the story seems a lttle fishy to me! 5 cars, all for something that is 100% legal!
then he lets them search his house without a warrent which they wouldn't have gotten anyway because they had nothing against this guy. after all that, they find about $1000 dollars worth of gear and they only give him a ticket! come on guys use your brains.
I know this is an old post. Fishy it may sound, yes. But they do the weirdest things. I've personally witnessed enough busts both steroids and other illegal compounds via being at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time and also on ride alongs with a cop friend on a beat. This friend or I should say 4 of my cop friends do the shittiest things sometimes. They do WHATEVER THEY PLEASE. Because.... THEY CAN. You can say they CAN'T. But my counter is THEY DO. Sure you can fight it, you can exercise your rights, but they're a step ahead of you most always and protect each other and lie lie lie. I know FIRST hand. But in instances where I KNOW first hand, I've been glad they did, as they were god aweful illegals that were involved in the rape of a young boy and it lead to many thousands of pounds of Heroin ultimately. So LIE.... that was fine with me. They violated this guy's rights so bad (I will not be specific) and YES illegals have more rights than you'd believe, but the guy was THE actual guy that had raped the 9 year old, just by luck they caught him along with the heroin. Could have been any number of the cartel guys but it was HIM.
So coming into the house WITHOUT a warrant. YEAH they'll do that. No warrant is necessary for a girl (was it this guy's sister I believe?) letting them in. She probably signed and they showed badges and said we are coming in, and she opened the door for them,. Game on, you just lost your right to not having them in now. They (the police are ALLOWED to lie to get confessions believe it or not). Stating things like "are you going to let us do this the easy or hard way etc," like are you going to let us search you on a voluntary basis or do we have to arrest you on the spot for the Fina and the kits on intent and then tear your house inside out with the warrant we get while your still waiting to post bond? These are the words of many cops. They are trained to do this. You say YES out of fear, and bam, now they have reasonable cause, permission, and can bust you for scheduled substances (Steroids). They couldn't have done that without his permission or without letting them in. The answer is "Thank you, but NO you are not coming in or have my permission to enter the premises" And of course if they're in there and threaten jail if you dont' let them look...think about it, why would they be giving an ultimatum if they could just LOOK. The answer. NO YOU MAY NOT, Charge me or release me now. And please leave my house. Call your attorney, or any attorney out of the yellow pages while they're their. they change their attitudes quickly. But this guy's claims about what they did, are not out of the ordinary. They'll do this and much much worse, lol. They are trained to intimidate and make you think you do NOT have a choice. If they are giving you options, you are in the drivers seat as a sort of general rule. They cannot make deals with you! They are NOT the judge jury and verdict. Stand your ground.
Finaplix - I know 2 employees at Vet America. One used to be a client of mine at a media company and she just happened to go get another job and end up there. Lol, I told her, jeese lol, You'll come in handy even though you're not my client any longer because I have a lovely reason to shop at your store. She HAS told me this: that there is a list of products that are logged for inspection by the feds or whomever the part of the law is that inspects these products and each sale is recorded on that list. She added that as far as she knew (worked there short of a year at the time) that she had never seen the list sequested or anyone come in. Who knows? Someone knows. But it's nice to have it taken outside the place without a credit card and pay with a money order to your friend instead of the company. OOOOPs.
doesn't work there anymore. Too bad for me.
Guys, be careful. Be thoughtful, use a prepaid debit, money orders, western union if possible (under $999) etc. Don't think you can use your CC and order away on a product that IS illegal. I don't care what you say about it not being illegal in the pellet form. They don't care about pellets, they do care who has them and will sit back and watch until you don't have any in pellet form anymore because they are all in a 50 or 100ml jug.
Good luck to all. The government KNOWS what's best for you and I. lol. They are there to help you...lol Some of them even have 21" guns with a middle name of Hypocrit. Such is the world we live in.
Peace
