Been gettin a lot of advice about what I couda/shoulda done. Just my response to those who aren't in my shoes.......

Many thanks to all the brethren who have offered kind words of support and thoughtful advice. As you all know, I have freely admitted that I brought these troubles on myself by failing to observe the #1 Rule: Don't share info about your operation with anybody. For the cretins here who are...

Nothing relevant left to say. You self satisfied pseudo--intellectuals have had your fun with me.....and my true friends have ad their remarks. In any case, goodbye for now.

......and don't anyone here try to tell me they haven't seen a tv show where the cops parked themselves on somebody's front steps while they waited for a warrant. If you don't have a law degree, please stop telling my how stupid I am. Thank you.

First time I ever heard of it, too, but the lawyer wasn't surprised. Manatee County Florida is apparently located at the bottom of the rabbit hole. "We're all mad here." Flash

What do you want me to say? I watch TV too, I know you never let the cops in without a warrant. Duh. My situation: 5 cops at the door, saying they will stay there until the warrant arrives. I call a good lawyer, who talks to the cops and tells me that there definitely was a warrant on the...

I let them in because my lawyer advised me, after talking to the cops on my cell phone, that they would absolutely have a warrant in hand shortly, and things would go better if I just consented to search. And, yes, I'm really wondering if that was a good decision, but there's no way to change...

All excellent questions. When the cops showed up they did NOT have a warrant. They said they had an anonymous call about excessive fan noise. Now, there was no fan noise you could hear from outside, no outside venting, no FLIR signature, no odor, etc. It was a very clean, discrete setup...

Boy howdy, are they listening! I'll see what the lawyer has to say. If it's mine to dispose of, as I believe it is, I'll get what I can for it. Or I'll give it away, rather than let those jack-booted thugs have it. Will have more info after a meeting Monday morning. But my understanding...

I]ll check with the lawyer. Thanks for the heads-up.

Nope. They explained that all they needed to take was the actual vegetation, get photos of the op, and render it unusable. It's mine to dispose of. Fortunately, they didn't have the wit to seriously damage the good stuff - put slashes in the tents and cut some wires. With a few wire nuts and...

Hey, why not? They got what they wanted (some uprooted plants), and left the rest. It ain't like there's anything to hide. I have a perfectly legal right to sell my own possessions. Plus, I kind of like the idea of recovering a few bucks when they thought they were doing an Untouchables...

Thanks, Scrog. We'll get through it one way or another. I just don't get why they're spending the time and resources on a little home grow when we are in the nation's leading area of pill mills and other life-destroying operations. They want to look like they just got Walter White and busted...

Thanks for all the heartfelt support, my brethren. I have a competent lawyer, and it's possible the cops screwed up when they tore up my home and terrorized my family. I'm cautiously hopeful, and thank god I'm able to conduct a defense from the sunny side of the Greybar Hotel. It's Florida...
