POLICE in my driveway!!!

[Subzer0]

Well....I was sitting home watching TV and glaced over to look out the window. I see 2 cops walking in front of my yard on the road. One was uniform and the other was in a suit with a badge on his belt. I jumped up and started to spray deoderizer everywhere. As I sprayed i looked down the side of my house and there was 4 cop cars and like 7 cops in my driveway. They were hanging out talking. THATS WHEN I FREAKED OUT!!! I was SURROUNDED. I ran downstairs and turned my lights and fans off. I was going to pull them, but they stink soooo bad when you touch them wrong. I WAS SWEATING BULLETS. I ripped off my shirt(WAKE AND BAKE) printed on it. NOT COOL. I changed shirts and was going to find out what was going on......and they were GONE. Whats the F*** was that all about? Do you think they brought K-9 with them to check me out???

You dont think the cabon filters would mask the smell enough to fool the dogs outside in driveway? Dont the cops need a warrant to let the dogs smell around on my property?

I do. I think carbon scrubbers work as well as ozone generators. I have both and have found the carbon works just fine and is a lot cheeper. You can run a carbon scrubber inside the room to clean the air in the grow area. You can't do that with ozone.

To be honest I have a closed room with A/C so the only odor is from the door opening or when I need to change out the air in the room after a Co²cycle. I do run 2 carbon scrubbers one on the exhaust in the roof and another one stand aloned that runs 24/7 and cleans the air in the room.

I don't think they do. The laws only protect you from them searching somewhere where you have "legitimate expectation of privacy." Your yard, anything visible in your car, your garbage, can all be searched without a warrant, and anything they find could give resonable cause for a search of your home.

That is kinda freaky... did they ever knock on your door?

[Subzer0]

NO...they had the house surrounded. they were in the driveway and 2 others opposite side of yard. I was waiting for them to bust inside while I thought of a million excuses to throw at them as to why I have 2 grows going. Then they just left. It was very strange and my heart cant take another one. I think I had a mild stroke that day.

maybe they were gnna raid u but someone rang up about a muslim stuck up a tree and they thought it was a terror threat so rushed to him instead of raiding u .....

Just because theyve gone for now doesn't mean theyre gonna stay away.

They cud simply be waiting for a search warrant? checking out the place beforehand?

Any number of possibilities but To be honest, I'm very worriedthat you may be very far from being in the clear.

Who knows, cudda imagined it, they coulda been lookin for sumthin, coulda been nuthin to do with you, you'll have no idea unless they come for you.

And I really, sincerely hope they fuckin don't.

All the best,
