i hear that. but for those times you need to bring your reefer with ya, put it under your nuts when youre pulled over. theyll hold it, unless the cop lifts em up, then youre screwed.

i just put em in this compartment in my truck (where sunglasses and things go.) theyve never looked there. youd have to look real close to even notice there's a compartment there.

Ok all you LEO's out there answer me this, a cop has a search warrant and they are searching my house probably to find weed lets just say to find weed. They find none, they do find an air tight safe thats about 75 pounds of solid metal. They bring in the dogs and the dogs dont respond to the safe (its airtight) Now do they get rights to open the safe? What if its a combo lock am i forced to tell them the combo? And if i choose not to can they use a torch to open it? Thanks for your time..this ones bugging me.

TC, the simple answer is yes, we can open the safe.

The warrant gives us the right to search any part of the residence that the item (in this case mj) could be located. Considering that you could put a single joint almost anywhere, that means we can search in the tiniest of spaces.

You'd probably be asked to open the safe, but if you refused, it would get opened by force if needed.

In addition to what Nite said, my depatment has a "Safe-Cracking" team for situations such as that.

*looks for a new hiding spot and certainly not my safe. I suppose ill just have to be a little more clever than that huh guys? I wont divulge too much information as not to incriminate myself in a public audience such as this but thanks for the responses guys. Your always a big help.

A question for the L.E.Os on the boards:

In a lot of states, possession of more than one ounce of marijuana is considered "intent to deliver" and is classified as a felony.

Is it up to the officer to determine whether or not a person is intending to distribute (sell) the pot? What if someone had two ounces for personal use only, yet is charged with intent to distribute — when there is no evidence that he or she intends to sell the amount?

Thanks for any info on this matter

Cheers!

Ok I hope im posting this in the right place, first time ive done this..

Im in california by the way..

Ok I was in my apartment when the police come knocking on my door, me and my roomate answered the door. Once the door was open the police as they where walking inside the house said whats going on here tonight? My friend and I both asked why they where in our house without permission or a warrant, the police responded by saying sit the **** down, shut the **** up. They then searched the house and found a marijuana plant, 2 bongs, and less than half an ounce. But anyway after they searched the house they finally told us what the came to the apartment for, they came because someone lied and told them we where throwing eggs from our balcony. Does that give the cop the right to enter my home without asking or having a warrant??
We went to jail for three days, but luckily the DA reduced the charges to possession of marijuana under 28.5 grams.
Thanks for your help

Mac,
A lot is determined by the facts presented at the time of arrest. In CA, you can be arrested for, "Possession of MJ for Sales" with a mere joint. OTOH, you can be arrested for, only "Possession" if you have an ounce of weed. It all depends on the cirumstances surrounding the incident. Too many ifs, ands, buts and the others to explain clearly.

However I will say this. It really is not up to the arresting officer what the charge will/should be. That is determined by the evidence recovered and circumstances at the time of arrest.

Thanks, much, Slate…I knew I had a question that had a lot of "grey area," but you helped me narrow it down.

Cheers!

My first one:

Is there a such thing as too little weed to charge you with possesion? Cause on some cop shows, and from stuff i have heard around. A gram or two may not cause the cop to arrest you. Like in a FEW episodes of cops they would say something like "We only found a joint, there really isn't enogh here", something on those grounds. It dosn't make sense that they would let you off seeing that you are still possesing a illegal substance. Or does this just vary from state to state?


My Second question:

If a cop were to search my car and he found a bag with a few grams in the back seat, and arrested me. In court could i use the excuse that maybe someone left it there, and that they have no proof it is mine? Cause on a couple of occasions i have found a bag while cleaning out my back seats, and something like that would kill me during a search, cause i mostly keep my car clean of contraband that would get me into trouble.


I know you LEOs are busy answering all the questions we have, so whenever you get a chance.
