well all i had a knock on the door last night at around 10:20pm...two state cops were at my door! Went outside and they said they had reason to believe i had marijuana growing inside the house...i of course kept denying...then they whipped out the seeds that i had purchased from a bean shop over the net. i kept saying anyone couldve used my name and address...but they didnt listen...they kept trying to convince me to come in and look around....i said no...come back with a warrant. They said they'll be back and left. i started freaking the fuck out...i have anxiety disorder so you can imagine how i was literally freaking out! i immediately went to my closet and starter cutting down my four plants...which were just beginning flower stage. But of course theres no way i could get rid of all my equipment...i got 3 trash bags and started filling them...there is a mature corn field behind my house and my only thought was to go into the field and displace all my plants out there....so i dressed in black and went outside and started my way to the field. we have a privacy fence in the back so i tossed the bags over the fence and then followed...running zigzag deep into the field...sweating and freaking my ass off! as i was coming back after dispensing my plants...i got to the edge of my fence and the field and i suddenly heard...GET ON THE GROUND JOE! Then flashlights were shining in my eyes and i was thrown to the ground with a couple glocks pointed at my face. they cuffed me...and let me sit up against a tree, as they called the k-9 unit...then they went off into the cornfield in search of what i disgarded...they came back at least 10 min later with nothing...by then it had started to storm and it started pouring...i was placed in the cop car and they went to talk with my fiance....i was pretty much busted, so no reason to deny it now what i was doing...i mean what the hell i was running threw a corn field late in the night...right after they came to my door suggesting i was growing...so my fiance let them inside to look around...


long story cutt short....they confiscated my 400w ballast and my 250w ballast along with one reflector i had...everything else was left...flood table..etc. My fiance said they took pictures of my closet setup...i was still in the cop car at this point. They called me back into the house and told my they will not arrest me tonight...but to expect a court order soon.
They were actually really nice guys...which is usually unheard of! They also found like one fan leaf and took that, but never found any plants...although i didnt deny i discarded them in the field...the rain kept them from searching. They also said if i wouldve been upfront with them when they first came to my door, and just admitted it and let them take everything, they wouldnt have charged me...but thats hard to believe.

so please all, take this as a lesson learned to not be a foolish dumbass and never buy beans using your address and name...i know its my fault since i did not follow one of the golden rules....i will pay for the consequences...i feel ashamed! But i can say i have read threads on here from ones that said they use their personal info all the time and havent gotten anything from it...well simply put...DONT BE A FOOL LIKE ME!

by the way i never received a letter from customs...according to the cops, depending on the state, customs might not send a warning letter, just simply give the info over to the state cops and they can do what they want.


i am assuming since this is a misdemeanor in IN i will have to pay a fine and be on probation for a couple years....this is my first ever offence bsides when i was a minor, when i got busted for less than a bowl of hootch.

Time to change my life guys:cry:...later

i am sad to hear this, and also a little scared. i live in an apartment complex and had seeds delivered to some friends a few rooms down, and just changed a few letters in my name where it sounded the same phonetically, but yet the front desk still fixed the name on the envelope and delivered it to my apartment...
im pretty sure im in the clear, but im moving to a new house with some guys in august anyway

and i agree with you, i doubt the cops wouldnt have done anything if you admitted it. its a good lesson to the rest that cops can be sneaky and scare you right into their trap.

i thinkall who use a prepaid card and have them sent somewhere where there is no growop...you still should be safe...just dont make the FOOLISH mistake i did and use your own name and address when ordering.

i havent felt right all day...my body is going thru some major panic attacks...even hours later from the incident...

i went and told the story to my parents...and they did make me feel a lil better and said as long as i and my family and friends know am still a good person, and not a criminal...just i chose to smoke wreefer in place of drinking alchohol...thats all that matters. Honestly i felt really ashamed...i mean i will always have an good opinion on maryj and will never look at it as a horrible drug...but when i got arrested when i was a teen...i swore to myself and others that it would never happen again. it is all just pathetic how society is so hipocritical...have a beer your in the clear...smoke a joint and yo'll wind up in the joint....now how is that not hipocritical!

