Police knocking on door. NY

Is that enough for you to admit that you are a blithering idiot?

sure are a nasty little f---er aren't you balsack???

recognize that as smart as you think you are, statistically speaking there are at least three hundred people on this site alone who are smarter than you, and just don't go around bullying people all day long... try to behave accordingly...

I'm bullying people? This guy here mocks me and puts my post in his signature. I'm right and he is wrong.

If you didn't notice the mountain of evidence I have posted and his opinion on the matter. I do not have an opinion on the matter I only have the facts.

You can't use a newspaper article as hard proof by capitalizing letters. The charge depends on how much bud is on the plants. Yes, plants in veg state would be a misdemeanor. BUT if you have more than 25 grams on a plant IT'S A FELONY.

Being a law student, you should also know that every case is different. Different judge, lawyers, methods of plea bargaining, etc. Just because one guy had plants but only got charged for possession is irrelevant.

S 221.20 Criminal possession of marihuana in the third degree.
A person is guilty of criminal possession of marihuana in the third
degree when he knowingly and unlawfully possesses one or more
preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances containing marihuana and
the preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances are of an aggregate
weight of more than eight ounces.

He was charged with having more than one preperation of marijuana. That was a Class E felony for possession of marijuana.

Cannabis is just a plant until it is harvested.
If the guy had no harvested maryjane than he would have only been charged with unlawfully cultivating marijuana which is a misdemeanor in NYS.

I know my shit guy. How many years have you been studying NYS law? Are you even a college graduate?

Example-

http://www.steubencourier.com/featur...-50-pot-plants

Earl J. Sherwood, 39, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a felony, and unlawfully growing cannabis, a misdemeanor, after deputies allegedly found 50 plants – some of which were more than 6-feet tall – growing on the property where he was living.

They felony if you notice is related to possession and not cultivation.

where in new york that happened?
Each defendant has been charged with conspiring to traffic in more than 1,000 marijuana plants or 1,000 kilograms of marijuana within 1,000 feet of public and private grammar schools, and money laundering. If convicted on the drug charges, the defendants each face a minimum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment and a maximum sentence of life, a minimum of 10 years of supervised release, and $8,000,000 in fines. If convicted on the money laundering charges, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and $500,000 in fines. In addition, the defendants face forfeiture of $12,000,000, real property and corporate assets.

This happened in brooklyn and queens new york in 2004.
I dont know any misdemeanors that give you that much time do you?

I can go on and on when the point still remains.You will not change my mind i see it in black n white.Cultivating marijuana is a felony.Dont let it be a federal case oh let me guess feds have nothing to do with growing.Im the dumb one....lmfao

play nice kiddies, no one wants to bring down the level of discourse. now behave...

For the respect of R.i.u. ill leave this alone but its obvious that we dont see eye to eye and all the negative comments wont do nothing because that shows immaturity anyway.I dont understand how you think you are stating facts when at the same time I am quoting law books and im the one wrong.

Also see Federal Laws

A New York City firefighter has been arrested on charges that he was growing more than 100 pounds of marijuana in the basement of a home in Queens, according to court records.

The firefighter, Patrick Murray, 33, was arraigned Wednesday in Federal District Court in Brooklyn on charges of manufacturing and possessing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, according to Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for the United States attorney’s office for the Eastern District. Investigators said that Firefighter Murray belonged to a larger drug-trafficking ring.

Firefighter Murray did not enter a plea and was released on $250,000 bond, Mr. Nardoza said. If convicted, he faces 5 to 40 years in prison.

answering naked gives them pc to enter even tho its your place if you are naked in veiw of others its indecint exposer if you have nothing inside you may want to think about leting them look so you wont be hasseled anymore and can resume your grow with out fear of the piggies coming back

It's only a felony if it involves harvested marijuana. Cultivation is not a felony.

Ok dude.But if they catch you with plants that are 1 week away from harvest its still not a felony until its cut and dried?

Nope. You think the cops are going to harvest it for you? They take the whole plant and destroy it. Cannabis is not marijuana until it is harvested.

enough said..

this thread was a good read, thanks.

Sorry bal, but here's one of your stories you used on a different source that states it is a felony. I'm by no means a law student but i think he is right lol. http://www.the-leader.com/features/x452076255/Deputies-Cameron-man-was-growing-50-pot-plants


But anyways, OT. I think you jumped the gun getting rid of your plants, but oh well. if they come back maybe let them look around if everything is gone and continue growing afterwords? GL, your neighbor is a dick.
