IF You were Reported to the Police for Growing

IF You were Reported to the Police for Growing How long would it take for the boys to come knocking at your door?

 

Interested to know from people who have been raided or even people that have heard from someone who knows some one that was visited.

 

Just wondering if it is days/months/years .... I am not sure if someone has reported me so I was wondering how long to wait until i could reassure myself that it is just my paranoia and not based on fact.

well first of all....ya dont usually get a warning .....n second...if ya even slightly worried, why risk it ...fly under the radar and shut down/clear out and be calm ....if they`re gonna come theyere`s not much els ya can do

as long as they freakin well want?

 

They may bust you immediately on becoming aware of your activity or they may suspect you of being a problem to society and wish to bust not only you but any nefarious mate you supply drugs to, in which case they'll watch you and anybody you talk to.

 

freakin scary hey?

 

sorry, I consider this a stupid question.

Harsh BaronS, I understand that they could come when ever they want (providing they had due cause) but I was wondering how long it took based on peoples experience...

How many coppers ring up suggesting 'you were dobbed on, we're watching you' and bust you several weeks later?

 

No-one, despite any claim they may make, knows when they 'popped up' on the radar.

Hello Spartan,

I live in a pretty isolated spot in SE Qld and had a visit from a small dark blue helicopter one morning and two and a half weeks later I was visited by 4 plain clothes officers. I had plants in the back yard.

I don't think it's a silly question at all as I was wondering the same thing myself at the time. I'm not saying this was the moment I came onto the 'radar' (although I'm not engaged in any other kind of activity that would alert the boys in blue to my growing), but it would have been the moment of confirmation.

I think what baron is trying to say is that the amount of time lapsed for anyone else, even if they knew the exact moment the police became aware of their activities, is irrelevant.

The police could turn up in hours, or it could be days, weeks, months, even years if they suspect you are part of something larger...

 

it depends on so many things its not worth thinking about, if you are worried about WHEN the pigs are going to arrive then you have security issues that need attention and you should keep your nose clean until they are fixed.

[BaronS]

and if I may be a little 'loose' with THC's interpretation,

 

the better idea is not to hit the radar, and should you do so complete system shutdown ASAP is advised.

 

I consider myself 'much too easy going' with information, but then I'm either really paranoid, or the whole world _is_ out to get me.

took the pigs a week to come and when they did come they never mentioned growing or weed , just placed a spot light on the grow room from his car and quizzed me on various subjects and more or less warned me to stop doing anything wrong .. who me ? i packed up that night and closed down for a year , lost my best kush too .

Maybe i should explain myself better so you stop 'schooling me'

 

3 months ago i had an inspection, so i packed everything away, but left a book out on the counter (Jorge Cervantes Growing Guide), the Cover was hidden, if he did see it he would have had to read the side. I dont think that he did see it.

 

I noticed that night that the book was out. So i gave the plants away and have left everything packed up... He probably didn't see it, But you cant be too safe yeh?

 

So now three months on i am trying to find out when i can start again...
