New Police Tactic? Bros Read This!

[Warmachine]

When i came home from work last night, there was a note on my door from my manager telling me the police had been in my house. Some how, 911 was "called" from my apartment 2 hours after i left for work. No one lives here but me, so wtf? Apparently the police had to "check to make sure no one was hurt in my house". They said that sometimes "Computers call 911 on mistake" How the fuck could my comp dial 911 by itself?
I felt lucky i had no gear in the house...it doesnt appear they searched for anything...
lol, i even had this wep page up but the moniter was off.

So, how and why did they come check on me? Is this a new tactic to catch steroid users? In such a situation, without a warrent, can they seize any gear they find?

Be careful guys...keep your shit hidden real well, you never know if police might come to your house responding to a "911 emergency".

Hey, bro, I just called my cousin who is a very famous lawyer in the states. He told me that you got a HUGE!! lawsuit on hand. You lease, or you own, they invaded your property, and all you have to do is get a trace of all the calls made. YOU CAN GET BIG BUCKS!!! My friend, consider this the equivalent of winning a small lottery, because you'll get money for sure.

Consider this, 911 was called, if it there was no response on the other end (calling party) then it is an open 911 call and deemed of high importance. They did not enter your premises to harass you or take advantage of you they were ensuring that no one from within the apt was in need of emergency services.

Suppose for a minute, you had been home, you called 911 and were unable to respond to the operator (say you had a stroke or had fallen and hit your had and were unable to speak. Or your place had been invaded by a bad guy and you managed to get the call off but were unable to talk because of the intruder.

What would you do if they never came? If they did they did not investigate further?

You see I was a Deputy Sheriff and it is a catch 22 damned if you do, damned if you don't. So, remember that. I don't believe you have any lawsuit. They did what they did in good faith. Leave it at that.

Also, this should be on the chat board. If you feel it should not be there, pm me and I will move it to the Anabolic board at best. But this has nothing to do with counterfit gear.

That 911 calling from a comp is BS, and you really do have a lawsuit if they did indeed enter your home, does it accually look like they were in there? was the door broken down?? how the hell did they get in?

Sorry, but he does not have a lawsuit. Period. l can tell you how far it will go. Right into the circular basket. You all are paying for their protection of you and your property. I suppose while your place is being ransacked and your girl is being raped, because you didn't call, you are not home, they should not enter your premises and intervene.

And yes, computers using fax/modem/voice boards and software can make random phone number calls. I have had many a false 911, and always made it a point to go by and look into any window I found and if the door was open or unlocked, I would check the premeises and then secure it if nothing was found amiss.

Quit being so paranoid. They did their job and would not risk a lawsuit or losing a case from improper use of authority and violating someones civil rights.

 

[Imnotdutch]

Mebbe some of you should stop and think about what would have happened if this call was actually real. Would you still say the police shouldnt have entered? Or are they meant to just know whether the call is real or not?

Also note that the original poster said that they didnt appear to search for anything. So I doubt that this is some new tactic to catch users.

BTW what happens to the law suit when the trace of calls shows that the original call was spurious call from his computer?

fucking cops are always abusing their power. If it wasnt for cops always trying to be the heros, then OJ would be in lock down for some serious time. Instead, a cop sees a blood spot the size of a dime and climbs a ten foot wall trying to be supercop.

I could not tell you if you have a lawsuit or not but you may want to check with an attorney to be sure so you do not shoot yourself in the foot! If the police had seen anything lying out that was ILLEGAL they could of charged you with it because it was in plain view.I remember a case like this where a 911 call was made from a home and the police responded and searched the premises and found a huge "HYDROPONIC" GANJA FARM in the home. The owner was charged with intent to distribute and endangering a minor because the kids lived in the home with the parents and the amount of weed that was on hand. Imagine you had a large quantity of gear on hand , well those are narcotics to the police so you would be in deep shit and possible distribution charges also. BE CAREFUL.......... Also if the cops do not respond there would

You "may" be able to get a small settlement. But damages for things like that are capped at a failry small number. Is it worth it?

