Has this ever happened to you?

Blue Cat,

I do think it was a mistakeâ?¦.and they probably said it was a problem with the system because it sounds better than â??sorry we fucked up.â?� A million things could have happened like the dispatcher gave them wrong address or maybe they transposed the numbers in their own headâ?¦happens all the time.

As far as them barging inâ?¦..it depends what the 911 call was about. If it sounded like someone was in serious trouble than no they would not say â??excuse me, is everything ok hereâ?� they would just come the fuck in. The 911 call is all the probable cause they would need to enter your home.

If they had been out to get you for whatever reason they would NOT have left until they finished what they came for. They are not going to barge into someoneâ??s home in the middle of the night without a search or arrest warrant only to say â??erâ?? nevermindâ?� because they know it would be thrown out (therefore a waste of their time.)

The good news is that if they had found anything like your stash. Than it would have been thrown out of court. (1) Because phone records would be able to prove that you didnâ??t call 911. (2) They didnâ??t have a warrant or permission to enter your home. It would have been an illegal search and seizure.

And if you call and complain about them all it will do is draw more unwanted attention towards yourselfâ?¦my advice is let it go.

I believe it was an honest mistake.

Dang, sum cops r fuckin tards.

I wasnt going to comment since I didnt have anything constructive to say but I read likemclever's post and had to say "well said" since it was bang on.

Thank you so much likemclever :) ...it was really nice of you to help put my mind at ease..

I talked to a lady today that lives a few houses down from me she in her 80s and it happened to her too...
So I am less worried now...

But it still a shock that they could just come in like that.....its something to think about if you have a grow op...I guess if the cops are at the door you can ask through the door what they want and if they give the 911 excuse go outside and talk and don't let them in. By the time they get a warrant you can redecorate...lol

Up until 9/11, it was unheard of for police to do that. It was entirely illegal for a police officer to enter your home uninvited, withouth a warrant of just cause produced by the courts.

Unfortunately, we live in a NEW country, which enacted the "Patriot Act", which means (in as few words as possible) that the police can do anything they want. All they have to do is throw the caveat of "terrorism" into the mix, and they are now legally allowed to enter a home without a warrant, and to search the premises. As far as I know they still need a warrant in order to actually sieze anything, but that's not a chance I would want to take with my family.

The chain lock is a good idea, and from this point on I would keep your shit a little more well hidden. The fact that it happened to a neighbor shouldn't put you at ease in the LEAST, that just means it's happening to more people than just you and that's even worse.

DAMN THE MAN. That is all.

Exactly right. This is one stoner who knows his/her law. Who says all potheads are dumb and ignorant.?

one night we smoked like 6 bongs and had a shot or two of vodka, and we accidently knocked this phone off the hook and the speed dial got hit, so 911 got called but when they called back all that got was static so the cops came out. It was like 3 in the morning when they came. First we werent going to answer teh door, cuz it was just normal knocking, then knock knock again, then BOOM BOOM BOOM. so we answer the door the cops come in(the vodka is right on the ground) one cop(theres two) was like hey do you smell anything i got a cold(reaks like weed)? Other cop, nah just smells like some incense(thank god!!!) THen they just get our names and leave oh and made sure no one was driving. Good thing thye didnt go downstairs i had liek an oz, my scales baggys, and right over the fence in my backyard is a school, so im within a 100 yards of it, then thatd be selling charges too, ahhh god it was scary!

Souns like the Police did screw up.

Be forewarned some cordless phone act wacky as the battery dies!!
They will dail 911 on their own!!
Get rid of your cordless phones as no warrent or tap is needed for them.
