well they haven't come yet. its been approximately 7 hrs since the inspectors came by with the apartment rep. does anyone think they could come tomorrow?
you probably dont have this problem, but just in case, make sure you dont have copious amounts of cash on hand. if the cops think you are selling, they will come looking for it. if i was you i would tear apart my place and remove anything that is illegal or could be used for illegal activity. also keep in mind there are alot of people who you dont know that now know you grow and smoke weed and they have all your personal info.
Was the grow tent open? Was anything illegal in plain view? If not then the cops have no way of getting a warrant, they can't just search you shit on a hunch. You should be fine just don't let them in without a warrant, don't even open the door unless they say police search warrant or they will push you out of the way and lie about it in court.
And it doesn't matter that its owned by a company they can't allow authorities to search your things, you'd still have to give them consent to search without a warrant.
Even if they know its gotta be weed they can't do shit with your consent or a warrant which requires some real evidence. That doesn't mean they won't be watching you though.
I was an MP
My friend, the fact that you have NOT moved the stuff yet worries me.
Security is the key. Yours has been compromised, it is time to evac. If they don't come today, they might come tomorrow, or the next day...whenever they are done collecting their information to solidify and get a warrant. They might not site the inspection in the warrant, but, they can damn well base an investigation on a "random" tip-off. Heck, they might not ever come, but if they do, well, your screwed.
Anyway, stop posting, start moving (and destroying if you have no other option) and do work.
they came in to inspect the fire alarms, extinguisher, sprinklers.
they said they went into each individual room to inspect it.
i was gone between 11am-3pm and its now 4:45
i have a large 4x4 tent in my room, and several plants in my closet, all which are fairly visible. they said they sent out an e-mail notice last week, but I never got it.
im hoping they decided to go easy on a student and not call the cops, but im also expecting the cops to come knocking any second now.
Screw all the legal talk and advice.....if the cops want you and your stuff is still there they will pop you. Warrants and all that shit are great in conversation, all they need to do is knock on the door and say that they smell weed. Or they can just claim to have gotten an anonymous tip.
If they havent knocked yet, there are a few possibilities:
1. The inspector is cool and didnt say a word (the least likely of all)
2. He did tell and you are now being watched as is anyone that comes to your place
3. They will be coming.
I've had my place raided years ago because a roommate was under investigation for poaching Deer.....Long story short, I moved and qut growing forr a few years......better safe than sorry. The financial hit of losing a crop is nothing compared to jail time, laywer fees and the lost income while on the slammer.
Good luck
im not sure what state you are in or if this even applies for all states, however in michigan, if it is a felony, police do not even need a warrant. i had a felony warrant for my arrest once years ago for the manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance, marijuana cause i sold a bag to a girl 6 months before that named amanda fushman. the cop was actually nice and knocked, but he told me he could have just walked in my house and that if they are arresting someone for a felony charge, they don't need a warrant.
