Sound stupid? I thought it was all BS so I ordered 90% of my grow room off of ebay and now my account keeps getting locked up and I am getting errors I havent had with e-bay for the years I have been dealing with them. I just ordered about 10 different packs of flowering and vegitable seeds (at .39 a pack) to maybe dissuade the third reich from showing up at my door.
Dont let the "priivate listing" or "identity private" or "private" anything thing fool you either.. thats a bunch of B.S. too.
Oh and another tip.. if you go to a hydroponics shop be ready to talk about that tomato plant you are growing and the bell peppers you want to get started.. seriously, the guy in the shop started into me with twenty questions and I know I failed.. I could tell he was questioning me and he acted different after. I was pretty rattled and by the time I left the store with the goodies I forgot which freakn car I drove to the shop (not mine of course) and was walking around the parkinglot aimlessly looking for a car i recognized. It was not a smooth day for me :(
When I go into the store, they ALWAYS love to try and chat me up. I finally found the best way to avoid all talking with the sales people without being rude.
Be on your cell phone :D Call your girlfriend, best friend whatever and now it will be rude of "them" to try and have a conversation with ya.
"Yeah can I get 2 bottles of GH bloom? Thanks. :cocks head a bit: What babe? Oh yeah, that stacy girl is fricken annoying.... blah blah blah.
glad it wasnt just me!
Im telling you.. I must have sounded like a moron.. He was like.. "whatcha growin" and I was COMPLETELY off guard.. I thought it was gunna be dont ask dont tell like a headshop.. haha.. WRONG..
I was like "uhh.... tomatoes" and he was like "what kinds?" and I dont know freakn anything about tomatoes.. so Im like "big ones.." and "you know the red kind"
oh yea and he stood at the door watching me walk aimlessly around the parking lot looking at the cars trying to remember which one i drove up in while carrying a 50l bag of hygrodon, gallons of nutes, and enough rockwool to replant a forrest.
Soooooo not a slick day for me :)
well locnar, got busted and the cops told him paypal confirmed his buying hydro equipment...put that in your pipe and smoke it! peace
locnar didnt play his cards right with the cops either.. not tryin to be an asshole but.. if cops dont have a warrent they dont come in the house.. PERIOD.. thats the rules and dont let them brake the rules.. remember that they exist because you.. the american citizen.. allow them to! You want them to.. because most of the cops most of the time are out there doing good things and messing with bad people.. unfortunantly sometimes they develope the mindset that allows them to treat us like bad people.. but we arent (most of us anyways.. haha), so just take it with a grain of salt but stay true to the bill of rights.. because they are right.. and you are right.. and the second ammendment is right.. hahaha.. Ok I will stop..
The moral of the story is C.Y.A. and be ready for anything.. walk thru conversations and actions with cops before they happen.. use the internet to find out what your powers are.. and expecially check for dialoge that is predetermined for use by lawyers.. it is out there.. look for it.. how to answer a cop type of Q&A from a legal standpoint.. PRACTICE.. and be ready to respectfully refuse the police when you have the legal right to do so.. they WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU DONT>>> Dont listen to the cops.. listen to lawyers, and know how its going to play out in advance.
I know what the conversation will be like if a cop shows up without a warrent, I know what the conversation will go like if he does have a warrent.. I know what my local laws are and I know what I can and cannot be held liable for.. Do you????
We all know loc, fucked up by not telling them to hit the road, but that is in the past...he already opened the door.
you're not an asshole for pointing that out, i am just a close friend and i don't see any reason to stress him anymore, thinking about water under the bridge...If he were just another guy posting here...I would've already posted a statement similar to yours...peace.
You would think, with all the law and order shows...3 CSI shows...people would learn that cops are allowed to lie...outright, if it allows them to confirm their suspicions.
the reason loc, didn't react correctly and wasn't prepared, possibly...Is the fact that he is not a criminal. just another in a long line of people persecuted for his needs of medical marijuana. Locnar is a legitimate candidate for MMJ...peace
Unfortunately, your friend loc is a criminal now. Its sad to see our legal justice used to make non-criminal types into basicly, criminals. I hope your friend is prepard for what is happening. If he pleds or is found guilty his life got tougher, not impossible just way harder, I wish him luck. My partner came home, late at night after a week stay elsewhere, when first thing in the morning the popos come knocking on his door. He was told that "someone" called in a report of a weird smell, like drugs, and a yellow cloud coming from his house. He did not have any drugs on him or in the house and his roommates had been told not to bring that sort of stuff into his house, so when asked if the popos could search, he consented.Everyone knows that Williamson vs. U.S. set president in which a landlord cannot give the popos the right to seach tenants private areas. Well they found several grams of a white power identified as cocaine in the absent roommates room. My partner was arrested and eventually pled to attempted poss. for sale, just pay court cost and summary probation with suspended sentence of three years doc. My freind is an idiot to pled but his public pretender was to overworked to want to take this to trial. My freind is now finding out how hard it is to get a decent job with a felony record. The moral is to fight everything and never agree to anything the popos want to do, infact dont even open the door, if you have to say something and I mean really have to say something say it through the closed door.
Im sorry it was United States v Whitfield, 939 F.2d 1071 (D.C. Cir. 1991) not wiliiamson vs. U.S.
