Did you know cops could do this?

Alright so my buddy had a few plants growing in his house and shit and was starting to deal. Well aparantely some people from his neighborhood started to figure out what was going on. So three different neighbors told the cops that he was dealing drugs out of his house. So they busted down his doors and arrested him. They said that if three or more people from a neighborhood report somebody of dealing drugs that it was enough information to get a search warrant. Anybody else know that they could do this bullshit?

 

A friend of mines house at which we were partying got raided cause of one fucking neighbor saying we were selling drugs. I guess really they couldn't since they didn't have a warrant, but his stupid ass got scared and let them in.. It's like vampires or someshit.

 

Im not surprised, seems reasonable.

 

I do believe that if cops have reasonable suspicion or "evidence" of illegal activity that they can secure a search warrant.. By this I mean, if multiple neighbors call the cops and report your house as a drug house.. . Game Over... I may be wrong on this but after all the stuff I've seen....well.......

Peace,

and so, the benefits of living in not so well areas become more clear haha

i can justify living in such a poorly seen area as i do by the fact that the police HAVE to pay attention to real criminals but moreso, neighbors wouldnt complain lol

 

haha put signs up around your streets saying 'if you see any activity that suggests drugs being made or dealt, ring the drug protection department, at *a number of yours*'

then you coul get people telling you where the drugs are

 

what state?

 

stoned

 

well being the avid reader of cop dramas and a fan of law and order + being tight with cops over the years that i am yes i knew this. search warrants are quite easily obtainable. Something as simply as the lutienant being on well terms with the DA is enough to get a warrant alot of the time, as fucked up as that is.

 

Yeah, if they have reason enough to believe that there's somethin' goin' down, they can do that. It's fucked up, and I believe in lealization (to some extent), but that's life.

We need more liberals in this country >:/

 

Yeah, I knew. It's that "1984" idea, watch your neighbors. Big Brother wants us all against each other, spying on our friends and family for drug use or anything else "unusual." And they wonder why our communities are falling apart. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT US ALL SET AGAINST EACH OTHER, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

 

Oh yeah they can do that. Hell they can seize your house too. Funny though, was just talking about the spy society to a class for a presentation and one of the reasons the myths around mj are perpetuated is because if people realized for real they've been duped they might actually look in the other direction instead of at their neighbors. Well it's a loose theory anyway

 

Any decent lawyer with half a brain could get this case tossed.

 

my brother was accused of burning down a building so the fucking feds came to our house (right when we finished getting stoned) and we saw themm out side and the knocked for like a half an hour and we just pretended no one was home and then when my mom came home they came in.

 

whoa so did you pretend you weren't home when they came ? what happened?

 

Of course it's legal for them to do that. They have probable cause to search the house. If three people complained about it, your friend must really be sloppy about it.

 

maybe your buddy should have kept his shit a little more low key.... most people only get busted becuase they're doing something that screams out "hey look at what im doing!!!!!" maybe he'll learn from his mistakes.... i've never been caught doing anything with drugs before.... maybe its becuase i know how to keep my shit straight

 

Hell, I've been in sketchy deals that were really obvious (not my choice, of course) and it always scared me shitless. Bad stuff....

 

I wasen't with him when it happened luckily

 

Bill, you crack me up!
