Marijuana: If the cops knock on my apartment door do I have to answer it?

One smell of da hash and they have cause to smash your door down and take you to jail.

they *MIGHT* smell weed if your door is closed, but if you open it up for them they *WILL* smell and (possibly) see it.

always keep your door closed.

No, not in the scenario as stated in the thread starter. In this scenario the odor of marijuana in the hallway of my apartment building is THICK THICK THICK. Pungent thick. This is a worst case scenario.

But yes, ideally always keep your door closed, I guess.

I'm still trying to find out if keeping it closed, not answering the door (even though it's apparent that we're home) and waiting for them to give up and go away is an option.

Well, then I think you're being wreckless. 1 phonecall will get your ass in cuffs bro.
 
police just can't go kicking in doors in an apartment building because they smell weed in the hallway. it would be too hard for them to pinpoint it enough that they could kick in a door without a warrant and have it stand up in court.
 
Do not open the door if they knock. They will not kick down the door because they smell pot smoke. You sound like a paranoid smoker.

mate, you have no idea how strong even the faintest hint of good weed is to someone who doesnt smoke it. seriously, they can smell it.
over here you cannot be arrested for having a small amount in a private place, say having a few joints in your own home, the police are pretty much powerless to do anything.
but in usa where the laws are a lot stricter, im surprised they didnt kick your door in.

With a little but not a lot of confidence I say that it would take a considerable amount of time for them to aquire a search warrant. Like maybe a few hours. Would the cops stand around at someones apartment door for several hours, with a cop car or two waiting outside for two hours or more just because they smell marijuana? I am not on probation, I have no drug arrests or convictions and I have no warrant out for my arrest. I live in California.

Then again: would a California judge sign a warrant as such?
.To obtain a search warrant, an officer must first prove that probable cause exists before a judge, based upon direct information (i.e. obtained by the officer's personal observation) or hearsay information.. so unless u have been being watched for some time or someone is rattin u out .. it should take time imo
 
Hey here's a really INSANE, CRAZZZZZY idea:

Stop smoking
