Oh it happens, I was not questioning that it happens just being pissed about it.

Read this article, it tells how NJ police had subpoenaed the UPS deliveries from Hydrofarm, a hydroponics supply company in Bristol, PA into NJ to find and bust growers.



What's your point? Obviously I'm aware of the doctrine I was just correcting the poster on what's it's called.

that was my attempt at humor. "irregardless" is not a word as well as "unbarren".

sadly i have here in colorado. i caught a 2 year probation with about 5000 in court fines for it. 48 hours of drug classes and a 15 month drivers license suspension. i got into an argument with my half-sister and she thought to show me how it is by calling the cops.

Damn. I used to shop there YEARS ago. I had no idea ....


The one thing you guys need to keep in mind when dealing with the cops, is that they don't always KNOW what a legal search warrant is. Lawyers read up on court cases, and keep things in line, cops don't do that. So a cop might not know that it's illegal to take an IR camera into a helicopter and fly it over some houses.

If cops ended up using illegal search methods to find your grow up, the odds are if you had a good lawyer you could get out of it, or at least get it reduced down to petty offenses. But, there is still a chance that the DA won't budge, and the Judge will crack down on you despite the illegal search.

This entire process costs thousands of dollars anyway, so you would be better off playing it safe 100% of the time. Don't fuck with your security, because once you lose it you can't get it back.

here is what happened to me yesterday.

-- Patrol officers were sent looking for a missing 5-year-old boy at a home Tuesday, and they found not only the child, but 68 marijuana plants growing in the basement, according to the County Sheriff’s Office.

Police arrested Joseph , 28, and Kenneth , 24, both of 4 Drive, in connection with the incident.

Joseph faces misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and violating the state public health law for growing marijuana.
Kenneth is charged with misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of marijuana and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance for having propoxyphene, a narcotic drug he didn’t have a prescription for.

The child was found hiding in a closet.
The men were released on appearance tickets and will return to the town court at a later date.

i deleted me and my brothers last name, and the town we live in. I couldnt find my son and valued him more than my plants. Stupid decision, now my x wife wont give him back... im fucked

Wait ..... you couldn't find your kid in your own home, so you called the cops to come search your house looking for the kid ..... when you had a basement full of plants?

i thought someone took him, my dad heard the garage door open and the dog bark while he was in the bathroom, i was 25 min away dropping my daughter off. I was way more concerned about finding my kid than the plants.

Well he was dumb enough to think he didn't just out his identity on this board so...

Look man don't get the wrong idea here. I do not think you deserve to be going through this and you have my sympathies, your situations sucks. But if you truly valued your son more than your plants why did you put yourself in a situation where you knew getting busted would probably end with your son being taken away from you?

I respect that you valued your kid over your plants .... but if that was really true you would have known that if you got busted for growing those plants you could go to jail. If you went to jail you wouldn't be able to be there for the kid. So if you really valued the kid over the plants you wouldn't have grown in the first place.

Criticism aside, I feel for you bro. And given the situation I think you probably did the right thing, even though it was still stupid and fucked up.

So, you got busted this morning .... so this afternoon you got home and created an account .... your first post is telling us you got busted.

That's shitty. Sorry bro.

How did you get caught? Loose lips? Piss off some buddies? Couldn't control the smell?

Props for using the search function. Most new members can't seem to find that tiny little button.

I know it looks suspect - new poster - got busted - scare all growers...

But I've been caught now so I can post as much as I want without the paranoia.

Just got to worry about my court case now...
