There are many tactics to get an officer permission to enter one's house. This one is classic....

The 911 call goes out from a woman on a cell phone parked outside the house (to verify her proximity to the house). She tells the police that she's being held hostage in the house by a rapist and gives the address and is suddenly cut off as she screams. The police show up and search the house. Because there is enough evidence of a person receiving harm if the police do not act, they WILL/MUST search the house.

Since this was a "burglary" call, I have to assume a neighbor made the call (perhaps seeing someone going after some free bud) and nobody was at the residence when the police arrived, then that neighbor becomes the necessary tool to get the police to enter the home.

2500 lbs of dried cured weed (unless skunk), doesn't produce near the odor a fresh grow room produces with just a few plants. I seriously doubt the police got a whiff of it.

I wonder how many cops looked like stuffed scarecrow after hauling the weed off.:stoned:
