had probable cause as soon as you opened the door. They smelled they came ran threw your shit and left. Lesson of the day is talk threw your door or lock your outside glass door if you have one. Not sure about English law but you fucked yourself by opening the door. I used to the pizza delivery dude deliver threw the window. Not because I was paranoid just lazyness but don't open your door to nobody you don't know.

Oh the hostility LOL, next you'll be calling me a troll.......I'm trying to help you figure out for yourself where he is, I figure the UK because of the £ sign and frankly if he was in Saudi Arabia he would not be on the internet able to post this thread, he would still be in a holding cell...making his location a ruse.....make sense now?

I'm trying not to be facetious about your lack of common knowledge about the world as I notice your gun wielding hoodie avatar.....

Do you run LA??

jamiebo1988 · May 4, 2011

1st question, what is OP? im in england by the way, and no i didnt let them in, i opened it slighty and they pushed their way in, im looking for another place as we speak, ill be gone in a week, and not all eu countries use the euro, sweden, denmark england etc all have their own. and yes the laws are rather oppressive in england

I would just leave mate, I plan to do the same thing where I am as we speak, I did not have the same issue but someone suspects. I am also in the UK. The laws are repressive but many still fly under the radar. Good luck!

DST · May 4, 2011

I was busted in the UK in a similar fashion, but the CID guy said that he was entering my property under the suspicion of smelling MJ. Now believe it or not, the UK is classed as being in Europe, although as the OP (original poster) said, it uses the GBP/£, not the EURO/€. Now I lived in Scotland which also has different laws from England, even though it is in the UK, but I woudl say in your case a fairly similar set of laws. Even if you say the police didn't have a warrant, they will say they could smell drugs and entered the property on that basis. Have you been charged with cultivation? What exactly are your charges? Sounds to me like a half arsed job, the feds took absolutely everything related to growing when I got nabbed. Get a lawyer, plead guilty to possession and you'll probably get a fine, or a caution if you don't have previous. Unless someone is snitching on you they have no proof of Supply.

Good luck,

DST

jamiebo1988 · May 4, 2011

i think the filth were ment to go home 10mins after arresting me so they kinda rushed it, and no, no charges relating to cultivation as i wasnt growing at the time, they just took the buds in the container, but said they couldnt be arsed to book all the gear etc in, i am speaking to a solicitor soon, i gave a no comment interview, so not too bothered about that, its just the possesion with intent

makinthemagic · May 4, 2011

That's why us Yankees kicked you limeys out of here. We have the Bill of Rights, and the 4th amendment specifically. No pigs will come in my place unless they have a warrant.

I'm not sure if it applies where you live but my lawyer said never answer the door for a cop. If they have a warrant they will come in, if not, then their French frog asses can sit outside.

dsnutts · May 5, 2011

Is it only me but it sounds to me like you got robbed my friend. No LEO states or across the pond is going to come in, raid you home and not take you to jail for processing. Did they issue an official citation? Anything other than taking your weed and money?

jamiebo1988 · May 5, 2011

yeah got bailed and everything, 9 hours in a cell strip searched and interviewed, its a piss take cause i was really paranoid while the grow was on, thought i was paranoid enough to spot someone following etc

Corso312 · May 5, 2011

i thought england had seed banks no? can not be all that oppressive eh

welshsmoker · May 5, 2011

hi mate, fuck them off, they are not allowed in to your house without a warrant unless someone is in physical danger and they have had a 999, get a good brief and you will walk, you will anyway i reckon £200 squid fine and community service if your unlucky, and dont worry about your phone, they aint checking them now.. have a spliff and chill, good luck man..
