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

There are Federal Laws to overturn State Laws...... Hayez you don't know man, give it up. who cares anyway man. The dude is still gonna smoke no matter what, so why are we arguing on a point like this. So you are telling me that if a cop see you in the act of doing a bong in your house blantantly in the window they cannot come in? They why all you pot smking beotches hiding, closing blinds, using sneaky language, and all the sheot to keep it quiet? hahahahahahaha funny. Have you read the Patriot act........ They can apply it to anything, it has so many loops in it. It has more loops than a rollercoaster. What does this have to do with smelling pot? Do you remember when they blamed the drug trades here in America on terrorists..... that was all bullshit, that was just a way to get in your house, phone, computer........... you name it.

no you dont have to answer...if they have a warrent thwey will come in...if they dont they wil leave and your ok

that is true, unless the police have reason to believe that someone is in desperate need of help ie; someone screams for help..

but no, they cannot come in..

 

[walliwalibus]

we agree to disagree??

"No they cannot come in"

Famous last words uttered by many in county jails at this moment.

Chill out dude, if the cops ask the manager to open the door, its still the cops going into your unti without a warrant and they know they cant do that.

might want read your lease, you might have signed one that say the manager can come in.

Also, cable guys,bug guys sometimes give police info.

Federal Law SUPERSEDES State Law. Doesn't mean it over turns it. It means the FBI can do what the CHIPS can't or won't.
Like I said. Medicinal marijuana use is widespread (legal in California, Nevada, Colorado, ect, ect...), but illegal federally. No way can ANY CA police officer assume you don't have the state legal right to smoke pot in your apartment.
Anyone that believes that police have nothing better to do (actually doing nothing is better) than to case your residence for a possible marijuana infraction is a fool - lol.
Any one that believes that smoking marijuana (possession of less than an ounce) in ANY state is a felony doesn't no shit about the law (Puerto Rico is not a state). Nevada was the last state to reduce the marijuana statute from a felony to a misdemeanor for personal consumption without a prescription.
Holy crap - the stupidity I've read on this thread pisses me the fuck off !!!
Now was this so fucking hard to google?

local cops like to bust stoners in order to :

1) raise revenue for the state with fines and 2) find out their dealers.

#2 leads to gangs, organized crimes, huge stashes of weed, bigger badder criminals - and best of all - promotions for street cops to detective/sergeant.

And we all know being caught red-headed with drugs is an open and shut case. Very easy for DA's to prosecute. Then comes the 'tell us what you know where u got it from for leniency' trade.

And if your stuck at $55k a year and wanna get $85k a year very soon - guess who you'll be busting.

No one gets promoted for handing out speeding tickets all day.

Hey here's a really INSANE, CRAZZZZZY idea:

Stop smoking

fuck that just cover up the smell better bro. Here are some things you can do. Light and incent(sp?) and/or light up a cigarette when you smoke. Dont smoke joints or blunts because the smell lingers.........instead smoke out of a bowl or bong. This way its not constantly lit. Also put a towel under your door to prevent some of the smoke from leaving you apartment.

You did good not to answer. if you answered, they would have said that they had probable cause, etc. By not answering the door, they had a weaker case for getting a judge to sign a search warrant, and they probably didn't want to go through the trouble to get one right then and come back. However, don't be surprised if they don't come back later with one. SO, MAKE CERTAIN THERE IS NO CONTRABAND IN YOUR APARTMENT, JUST IN CASE.
