First off, sure they might not be able to get a warrant for seeds alone but that's what gives them the excuse for the house call and questioning. Regardless of how it went, if they weren't going to be let in and they still wanted in all they had to do was give the universal excuse of "smelling weed". They don't even smell it most of the time. That's just their cover for having a reason to pry further into people's privacy. If they suspected due to gWeese's reaction, they go tell the judge that they smelled weed, he had seeds, he was nervous etc and then they get the search warrant. It may take a day or two even but if they want in, they will bullshit their way in one way or another. That's how it works.
As far as LoudBlunts is concerned, don't worry too much about what he has to say. Dickheads are a dime a dozen on the internet.
Some of the woulda coulda shouldas aren't directed at you in a critical manner as much as they are being said for others to heed as well should they find themselves in the same situation. You fiance is like most everyone else. People are intimidated by the police and just have no clue or experience with how to react safely. They feel openness and honesty is the best course because in alot of parts of our lives, it is. It's not even wise to lie to the cops. The best course is to just be silent.
I sympathize with you and commend you for not blaming her at all. You are correct there and I know it must hurt to know that your harmless hobby brought this witch hunt to your doorstep. Don't feel guilty for what you did though. You did nothing to hurt anyone, even yourself. You are actually a victim here of other people's hate and our society's crime against you.
One real blessing about all of this is that you are caught with enough to charge you with only a misdemeanor. That is so much better than a felony. In many states any cultivation is an automatic felony.
I do talk to people around me about how to deal with police, especially those in my household including my teenagers. I grill them on it at times just to hammer important points home. I want them to know their rights and to not always be so trusting when they or someone they care about are the focus of any investigation or questioning. Many innocent people are harmed by honest things they say once it is twisted, misconstrued or taken out of context. Alot of bogus threats and fear tactics are used in order to get information that can be turned against someone.
All of you need to remember these things and need to talk about them with people close to you whether you are partaking in something illegal or not. You don't want to get charged and convicted of something you had nothing to do with just because of an over zealous investigation and the courts that support those strong arm and dishonest tactics.
calm down grasshopper...aint nobody started being negative until you started throwing a fit and calling names.OnSolomonsGrave - no laws have changed....it was my dumb ass mistake
deciding to use my name and address. having the seeds sent to my
address probably isnt illegal enough to get a warrant, but try to put
yourself in my shoes and keep in mind i have severe anxiety disorder...so
at the time i was freakin the fuck out and not thinking clearly...yes i made
mistakes....but there will always be a would coulda shoulda. and when
they left they did say they had enough to go get a warrant and they would be back...
when i first opened my door and they started in on me about the
seeds i denied it...and kept insisting a warrant. they said when i first
opened the door they could smell burnt maryj, and they said they knew i
was lying due to the beads of sweat running down my face and my heart
beat could be seen thru my chest! THey new i had plants...and i kow
they thought i had a lot....and they wouldve been back with a warrant for sure....
so i took the 50/50 chance of discarding them in the corn field....and in a
way that fucked me....and in a way it helped me since they never found
the plants.
i mean what wouldve happend if they came back within the hour with
warrant....then i wouldve been caught with the plants inside my house.
i know you arent trying to dicredit what happend...
i knew that telling this story on hear...i would get a lot of people saying
you shouldve done this...shouldve done that.... but never did i think i
would get such negative comments from someone on here(LoudBlunts)
But its cool...ive dealt with guys like him before and all you do is tell them
to go to hell and leave it at that.
Dan Abis - you are exactly correct...everything you said, is right on! Thanks again for the wordz!First off, sure they might not be able to get a warrant for seeds alone but that's what gives them the excuse for the house call and questioning.

LoudBlunts - how about you just stay out of this thread man...i mean nobody wants to hear what you say...your a dickhead man, face it...dont call it constructive criticism...call it being a dickhead...trying to justify your dickheadedness is pointless...we all know from your posts on rollitup...your a dickhead.calm down grasshopper...aint nobody started being negative until you started throwing a fit and calling names.
its called telling it like it is! constructive criticism....im not about to sugar coat ANYTHING...
nothing in the mail. cops haven't been back? what up? So all they have is a fan leaf? fight it your golden! What about the equipment they took? if your not charged with a crime you should get you stuff back as well.
it was the state police...i kinda live in a small town...but its very close to Indianapolis....my neighborhood is pretty big...and fairly new...lots of neighbors that dont like anyways due to them thinking i have viscous dogs...but now im sure they think i am a druggy with viscous dogs.GW, I'm wondering, do you live in a small town? I'm just curious because small town cops would try to get a bust out of this seed info they got, expecially this being an election year and all. I also understand the laziness of small town cops when it comes to searching a cornfield in the dark during a storm for pot plants.
Personally I don't think they have anything on you. One fan leaf is not bust worthy. I think they pictured charging in your house in their glory, busting your with pounds and being the town heroes, only to be denied and now they look like assholes. Outwitted, Outplayed, Outlasted.
Did you watch that youtube don't talk to the cops thing? I am and it's the greatest piece of informational work ever.
Nope...but whatever they find in that field wasnt mineI was just curious, I live in a small town and it is just the type of shit you'd expect to see here from the cops. Did you say you got rid of the plants out of the field? ( I can't remember, I know I read all the posts, damn pot-heimers lol)
Cops are dicks, sorry to hear about your trouble, we're nearly neighbors, I'm just over the border in IL.