 

[oompha-loompha]

You say the police did not take anything, search anything, or harrass anyone? Right? If they have not responded and you made a call youd be like WTF. They were only there to make sure NOT ABUSE POWER.

PS WIZKID I'm certain they did not BREak Down The door. You fokin retard

 

[Mtime1]

Get to the bottom of this and find out exactly what happened.

Maybe it was a mistake. Maybe not. Maybe they were trying to set you up. Maybe not.

Our rights are slowly being taken away from us and we should all be careful.

My best friend is a criminal attorney and you just wouldn't believe the shit that goes on in local, state, and federal law enforcement.

Keep us updated.

Do you have a cordless phone??? I don't know about the newer models, but some of the older ones would dial 911 when the batteries ran low for some reason.

 

[decem]

half of you are way off on your posts regarding the 911 call and settlement.

Mr. X was basing his premise on the fact that 911 WAS NOT ACTUALLY CALLED. so yes, of course if 911 was called there would be case. and probably even if 911 wasn't called, the cops would just say the dispatcher gave the wrong address or they accidently responded to the wrong address and at that point you would have to prove intent on the cops to make up a reason to search your house (i.e. the landlord suspects you of shit, has a good friend that's a cop and owes him a favor - or something like that)..

but then if you could prove that there was NO 911 call, and there wasn't even a 911 call regarding a similar address, and the cops made up the 911 thing for the landlord or the landlord made up the 911 thing for the cops (ooohh - that could be it - doesn't your manager have a key to your apt?) with the intent of catching with something else - THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A LAWSUIT.

What to do, what to do......

Bro..... let it ride for now but consider two things.
First, if they did come and see some gear, they would have to leave the premises and go and obtain one to be able to do a legal search and still have it hold up in a courtroom.
Second, consider it fortunate that they found nothing because if they did, they would most likely, depending on the amount found or seen, would have "reasonable cause" to monitor your residence 24/7 just to see the what interaction takes place at your home.
One thing that you could do is get trace on the call and see that it doesn't occur for a second time... that maybe an option for you.... here in Canada things are done just a tad different... the buggers make up laws to justify their actions of "search and seizure".... the catch phrase is "probable cause" it covers a bunch of bases for them as well as covering their assets.... if you know what I mean.

No, they would not have to leave it. They found it and now they are by law allowed to search for more fruits of the crime.

If they believe it may lead to something bigger then they would get a warrant, just to cover their assess.

Let's talk about, reasonable search and seizure.

If I find something in plain view (there are no reasonable expectations of privacy) then I can continue to look for more fruits of the crime, arrest you, search you and on.

Again I could go on for a long time. I'll post a biggy all about search and seizure and so on. Seen as how I was a Deputy Sheriff and all and have a pretty good working knowledge of this.

Agree with Chesty

I completely agree with chesty on this one. It sounds as if they did their job. I, for one, am relieved to know should I dial 911 and am not able to speak that someone will check up on me. Amidst all of this talk about how it's "bullshit" and they are trying to bust you illegally, we seem to be forgetting that buying, selling and possesing anabolics without a prescription is a FELONY. If you have it, you ARE breaking the law. Don't get me wrong...I think the shit should be legal too, but this is the way it is. Ultimately, if they entered your house to respond to a 911 call (bogus or otherwise) they have no right or reason to search your home for ANYTHING illegal. If it's sitting on your kitchen table however...

Get a record of calls made from your home from the phone company. If there were no 911 calls made on the date in question, then you have every right (and SHOULD) sue for everything MR.X said and then some.

If there indeed WAS a 911 call made on that date, then as chesty said, they police were doing their job. If there was a call made, then they were in there looking for you to help you if something was wrong. As you said, they didn't find anything and it doesn't appear that they searched, so if they were there with a good reason (i.e. 911 somehow called), then leave it alone and be happy that you have some responsible police in your area.
