This could potentially be very bad...

[krystaaaa x 420]

Ok so this morning I get a call from my best friend. She tells me that a detective called her house this morning because somehow they found out about the drug deals my friend has been making via her cell phone. We still have no idea how this happend because it was a philly cop who is the reason for this and she doesnt and hasnt made drug deals in philly in a whiiile. Only down where she lives. So her mom questioned her and took away her cell phone. The detective said the situation is being investigated right now. Now, the thing that I'M worried about, other than my best friend getting locked up, is me getting in trouble along with her. The detectives have all her calls in tap, and although I havent heard anything about text messages, I dont see why they wouldnt investigate them too. That's where it becomes a problem for me. Ive texted my friend many times asking if she could get tree for me. So, when/if they see this, am I gonna be fucked too? Neither of us can afford anything like this to happen. I'm like really worried. Not only for her, but now I have to worry about me getting in trouble along with her

Well for starters, goofball, take down your pic from your avatar, silly thing!!!
Your parents are going to get a call and you are going to get grounded.
Then you will have even more time to post here!

[S.W.I.M. 504]

the detectives might say things like '' we know what you did '' or '' we know who you talked to'' to trick you into saying things that they really dont know, just deny deny deny.

I gotta call WTF on this. Wire taps cost a lot of money, are not granted by judges that easily, and require a lot of man hours to perform. Are you serious that this chic who can get her cell phone taken away from her by her mom is going to be this high on the wanted list that they tapped her phone? It sounds like her mom is either paying the bill or she lives with her mom or parents so somehow I don't see this chic as being the next coming of Pablo Escobar.

I don't find it that surprising. Lots of cops tend to bust the bigger "teenage dealers" because they have nothing better to do. I've had cops come to my house because people I know were getting put in juvey....really not that rare in a bigger city. And yeah just expect a call or something if this is true, or a visit from DA 5-0 lol. But cops only came here because people use to think I was a drug dealer because of stupid ass parents telling eachother that they think i'm some type of drug dealer, just because I started doing drugs younger than lots of people.

The thing that sounds strangest to me is the part about a detective calling her house on the phone. Why would they tip her off? If they're going to arrest people, I'd think that they would just come and do it. Usually, there is a buy-and-bust type of scene, or they search your dwelling and person. Sounds fishy, like it's a ripoff artist, or a hoax. The people that sent text messages requesting weed probably have nothing to worry about in the event that it is a real investigation. Maybe they'll be pushed to be witnesses, in which case I would recommend a lawyer. This is all just speculation, as I've never been arrested or had any significant legal problems with weed.

Basically, if there has been nothing confiscated from her, and she hasn't been caught in the act of committing a crime, it probably isn't serious.

Like S.W.I.M. 504 said, just deny everything. If arrested, which is unlikely, don't say anything without an attorney present. They can't put somebody away for reasons solely based on text messages about weed.

[weedmaster]

the first thing the police would do is confiscate her cell phone.

Cell phone scanners are pretty cheap and you would be amazed at how many old farts with nothing better to do own them>One of our "pillars of the community" may have overheard conversations and dropped a dime on your ass.Keep drug communications over any phone to a minimum.

stinky i like the meter..LOL..thats cool

[Blitzed]

Sounds like your friends been HOSED!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Well Krystaaaa I don't think you have to worry much as long as you do a couple simple things. Those being: Stash your weed somewhere that's not on your property for a while, and if the cops question you say you're "off the drugs" as a health decision. If there's nothing in your house, and you insist you're commiting no crimes, what can they do?

[DaPolarBear]

I gotta say someone ratted, or some old fart with a cell phone scanner overheard and ratted. But yeah, figuring out things to say that are fairly nondescript helps.

I am glad that I am 45 years old living in California and do not have to worry about situations like the one described in the top post.
It must really suck to be a kid now a days and want to be a pot head. It sure was not like that for us in the 70s, weed was everywhere and everyone smoked it including the cops.
What happened to the kids of this generation? Where did they lose their way?

dunno shit changes brother.

but im 16 and paraniod i dont like to talk about things on the phone.

that does seems likely that some guy with no life and a scanner picked it up that crap is pretty gay.

