WHITE ROCK, B.C. — A B.C. man probably wishes he had given his 11-month-old son a set of keys to play with instead of a phone, after the infant accidentally dialled 911 and brought police to dad's marijuana grow operation.
Mounties say a 911 call came in from a White Rock, B.C., residence Friday morning but whoever was on the other end of the line hung up.
Officers arrived at the residence and after numerous knocks on the door went unanswered, they entered the home.
“The gentleman was quite surprised,” said White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Canning.
She said the 29-year-old male, startled by the sudden sight of police, insisted he hadn't made the call.
When it was suggested a child might have dialled, the father objected and said his son was far too young.
That's when police spotted the baby boy, phone in hand.
“We saw him playing with the cordless phone and just pressing all the buttons, so evidently he had called 911,” Const. Canning said.
With that mystery solved, officers began inspecting the residence and soon discovered a 500-plant marijuana grow operation.
The father was arrested and will appear in court in early April on charges of production of a controlled substance and mischief.
The boy was removed from the home by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, though he was later released into his mother's custody.
The mother does not live in the residence and Const. Canning says she had no idea what was going on at the home.

didnt the cops enter illegally? yes..they did

no. they would be entitled even in america to enter a home after receiving a 911 call from the residence. if no one answers the door, they would consider doing whatever nescesary to open the door.

now, what kind of 'mischief' was this guy up to ?! did they really have to tack on that charge as well ?

Thats cops for ya though....

Person: hi officer

Cop: do you know why im standing here?

Person: because you got all D's in high school?

so that evidence cannot be used in the court of law....

ya it can. they had probable cause to enter the home (the 911 call). and the weed was in plain vew... though it does say they 'took a look around the residence'. now if they did that in america (after being asked politely to leave by the home owner and after surmising that it was just the baby that dialed the phone) then a lawyer could argue that it was an invalid search. then a copper could say, 'ya, well, i smelled the weed when we stepped inside'. that's why this is such an unfortunate incident. and i don't mind seeing it for that reason... man, the more cautious the better. BAD BABY !!!

in the US that would never stand up due to the technicalities. in the UK those pigs better get out of my house or il batter them resisting arrest then be unable to be charged because the police acted illegally.....Happy days.

After the cops figured out that it was an accident and the kid had called 911, why did they have to go and search the rest of the house? That doesn't make to much sense.

seriously.
