BAD NEWS!!!!!
GROW GOT BUSTED!!!!!
I might as well tell the whole story.
We had some people over after the bars last night. One of the girls got up and left without saying a word around 3:30am and we never saw her again. One of her friends called me at 7:30 saying she was missing and her parents were looking for her and they had called the cops. I say what I know and fall back asleep until 8:30am. I wake up again to knocking at the door. I hear my buddy who had slept down in the family room talking about a missing girl. He doesn't know the girl well and doesn't live with me so I went down to talk to the people, who I soon find out are cops. The cops are in my entrance and they start telling me how they NEED to look in the house for this missing person. I hesitate... and am very aprehensive saying that she is not in the house. They insist saying that it's essential to finding this girl.
My house is a grow-house (so aptly named by the cops), and we blaze in it everyday. The cops smelled it and actually said "We don't care if you're growing weed" we just want to look for this girl. I reluctantly let them in. They checked rooms until eventually they came upon Mexico. The room is named Mexico because it has 4 cabinets in it; Acapulco, Bueno Vista and Cancun which make up The Wall (A,B,C); and the 4th cabinet is called Lazy. Only Acapulco and Bueno Vista were filled with plants. The immediate remark of the officer upon entering was "I could see why you didn't want to let us in". He looked in every cabinet and stumbled upon our ladies. He seemed unphased by the rather large operation. He called his buddy in to look at it and the second officer says "We're going to have to seize this".
The takeover of my house was unwarming. Literally! All the lights, hoods, reflectors, fans, tubs, panda paper, fertilizers, tools, pumps, air stones, air hosing and of course the plants. The officers layed everything out on our driveway to do an inventory. In total, their count came to 192 plants. I didn't get a number on anything else. It took them awhile to finally haul everything out, but within the first 30 minutes, the first news channel showed up. About 20 minutes later, the second news channel showed up. TWO different local TV news casts! Plus a photojournalist; I have no idea what company, if any, he was from. Also taken was 3 ounces of bud, various scales, pipes, honey oil, crystals, salvia.
No one in the house got charged with anything, because the officer kept his word about not looking for plants, but of course, he still had to seize them. I actually can really admire that but I feel that I was coherced into letting them in. They made it seem like I had no choice but to let them in. ITS TRUE WHEN THEY SAY DON'T LET COPS IN EVER, they will break down the door if they're allowed to come in. My mind was in another place when the cops showed up at my door, I was thinking about the girl. You can never lose site that cops don't ever belong in your house!
Of course, with any other post, I have pictures!