[Blindman0v0]

There are still a fair amount of cops that smoke today.They're just a lot more careful about it than back in the 70's.60's and 70's were definitely the golden years for us old potheads.lol

[trynagethigh]

all you gotta do is use some stupid code sentence like, if your lookin to get a 20 piece, tell your friend "Hey, Mr. Jackson's here and he wants/needs you to take him home, can you stop by and pick him up? Or "Hey Mr.Grant is here and hes dying to meet you. Get the idea? In this game you gotta be creative with your wording. Make sure youve explained this (in person of course) to whoever you deal with ahead of time so they know what the hell ur talking about.

[Chronisseur]

May I be the first?
FUCK THE POLICE!



(yeah, I know. I'm wicked smaht!)

[zino11]

why why i stay with a ground line

[stinkyattic]

aww chron, if you ever NEED the police, you'll start to appreciate them. Last time I needed them, they were there for me... even though I had an attic full of plants, lol. And the cop they sent was a cutie too, lol!!!

Fuck SNITCHES is more like it. AAARGH I hate them.

What happened was 35 years ago Nixon screwed us all by shelving a report that recommended the decriminalization - see the NORMAL website for details. It is insane- like you, I was smoking in the mid-70's and we all thought it was only a matter of time until it was legal. Then the Right grabbed the wheel and we've been controlled ever since. I wish kids today would realize they have the power to help get us back on track.

Stink, I say that w FEW exclusions. There are a few cops out there left to protect and serve,(which I do have the utmost respect for). The problem is the majority, are generally insecure and overzealous. I've seen many sides of many stories and experienced more than nessecary. To this day I shake and twitch in the presence of police after being brutally assaulted on numerous occasions as a youth. I've been diagnosed w 2 separate PTSD's as a result of what I understand to be bad representations of the force. Still, I see WAY TOO MANY corrupt cops, abusing their authority at the cost of good peoples freedom and lives.
B4 I go let me reitterate, I DO HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR OFFICERS TRUELY DEDICATED TO PROTECTING AND SERVING THEIR COMMUNITIES!!!

Can you understand?

[Anubis10012007]

Was your friend dealing more than just cannabis? LEO tend to get more involved when it involves multiple drugs like coke and X. I don't touch those nasty ass drugs anyway. Just weed.

It would be quite pathetic for the cops to investigate this if she was just a petty weed dealer, but that is how the pigs make a living...off of the misery of others. These cops are the true danger to society. They are no different than the alcohol prohibition officers of the 20s. Just a different substance.

My advice to you is NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING ON YOU for maybe a couple weeks just to be safe. Don't make any deals on your phone or even via text and IM. You never know if they will raid your house. I live with that fear everyday, although they will never find anything NOT EVEN CLOSE to felony amounts or anything that would put me away for a long time in my house. Lol I'm always one step ahead of the cops.

They will definitely need a warrant to search your house, but if they come and knock on your door and ask to search....tell them YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO A SEARCH at all and that they need a warrant as prescribed by the 4th amendment of the US Constitution. I would read up on cannabis law too. If they just barge right in, remain silent and answer no questions because any evidence will be thrown out if there is no warrant. All you need to tell them is that you do not consent to a search of your things and belongings and that you will answer no questions without the presence of an attorney. It equals an illegal search.

I make sure when I call my people not to use specific words like weed, cannabis, etc. Just "stuff" and "shit". Start doing that if you make deals.

However, it is generally the dealers that they go after, not buyers. But it reverses at times.

If cops actually did work, they would find that it costs around $30,000+ to keep one person locked up in jail for a year. Hmm....not so effective.

Let them snoop in on all the calls they want....LEO will still only make a minor dent in the drug trade. How shocking. lol.

Prohibition.......aint it a bitch?!

If anything like that was true they'd have the phone by now, not her. A detective calling her? I dont think so.

Sounds dodgy as fuck.

Anybody feel what Im saying?:wtf:

as long as your friend isnt lugging around an analog phone u have no problems, all newer phones are digital. digital phones even if your on the correct frequency can not be understood by even a tech inclined individual. no one can hear unless its the .gov
also, cell phone scanners are fairly cheap, 1-2k. (those being the analog phones)

[LIP]

If you have the know how, you can build them for VERY cheap. Same as you can build a police radio scanner. You can get all the parts easily, and if you do it one by one you dont look suspicious at all. If i was bothered enough to, i could go out and make one tonight. But i dont need it so i wont.
