There was a recent court ruling that said odor is not sufficient cause to search, but I can't recall who made the ruling or where. I'm sorry! I can ask around though if you like.
Now see, I thought it was CO courts that ruled smell is *not* probable cause. But I think you may be right.
I hate asshole neighbors. Seriously.
The cops get tons of calls about smell and from what I've heard is they send out code enforcement not the cops to fine your ass! I never answer the door unless I know who's out there. No warrant no entry. You open that door they will get in I promise you that.
Unless your neighbors have connections with the cops" and they may if they work for the government " I can not see them getting out to you that fast. And normally if they come as far as to pull in your driveway they will be knocking on your door to at least try to bate you into a crime.This was a county sherrif that pulled up. I can't find any laws regarding smell where I live, but it kind of hints that a call in about smell may allow the police to investigate further. I'm hoping their further investigation was just a drive by to smell, and the conclusion by the sheriff is that my neighbors are full of shit.
Never in my life will I ever let some pig fuck in my house to do a plant count. Legal or not.The advice so far is good. I agree with X that recreational regulations do not cap possession assuming the product stays where it is grown.
I know the pres. of a local HOA and they had a grow house in the neighborhood. Rather than talk to the homeowner, neighbor complained to HOA. HOA has no procedure so they call county sheriff, who shares his view that growing is not illegal, even if grandma across the street doesn't like 'all those illegal mexicans coming and going'. Sheriff's office goes to property for a knock and talk, people living in the home are patients with high plant counts, over a hundred plants for two patients. Cops asked questions, did not ask for med card or EPC paperwork, occupants complied because they were legal. HOA followed up with sheriff, who confirmed compliance and confirmed over 100 plants on the property. Sorry granny, nothing can be done. Sheriff confirmed they do not ask about electric usage or work with local utilities if grows are reported. So that's nice.
Smell is not probable cause for a search warrant. If they come you can play nice and show them you are legal, or you can ignore a knock and talk but you will likely be put on a list somewhere. If you are legal and have nothing to hide it's all good. If you are not compliant or are otherwise engaging in risky behavior like having a gun in the garden is exactly that, risky. I think it's safe to say that those who are serious about not being caught are taking steps to ensure that, and the cops are more interested in demonizing pot so they can keep charging DUID's.
This all makes me feel a little better. I can't see them scrambling through my home causing my marraige all kinds of issues just because of a few stinky plants.The advice so far is good. I agree with X that recreational regulations do not cap possession assuming the product stays where it is grown.

Show them your ATH Number Two and they'll leave you alone for shizzle.I have avoided quite a few issues by just not opening the door. Same as keeping your mouth shut unless your attorney is present, no sense in giving a single shred of evidence against yourself or any sort of assistance to those trying to harm you.
Be careful, it is very likely that you will be asked to drop a UA when you have your final meetings prior to getting out of the system. It fucked me into another six months of probation. Never took a UA during the time I was under supervision, and they got me. Fuckers.Never in my life will I ever let some pig fuck in my house to do a plant count. Legal or not.
Totally agree with the pot DUI bullshit. Revenue seeking asshats! I found a DUI therapy class that doesn't ua there unsupervised probation clients. What a relief lol
Make sure the better half is on the same page as you are with regards to saying thanks but no thanks to a police visit. Once the front door opens there are no take-backs, but you are definitely in the right place. It's good for you that there are a lot of bigger fish out there.This all makes me feel a little better.
