would u stop growing if LEO moved in next door?

You should clear everything out, then invite him and his significant other over for a cook out. Then after everyone is full and fat and happy whip out a bowl and see if he partakes! If he does then he's probably down with your grow. :hippy:

Ok, maybe not but I think Atl01 really knows the answer to this the best. You know how big you're going, how far away the cop really is, is he a patrol officer or the worst and is on the anit-drug trafficing task force, the climate in the neighborhood (filled with a bunch of older retired people who never leave the house and gossip about that suspicious guy who keeps to himself that's up to no good or a younger neighborhood with lots of people visiting each other, stuff like that), what other things you are doing that may attract attention or whether other neighbors like you. I have a feeling you already know the answer to what you should do.

I don't know if I would but I have lived in a neighborhood with three coppers in it, one on the same street about 10 houses down. I never let that alter my lifestyle one way or the other but then again I wasn't growing.

If you continue it might not be a bad idea really to befreind the cop, get in on his good side, maybe give him a welcome to the neighborhood gift like a subscription to donut of the month club. :rastasmoke:

Edit: While I was writing this, yeyo posted a little story about how he broke bread with his neighbor and they're inching closer to checking out the police evidence room together!

Don't the ones that have the "pot smelling puppies" get to take them home?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Yeah fnatic has it right! Be friendly when you see him and talk to him like you would anyone else living around you. Dont let him start to think your keeping your distance because hes a cop. Think on the bright side, at least your house is a little safer with that cop car parked next door. I wouldnt stress to much, it sounds like you have it covered. I doubt he has a flir lying around and even if he did that could always be your laundry room or something along those lines but one things for sure if he did have a flir, hes not just going to single you out so dont give him any reason to. I donâ??t think your in any more danger of a flir than you were before he moved in.

wow guys, thanks for all the great advice. I don't think I'll be inviting him over to my house any time soon, but dont mind throwing my hand up to wave when I see him. I talked to him once when they were looking at the house but didnt know he was a cop. he seemed like a pretty nice guy. I thought about taking him a basket of veggies from my garden or something. another thing I have working in my disadvantage is my full sleve on my left arm, but I know tons of people with tats who dont smoke. I'm sure I'm just being over paronid. oh and the vape idea is great any links to some decent ones.

Oh, I left this out. Looking into a house with FLIR or any other infrared system requires a warrant in the U.S. Anything that aides the naked eye (besides binoculars, telescope, etc) requires a warrant. Now some people will tell you that the cops are really out to get us and they will use the infrared without a warrant to find people then try to dig up enough legally obtained evidence to get a warrant and never mention the FLIR but I'm not so sure about that.

I know u need a warrant, but whats kepping him from scaning my house just for the hell of it.

You got kids? Kids talk. Your kid starts hanging out with his kid, you've got yourself a potential problem.
I would be veddddy veddddy careful...

[atl01]

my room is right next to the hot water heater and one of the walls backs up to the garage which is always hot. so i think flir would get some weird readings if they did. stinky yes I have a very young child but do nothing mj related around her so that's not an issue.

He would still have no proof or atleast none that he could use. If he scanned you house he would be doing it as a citizen not a cop. Sure this would make him pissed and try to find other ways but just dont give him any.

Plus you really dont need to worry. Those machines cost a LOT of money and they are not the normal thing for a cop to have on a tool belt. The only way i could think he would be able to get his hands on one (other than buying his own) Would be to borrow from his department or one that has one and im sure to do that they would want to know what he needed it for. I dont think anyone is going to go threw this much trouble unless they already have a REAL reason to do so and i dont think tattoos will be that reason. I really have no idea but if i were in your position, these are the things i would be thinking about, if for nothing else atleast to calm myself down. You'll be alright just remember what everyone on here has said. Trust me worse things have happened :thumbsup:

guys and girls. thanks for all the great advice. I poped some beans a few days ago and really been swetting bullets about starting them, but feel a little better now. also with a vaporizer how much smell is there, sure its less than smoking blunt?