anyways my worries now are my career. i am a mechanical designer at a really good company and have been with them for five years as an in house contract employee...and there has been talk recently to hire me direct considering having me on contract for so long could hurt the company legally...and it just made sense to bring me on board as a direct employee, but unfortunately they will run a background check and see this misdemeanor offense of mj cultivation is on my record....they wont hire me.

booh hooh me....like i said my fuck-up and now i have to pay the price


later

Nirvana....white widow and something else i cant remember....like i said though i think if you do it right...they wont catch you...i live in IN, so it probably was caught at the Chicago customs....and i have read they have been catching on to the bean shops stealth packaging....and in this case there was never a letter sent...they just contacted state police

"Nice Cops" are you kidding? They didn't have anything. Even when they caught you outside, they still had nothing! Even if they found the plant outside which they didnt, they have NOTHING. But when your finance let them take pictures of your op and take a fan leaf, that gave them enough to get a warrant to arrest you and charge you. Thats why they didn't arrest you that night. Get an attorney and FIGHT it!!

Sounds like some lame dog, couldn't find a whole bag in a field.
You can still beat this, get a pot lawyer, don't say ANYTHING to the authorities.
Cops are sneaky, they wouldn't have charged you if you came clean.......NOT!
They will take ANYTHING you say and twist it so say NOTHING. If the cop says "So you're growing for distriution?" And you say "You're crazy.You think I was going to sell it?'" When the DA questions him he'll say "His exact words were "I was going to sell
it" ". Out of context? It's his word against yours, who wins that one?
There's a great YouTube tutorial on how to deal with the cops in a bust. I'll find the link. You REALLY should read it...NOW.
Good luck.

Can't find it now.
Talk to a lawyer now. It'll seem cheap when you have a clean record and a new job.
DO NOT talk to the authorities!

Go find that stuff in the field and really get rid of it. You are lucky in the sense that they got only enough to charge you with a misdemeanor (less than 30g cultivation in Indiana).

If they got the rest, you will be charged with a felony. Like you and everyone else reading your story knows, that if you would have let them in in the first place they would have busted you big time. There is no way in hell they would have just taken the stuff and left you alone after that.

Too bad your fiance let them in. Even though at that point they "may" have been able to get a search warrant, I still would have made them get it. It would have given you time to get rid of the misdemeanor amounts down your toilet. Having lights aren't illegal and those seeds were never in your possession. I bet when they first came and confronted you that they watched you afterwards to see if you would start dumping stuff. If they would have caught you with stuff outside than it would have made it much easier to get in your house and search it. I am not sure if seeds in the mail would have been enough for them or they would have gotten a warrant in the first place. They knew to watch your place and see how you would react.

Thank you very much for your information about the mail order seeds. That could help alot of people here who do this stuff illegally. Also for everyone else here. Tell your housemates to never let anyone in without a warrant if you are the target of their investigation and never admit anything for any reason because it will only hurt you, not help you. Police aren't there to make friends. Their job is to make arrests and gather the evidence needed to convict you. The easiest way is to give them a confession. Even if its damn well obvious what you were up to, just don't say anything. You have plenty of time after you work with your attorney to admit your guilt.

The cops are full of bs. If you had admitted everything right away you would have gone to jail right away. You weren't arrested because they didn't find your plants and the equipment they found isn't illegal by itself. You did one thing right by not admitting anything. You shouldn't have tried to throw your crop out right away. Did you think that the cops weren't going to watch you from across the street after they confronted you?

I dont even answer the door for cops. If they dont have a warrant just ignore the knocking. Thats what i did when i had the po'po at my door suspicious that i was growing. I waited till i saw them left, then had a friend drive down the street for me to check if cops were watching from a distance. When he gave me the all clear i cut every thing the fuk down and got those plants outta there faster than any thing iv ever done. Cops at ur door when growing illegally is probably the scariest thing you can experience

i appreciate the wordz guys....and i know there will always be "woulda,

coulda ,shoulda...my fiance doesnt smoke and she didnt even ever look at

my stuff...she allowed it, as she understands its not a drug, persay....so

in hinesight she was naive when the cops were at the door saying "we've

caught him in the cornfield with the plants" and she said " well if i

cooperate and let you in will this help Joe" and of course they said

yes...letiing us in and cooperating will help him...so thats what she did. I

cant and will never blame her...more ashamed of myself for allowing her to

go thru something like this...when i promised her it wouldnt ever happen.
