if a cop is outside your door you do not have to let them in. you don't have to open the door.This is my story.I;m sitting in my house about 10 pm on a sat.Here a knock look threw the glass door .Three fucking pigs.I'm stoned as hell house reaking.Do the open and shut like you did.A neighbor had called them down there.He said We smell pot let us in.Pretty much forced their way in.Searched my shit without my consint.Yea I got possetion under 30 grams and lost a real good job for getting busted.That was about 5 yrs ago things will get better.Sorry to hear of your mess.oregon024
YOU CANNOT BE COMPELLED TO TALK TO ANY POLICE OFFICER FOR ANY REASON!! all they can do is subpenea you as a material witness, at which point you can plead the 5th......
you should've just slid a paper under the table that read: I do not talk to police without an attorney present, and i do not consent to a search of my property, everybody inside this home is ok, nothing is wrong, please leave........ if they refused to leave it's trespassing.... and if they come with we're following up, you can tell them to follow up somewhere else cuz you aint talking to them....
they leave, you're in the clear.....
next time don't open the door. if the cops can come into you're house, they won't ask for permission, or have you open the door so they can 'smell' the pot..... they'll crash in, guns in the air, hollering their asses off... there is nothing illegal about you not opening the door for the cops. not talking to them is you're right. and not talking to them also means not having to go up to them to tell them you won't talk to them....
