In most jurisdictions the observation of the offense permits a warrantless search. Take Texas for example, here's the arrest without warrant statute. Notice it allows arrest by non police as well. It's a heavily litigated portion of that code. Whether or not the cop really saw anything or not...

Why don't you pony up a consultation fee and go see a lawyer in your area who handles these things? It would be fuckloads more reliable than asking any of these stoners here. Hightimes has a legal directory. Check it out.

Best so far. Sold my friend almost all of my equipment and showed him how to grow. I'm amazed at how quickly others were telling me that he was growing.

Ended up getting married to ex-wife.

It's probably a legal search. Check points have always been deemed legal by nine guys wearing robes. There are some parameters, such as you can't only search black people at the check point. But the check everybody or check every fifth person, or whatever is the criteria, holds up every time.

Oddly enough a lot more than you would think. I've handled a lot of civil cases for Dallas-Ft. Worth area cops --mainly getting sued by creditors. Many made their $$$$ from off duty jobs that aren't around any more. I think you'd be surprised how many cops smoke.

It's less of a hell hole police state if you're white and "say the right things," and run in the approved circles. A person can fuck up a lot and get away with it if he's the kid of a prominent business owner who supports the local candidates, openly loves Jesus and guns, hates gays and...

lol. . . . .

I have to admit that I thought the same thing Cannabisguru. 30 plants is a lot to me. But then that may not be the case for others. I'm not a smoker and only grew until my dad lost his fight with cancer, just a few years grow experience total. Once I had a good mom plant I'd clone maybe two at a...

"Marihuana" is the correct legal spelling in most jurisdictions. In Texas it's spelled that way throughout Chapter 481 of the Health and Safety Code. Here's a link: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/ It was spelled with an "h" back in the 1930s during the Tax Act. It was spelled both ways...

I dunno. I'm not exactly sure why anybody would need 40-50 plants or so for personal consumption. Seems like one or two plants every few months would be a good bit. A very small set up would probably not change the air temperature in a room more than a degree or two. But then one person's plenty...

The report is inadmissible under TRE 802 and probably not going to be used in a PC hearing. If there is a PC hearing. I'm wondering if the OP has been formally charged yet. So far, I've only been able to establish that he's been arrested and out on bond. Drain? Has the Grand Jury issued an...

In post #50 of this thread: In response to post #48 I'm guessing the DA is going to argue consent. Has the OP even been indicted yet?

I'm not in the Houston area and I stick to the civil side of the docket.

I'm too lazy to go back re-read so I might be off. I think the original poster's wife consented to the search to get around the warrant. But I'd still file the Motion to Quash just the same because you really don't have anything to lose. It's probably a loser in Harris County where there are...

Oh Jesus Christ this so isn't true. The D.A. can't offer privilege --that's what you call client confidentiality and it's not a law. So I'm gonna take the not option on this believe it or not choice. The D.A. represents the state and that is his client, not anyone else. Privilege extends only to...

One of them fucking works for the D.A.'s office in Midland. Yeah call him after you get that after the fact Texas MMJ prescription. Oh wait, there is no medical marijuana in Texas.

^^^^^Kinda this. If it's in plain sight while executing the warrant you're SOL. What is plain sight depends on the warrant. If it's a consent search, then that was just stupid, there are no parameters until to put them in place. There's some really, really, really bad legal advice going on in...

You'd be surprised how few rights tenants have. There's nothing in the property code in my state for repair and maintenance notice. Although it is customary to give so. Most leases I've seen have a provision to allow the landlord to enter at anytime. If you reside in a bigger apartment complex...

Just a couple of points. First, just because someone is a member of the State Bar of Texas, doesn't mean they get drafted for court appointments. Second. Always, Always, Always ask for a jury trial. Any lawyer would know to do this. You will lose a bench trial. The defense bar sometimes calls it...
