In my experience, if the police come to your door and smell cannabis and want to do anything about it, they will enter your home right there and then (that happened to me and they used that as their excuse for entering the premise), even though they later said in their statement that I invited them in. If they do come to the door again asking questions, make sure you are both at the door so you can back each others statements up, otherwise it's their word against yours for false entry/search. I doubt they would go from thinking you are smoking it to growing it when you called in the report for the attack and basically had them round your house. Lateral thinking is not the beat bobbies strong point....

Depends where you are, what the bizzie is like, and who you are (as in if you are a scalled in trackies and a cap, or you're average hard working normal folk)

A good friend of mine got caught with literally 2 j's worth of hash, and his rents house got raided the next morning at 6am.

Where I'm from in Wales, we all sit,chill,swim by the many reservoirs by us, a good group of 10-20 of us, adults, having a laugh, smoking, few beers, guitars, bongos. Standard shit really.
Quite often the one solitary police officer comes up and just asks us if were local, then tells us to clear rubbish when we go and roll back grass if were having a fire. Leaves us be.

If I were you though pal, I'd be moving anything on top at all out of that house. At least for a week or so. You are on the radar to some extent, no matter how small.

My missus wouldn't ring the popo from our land line unless a real emergency ( not saying this wasnt, but being TOLD someone is being attacked is different from seeing it, when you go and get involved and fuck that prick up!). She knows better!

Now Zuma is a different animal for sure. It's quite sad to see the strong political blacks taking advantage of their own people (corruption, money for the boys is rife as you can imagine). Government tenders being offered to the "right" people, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more. And then there are characters like Malema (who managed to get a D in woodwork, lol) who is even scarier than Zuma. I think from an SA'ers point of view, they are all waiting to see what will happen now. Mandela seemed to be the gel in keeping the Unity of the Country together, even when he has not been in power. As a property owner in South Africa it will be interesting to see what happens down there now....
And funnily enough, prominent figures in Scotland have also been caught singing bigoted songs that are deemed politically and socially incorrect. It's a world wide phenomena for the people in power to be dumb mofo's, lol.

I agree with all of the above, the previous system of apartheid was scar on humanity, it is appalling that anyone should be forcibly removed from their homes....as always it is the poor and disenfranchised who suffer at the hands of political tyrants.......my point is not the old black white dialectic but the more fundamental creeping Zionism of which mandela is the African poster boy..(.as the lama is Asias....).... the ANC s mass murder rampage is but a blip compared to the 69,000 + gold miners that have died since mandela took power...nothing much has changed....but it will....Zuma s been caught singing the old songs, literally,......kill the Boer, kill the Farmer

Really appreciate the replies guys. I am convinced they would have come in there and then, not given me time to worry and get rid of evidence.

We are professional people, my girlfriend works full time for a charity and I am my elderly father's full time carer. No reason to suspect us IMO.

But better safe than sorry, It will remain at my dads house until the new year probably. (if a raid were to happen, it would surely have happened by then is my thinking)

Easy boys....fuck me that iso is strong had a little dabs worth in a joint last night it fookin battered me Lol I mean battered ...defo making that shit again its killer...well out of weed now and just got a little more kief for a joint which I'm gonna hammer in a min Lol...my main man better have 2nyt !!!

just want some advice please, apologies for hijacking topic/thread, just did not want to start a whole new thread..

Quick story..

The other night at around 11pm my girlfriend phoned the police as we had been told a young girl was being attacked in the street near our house, the Police came into the house to take some details, there was no smell of cannabis as we had not been smoking and nothing was said.

The police returned the next evening to take a few more details and as we had just had a joint, the house stunk and my girlfriend spoke to them in the porch without letting them properly in. When the enquiry was over, one officer said "are you smoking cannabis in there?" my girlfriend said no, he then asked if anyone else was smoking cannabis, to which my girlfriend said no.

The officer then said "we'll im not going to come in, but there was a strong smell of cannabis when you opened the door"

In your opinion, would the police think any more of that? In my eyes, it just looks like my girlfriend was lying cos she didnt want to get caught, and they let her off basically..

It has us both very paranoid now about the few plants we had growing (cleaned out within 10 mins of them leaving)

I am under the impression Police can tell the difference between growing and smoking cannabis smells, and if they suspected anything, they would have entered the property there and then, given probable cause of the cannabis smell?

What do you think about the situation? Justification for a raid/bust because she denied anyone was smoking cannabis(therefore they must be growing it)? Or just being a bit too paranoid?


I know nobody can give any definitive answers regarding the law, but any advice or feelings would be greatly appreciated.

so a reality check is needed....u are criminal scum who grow weed instead working hard..to them........don't phone the po when u are committing a crime

 

[shawnybizzle]

Lol Yeh and don't ever lead em to your gaff or you'll end up fucked!!!!!

 

[zeddd]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to shawnybizzle again.

Which is why my grow is in the loft and gets vented down into my bathroom through the reversed ceiling fan.

Once I've got a silencer fitted the cops can come have a shit in my house and would know any different.

 

[shawnybizzle]

Awww cheers mate haha well mans just phoned me says he got the stinky Lol sounds nice hope he was talking about weed??

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Zedd I have to tell you that your new avi boils my blood every time I look at it, that shit proper winds me up.

I'm not getting into it this early but it pisses me off probably for the same reason you put it up, well done..........

 

[welshwizzard]

Mate if they are looking for it when they come knocking, they are certainly going to check the loft.

I very rarely have anything grow related in my house I'm living in, and nothing in this house, ties to the other house.

It's my preferred way but obv sometimes you have to do one in your own gaff. Twitchy arse time before chopping!

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Mate if they are looking for it when they come knocking, they are certainly going to check the loft.

If they're knocking they aren't looking for weed.

 

[welshwizzard]

Figure of speech.

When they come kicking your door down. Better?

But they're not kicking my door down.

We were talking about letting cops into your home for unrelated matters, like taking a statement about a girl being attacked in the street.

 

[welshwizzard]

He also was asking would they come back.

They had already made a query on the smell. Which would give them probable cause if they wanted to?

My point is if they are coming back, and he does have a grow on, they will find it if they are looking for anything weed related.

I should not have said "your door" I should have said "his" door.

im sick in my mouth every time I look at it

 

[amsterdam2015]

Hi guys, all the stuff was removed literally the second they left, there is nothing left of the grow.

I just assumed they would enter the property there and then, if they thought anything was up, but I had to respect my girlfriends wishes, as she thinks they will make a return visit.


Would anyone suggest a time frame that you would start to feel confident after? It stands to reason and logic that a search warrant would be issued as soon as possible, to avoid anyone cleaning out the evidence.

Cheers

What they smelled when they came was BURNING cannabis btw, my grow was 100% smell free.
